Adelaide premiership hero Erin Phillips could win her third individual AFL women’s award in four days.

After winning the AFL Players Association most valuable player award, the Crows co-captain is the favourite for the league’s best and fairest honour – the women’s equivalent of the Brownlow.

The AFL awards for the inaugural women’s season will be announced on Tuesday night at a black tie function in Melbourne.

Phillips also was named best afield after Saturday’s grand final win over Brisbane.

The Olympic basketballer convincingly won that award and the players association MVP.

She polled 204 votes for the MVP, with Melbourne onballer Karen Paxman next on 149 and Carlton forward Darcy Vescio third with 132.

“To be recognised by your peers is something all athletes hold in high esteem and this is something I will hold very close to my heart for a long time,” Phillips said.

“I’m so proud of what we, as AFLW players, have been able to achieve over the past eight weeks and look forward to what the future holds for all of us as players and aspiring female footballers right across Australia.”

The women’s rising star award will also be announced on Tuesday night, as will the final All-Australian team.

Phillips, who won a silver medal with the Opals at the Beijing Olympics, will soon return to basketball with WNBA club the Dallas Wings.

In other players association awards, Phillips’ fellow Crows captain Chelsea Randall was named the most courageous player.

Melbourne’s Daisy Pearce won the best captain award ahead of Phillips and Brisbane’s Emma Zielke.
