ADELAIDE superstar Erin Phillips made a stunning return to football in round three of the NAB AFL Women's competition, picking up a perfect 10 in the AFL Coaches Association AFLW Champion Player of the Year award.

After missing the first two games through injury, the reigning AFLW best and fairest winner booted four of the Crows' six goals in the crucial win over the Western Bulldogs.

Melbourne skipper Daisy Pearce shot to the top of the leaderboard after polling nine votes in the Demons' loss to Fremantle.
