AFLW star Erin Phillips will meet with Basketball Australia in the coming weeks as she weighs up the Tokyo Olympics.

The 31-year-old has plenty to consider after she became the No.1 star of the inaugural AFLW season.

Along with co-captaining Adelaide to the premiership, Phillips also won five individual awards.

On Tuesday night she took out the league’s best and fairest award – the women’s equivalent of the Brownlow – to go with her best afield in Saturday’s grand final win, the AFLPA most valuable player award, vice-captaincy of the All-Australian team and goal of the year.

Phillips, wife Tracy Gahan and their twin babies have also become one of the great stories of the first AFLW season and the Crows star paid emotional tribute to Gahan in her medal acceptance speech.

In the next few weeks, they will return to the United States and Phillips will resume playing with WNBA team the Dallas Wings.

Phillips is a two-time WNBA champion, as well as being part of the Australian Opals teams that won silver at the Beijing Olympics and the 2006 world title.

But she was also joint vice-captain of the Opals team that could only manage fifth last year at the Rio Olympics.

“Rio was really, really disappointing … winning gold medals is what we strive to do,” she said.

“I thought this was my big opportunity as vice-captain to help steer the girls to at least a medal.

“To finish fifth, it’s hard to ever get over – I don’t think I will. It definitely fuelled this (AFLW) season.

“Football came at a very good time, because it was a good time to take my focus off basketball and the disappointments of Rio.”

Phillips said she had not retired from the Opals, but is unsure what will come next because all her sporting energies had gone into the AFLW.

“We’ll see – I was really happy to not look past this season.

“I just wanted to enjoy it, because it was an opportunity I didn’t think I was going to have.

“We’ll sit down and address it in a couple of weeks.”

The daughter of Port Adelaide and Collingwood player Greg Phillips grew up living and breathing football, but had to give it up at 13.

The Crows approached Phillips to be play in their first women’s team and she jumped at the chance.

“To be a part of it, to win a flag, to win this medal, it blows my mind really,” she said.
