Adelaide captain Chelsea Randall spoke after receiving her premiership medal...
“Firstly I just want to thank Melbourne. To Daisy and to (coach) Mick (Stinear) and the players and coaching staff. An unbelievable season. Thanks for today. You guys have gone from just an incredible way. Really well done to you guys.
“To the AFL, to NAB, you guys thank you so much for giving over 400 girls the opportunity to play in an AFLW competition. We’ve had it for six years now. It’s bloody awesome. We love being a part of it. Thank you for providing that option, that opportunity.
“To our Crow sponsors, BHP and the Work Skill, thank you very much for all the support you guys give us and all our other sponsors that are with us. Thank you to our club, to our board members, who continuously text me all the time and wish me luck and all the time and wish me luck and all our players.
“To our coaches, to all our players, to all our support staff, you guys are amazing. To all our men’s players our men’s team, SANFL and AFL, they get behind our girls. We’re so forever grateful. Thank you very much for each and every single individual. Also just thanks to the umpires. Without the umpires we wouldn’t have a game. Thank you very much to you guys. We really appreciate it.
“To our players, gee, this lot here, this good-looking bunch. They’re pretty inspiring bunch. I’m very proud to captain them. We worked so damn hard over the last eight, nine months. I’m so forever proud of each individual. We’ve been on a rollercoaster. You guys really deserve this.
“To our non-player players, they’re premiership players. They deserve all the accolades that the playing players do as well. They’re part of the reason why we’re here today and why we’re standing here. Massive thank you to them.
“And to ‘Doc’ our main man, Matthew Clarke our head coach, you’re one of a kind mate. We love you. Thank you for everything that you do in making us the best version of ourselves.
“Finally to our supporters. You guys rock. We love you. Thank you so much for coming out here today. We really appreciate it. You’ve come in numbers. We love you. Thank you so much.”
