Confirmed Erin Phillips [Port Adelaide's first AFLW signing]

[Lore]

Daughter of Greg, who played 343 SANFL games for Port Adelaide in the 1980s (as well as a few for Collingwood in the old VFL).

She originally signed as a marquee player for Port Adelaide, depending on whether they acquired a license for the inaugural AFLW season, which they obviously didn't, and she's gone on to star for Adelaide, co-captained from 2017-2020, winning two Premiership Medals and two AFLW Best & Fairest Awards.

So will she join Port now that they have a license? Or is she an Adelaide Crow with a legacy to uphold...

Presumably we won't find out until Adelaide finish their finals campaign.

This thread might get interesting now...

Hatchard thread might be a hell of a lot more interesting, once it's up and running. But who knows.

It'll make sense for her to join Port Adelaide.

She is Port royalty.

I would have Erin Phillips as Captain coach with her dad as game day coach.

I did find this a nice and funny little sledge/dig "an expansion club"

In the sense of "returns home"?

The Crows announced she was leaving before Port announced the signing I can only assume they used Expansion so that Port got to announce she was coming to them which was a big an important moment for a new club.
