CHELSEA RANDALL ERIN PHILLIPS

HEIGHT: 173cm D.O.B: 14.06.91 DEBUT: Rd 1, 2017 RECRUITED FROM: Swan Districts (WA)

The ever-consistent Randall impressed once again in 2019 as she averaged 15 disposals per game and elevated her efficiency to 72 per cent. The dual-premiership captain was rewarded with her third-consecutive All-Australian selection, named vice-captain to teammate Erin Phillips. She was also recognised by her peers and voted the AFLW Players’ Most Courageous player once again. Sadly, Randall tore her ACL last November and will miss the 2020 on-field campaign. Instead, her influence will come from taking on an assistant coaching role in the midfield line.
