Adelaide Crows star Erin Phillips will miss Saturday’s clash with North Melbourne after she was withdrawn from the side due to soreness.
The 34-year-old played her first game since injuring her ACL in last year’s grand final win over Carlton, as the Crows lost to the Blues last week.

Yet, Adelaide’s general manager of football administration Phil Harper said there’s no issues with the star’s reconstructed knee despite her pulling up sore from training on Thursday evening.
“Erin’s knee is structurally sound, but her body was sore after her first game back following her 11-month knee rehabilitation,” he said.
“Unfortunately, the six-day turnaround wasn’t long enough to allow her body to be 100 per cent for this round.”
Draftee Jaimi Tabb has been called in to replacing the reigning AFLW best and fairest, for just her second game.
The Crows take on the Kangaroos at 2.40pm on Saturday.
