Despite this, and the fact she was a few months shy of 32 when the season started" (Source: Erin Phillips's AFLW success due to mix of fitness, fierceness, strength, smarts and athleticism), and "Crows star judged the best player in competition's inaugural season" (Source: Simply the best: Phillips named AFLW finest)- ALT1: ... that Erin Phillips won the inaugural AFL Women's best and fairest award during 2017 in her first season back at age 31 after not playing Australian rules football competitively since she was 13 years old?

This hook seems to be misleading: reading that hook, I would imagine that she stopped playing in 2000 and then won the award post-career in 2017. What she actually did was not compete for 17 years (1999-2016), did compete in the 2017 season, and won the award that season. Also, probably easier to link to AFL Women's best and fairest rather than AFL Women's and Best and fairest separately. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:17, 23 April 2020 (UTC)- Will do the rest of the review nevertheless:
Article is long enough (41k characters), is a GA, nominated in time (GA on 9 April, nominated on 12 April) and article is within policy- QPQ exempt as 0 previous nominations
This is a really interesting article, only issue that needs to be fixed is the hook. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:22, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, Joseph2302. I think I see what you mean. I added an updated version above. (Apologies if the comments are in the wrong place.) Sportsfan77777 (talk) 21:12, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
