AFLW Erin Phillips is home!

[Ford Fairlane]

A bit salty.

It's always a heartwarming story when someone escapes a cult.

 

[Tibbs]

LOL .. The Crows started it. Such poor losers.

Awesome news

Now let's grab a few more of their stars while we're at it

 

[carlfromport]

For someone who hasn't watched much aflw and knows Erin isn't the youngest player anymore. How many years would she have left in her?

Can't begrudge this move at all. Has been amazing for us. Three flags in 5 years. Makes sense to go back to her heartland.

She'll be 37 in about three weeks time - she may be older than the parents of some of our rookie signings

'Expansion Club'.

How juvenile is that.

The women's league has only been in existence for 6 years.

Pretty obvious that tweet was posted from a member of the old boys club at West Lakes.

Someone should 'inform' them about respect.

Not as exciting as the December 2015 announcement when she was part of the 5 signings before Christmas.

But a lot better than 2015.

And still have better instinct about how to play the game than 70% of those currently playing in the AFLW and a fair chunk of those playing AFL.

Nah! It’s all good. It was well played.

Surely that's not real. surely!

Congrats to you guys. Erin is a superstar and I suspect her biggest contribution to your club will not be what she does on the field, but the standards she sets off-field for the next generation of footballing women. If you can convince her to remain on in a coaching capacity once her playing days are over you will have done very well.

Also just want to say, massive respect to Greg Phillips, as big a Port legend as there could possibly be, who nonetheless happily pulled on a Crows jumper and supported his daughter in the stands from day one. That whole family is as classy as they come. It feels right that he will get to see his daughter be the among the first women to pull on the Port guernsey and do battle on the oval where he dominated for so many years.

True but at 37 and recon knee I wouldn't want her to be the player that carries the load as our only marquee player. I hope that Phillips is the first signing as a show of respect to her but the club has other good players signed and awaiting to be announced.

Reading the ABC News website and they pointed out that the Camry Crows couldn't even bring themselves to mention Port Adelaide in their press release this morning.

Pissants from Pissantville.

Surely that's not real. surely!

It's the Advertiser.

Surely you're not surprised. Surely?

Let the poor dears vent, saves a lot of ambulance ramping from violent assaults with knitting needles.

And after we gave them their new superstar CHB Billy who kept Marshall to just 5 goals!

The crows supporters that I know and have some smidgen of an interest believe that we are getting an Erin way past her prime and was hardly a feature in their wins this year. They might be right.
