Cat Phillips, who has played 44 games across her past six AFLW season and was the Saints’ inaugural co-captain.

A dual-sport athlete, Phillips represented Australia at ultimate frisbee before being drafted by Melbourne as a category B rookie ahead of the Demons’ first AFLW season.

Moving to St Kilda ahead of the 2019 season, Phillips has become known for her leadership, unwavering determination and work-rate throughout the Saints’ midfield.

Five more to don the sash

Liked her as a player since day dot. Not the most complete player but does a lot right and gives an honest performance. List build coming along nicely.

They are in the semi final tomorrow morning against Germany.

She is awesome as a player. One of the best in the world.

They have players go off with missing fingers every game.

When we have full time players we will be able to tell them not to play basketball under the name “Phil Inn” in the off-season… at the moment the CBA gives them the right to play other sports and to put study and work ahead of footy.

But in Cat’s case she has a pretty decent full time job when she’s not playing two elite sports, so full time footy probably means she quits footy :/

And she is seriously one of the best in the world at Ultimate.
