“I’m doing a running session and thinking about Erin Phillips, [thinking], ‘Will she give up now? No, she won’t.'”
Bates was one of the favorites to take the award after being named the AFL Coaches Association (AFLCA) Player of the Year, and after a season in which he averaged 21 disposals, 10 contested positions, five clearances and six tackles a game.
Nonetheless, the 26-year-old, who won the count by a single vote over Crow Anne Hatchard, said her victory came as a real shock.

Bates, a star midfielder, surprised spectators that coach Craig Starcevich promised he would “shoe” him if he was named the best player of the competition.
Sure enough, Starsevich, seated in the crowd, untied his black shoe, filled the shoes with juice and slid down to the delight of the Brisbane table and cheering crowd.
