DUAL-CODE star Erin Phillips has won Adelaide's inaugural women's club champion award in Darwin on Wednesday night to cap five memorable and accolade-filled days.
The triumph ensured a triple treat of success for the Olympic basketballer, who also took out the AFLW Players' MVP on Monday and the competition's best and fairest on Tuesday.
Phillips, 31, was consistently brilliant in her return to football and earned best-on-ground honours in the Crows' gripping, six-point grand final win over the Brisbane Lions last Saturday.
The midfielder-forward revealed she would make a decision on her sporting future within weeks, hinting she was unlikely to continue juggling football and basketball.
Phillips is due to return to the United States in mid-April to complete the last year of her contract with WNBA club Dallas Wings.
"It's been kind of a blur; just very, very surreal what we've done, what we've accomplished – having nine of us here in Darwin and meeting every week for Skype sessions," Phillips said.
"Everyone (said) we were never going to be successful and we stuck it right up them, really. It was amazing.
"The next couple of weeks will be pretty significant and I'll probably go with footy or basketball. There's obviously a lot of commitment to both sports, but we'll see what happens."
Phillips polled 108 votes to narrowly hold off fellow co-captain Chelsea Randall (100), with AFLW Rising Star winner Ebony Marinoff (92) and speedster Jess Sedunary (82) not far behind.
Marinoff, 19, led going into round three before Phillips snatched the lead for good after slotting a miraculous long-range goal against Carlton to preserve Adelaide's unbeaten record.
It was later recognised as the AFLW Goal of the Year.
Darwin-based vice-captain Ange Foley and ruckman Rhiannon Metcalfe tied for fifth on 81 votes.
Phillips was also named in the forward line in the All Australian team after picking up the sixth-most disposals in the AFLW and placing fifth in the competition goalkicking.
"I've just been in awe from day one of this league and just have so much admiration and I'm just in love with my teammates," she said.
"After the disappointment of Rio (where the Opals suffered a shock Olympic quarter-final exit), I was pretty flat and pretty demotivated.
"But as soon as I walked into this club and (joined) this group of girls; my energy and enthusiasm and joy for sport just went sky-high."
Randall won the Players' Player Award, while Courtney Cramey was the Best Defensive Player and Sarah Perkins the leading goal-kicker.
The Crows' four coaches – Bec Goddard, Andrew Hodges, Mark Moody and Colleen Gwynne – each cast a maximum four votes per player after every game.
