The AFLPA awards are on right now.

For the third year in a row Chelsea has been voted by her peers as the most courageous player

She missed her plane to Melbourne this morning apparently.

Onya Chelsea. The correct decision

Is there a way to watch it?

I like this idea from Meg Downie. After Randall's eventual retirement, of course.

After winning the AFLW Most Courageous Player Award three years in a row, I believe Chelsea Randall is worthy of having the award named after her.

AFLPA Best Captain is Bri Davey, with Phillips and then Randall second and third respectively.

Probably hampered by having the votes split between the two of them.

Yes it is a shame, wish they could be nominated as a captain unit because both Chelsea Randall and Erin Philips are everything you would hope and want as a captain, wonderful leaders

I know in the past they did have it through foxfooty but I forgot to check.

Did any of them make it? Might have been partying a bit too hard last night!

 

[CrowinNT]

Couldn’t find anything on FOX

I guess all The programming was set around the GF being played on a Saturday

 

[NikkiNoo]

The Awards are all set prior to the end of the season. They might have something later in a shortened package. The league MVP stuff is tomorrow night.

Cramey, Marinoff, Ponter, Thompson and Hatchard did manage to get on the flight. Seems Erin is giving it a miss.

 

[NikkiNoo]

And in a surprise to no one Erin has her second AFLPA MVP and a column from her brother in law

http://www.aflplayers.com.au/article/erin-phillips-always-strives-for-greatness/

"That drive to be the best is something no one can teach. You have to want it and Erin certainty does."

"it didn’t matter what game it was whether it was playing table tennis or shooting basketball shots out the back, she hated to lose and she had to win. If she didn’t win then we wouldn’t stop playing till she finally did. "

Interviews from the 'Coral Carpet' tonight featuring Danielle Ponter, Chelsea Randall and Erin Phillips and Tracey Marie.

 

[NikkiNoo]

As suspected, they ignored the best full back in the league over someone who is more flashy in the AA team.

Congrats to Erin, Chelsea, Stevie-Lee, Ebony and Anne for making the team. Foley also didn't make the team as they went with Lauren Pearce from Melbourne who didn't feature at all in the league stats for rucking, while Foley did. (see twitter pic link below)

[NikkiNoo]

An acceptable looking bunch

 

[NikkiNoo]

Poor Chelsea, she's only the Vice-Captain of the AA team. The Captain - her co-captain in Erin

Bog in a granny captIning a side that dominated the league and not good enough to make captain over a victorian? Seriously.

How could she get a mvp and not the captaincy!?

Look at how adelaide went last year when Erin was injured, compared to the year before when she was robbed of the captaincy in eerily similar circumstances.
