Just like another No. 35 who wore the red, white and black, Cat Phillips become renowned across the AFLW for elite endurance and running power.

The former Demon joined St Kilda’s ranks prior to its maiden season at the elite level, making history after being inducted as co-captain of the club alongside Kate Shierlaw and Rhi Watt.

In-house, the Ultimate Frisbee champion was highly regarded for her elite professionalism and workhorse-like ethic on the training track.

Combined with her leadership and experience, Phillips filled the role as a leader of the club’s standards, pushing the young group to reach their best.

The hardworking Saint averaged a career-high 12 disposals through the midfield and across half-back in Season 2020, with her output never dipping across her six games for the year.

Phillips was again elected as co-captain of the club heading into Season 2021 alongside Rhi Watt, Kate Shierlaw and new inclusion Hannah Priest.
