Today, Crows recruit Grace Egan plays her milestone 75th AFLW game.
Egan, 26, made her AFLW debut for Carlton in Round One, 2020, where she earned a Rising Star nomination in her first year, playing 23 games over three seasons before being traded to Richmond ahead of Season Seven in 2022.
In Tigers colours, Egan - a strong-bodied mid-forward - played another 43 games, before being traded to Adelaide in the 2025 Trade Period.
Such has been her influence with the group, Egan was voted into the team’s 2026 leadership group in her first season with Adelaide.
This year, Egan has played all eight games for the Crows so far - making her ninth appearance tonight - in a new role across half-forward.
In the Crows’ No.3 guernsey, Egan has been averaging above her career averages in disposals (18) and marks (4.4).
Ahead of her 75th milestone, AFC Media asked Egan to list the 75 things she has loved about her AFLW career.
