Ongoing concussion issues have forced one of the AFLW's most decorated players, Adelaide's Chelsea Randall, to retire.
Randall, a five-time All Australian and triple premiership captain, continues to experience problems stemming from multiple concussions.
The 35-year-old, who captained the Crows for eights seasons, says she's saddened to retire but made the decision with her health and family front of mind.
"I will miss the immense joy that playing gave me," Randall said in a statement on Monday.
"I'll miss competing at the highest level, I'll miss sharing the game with my teammates and playing in front of our members and supporters.
"I am incredibly grateful to the Adelaide Football Club ... I am also so grateful to the AFLW competition as a whole.
"To have been part of its growth from the very beginning has been an honour and one of the great privileges of my life."
West Australian-born Randall was an inaugural member of the Crows in the AFLW's first season in 2017 and fast became renowned for her tenacious playing style.
Randall won the AFLW's most courageous player a record six times and was also the AFL Coaches Association's champion player of the year in 2017.
Randall's stellar playing status led to her to being appointed a development coach for Adelaide's AFL men's side in 2022.
The Crows' AFLW general manager Bree Brock hailed Randall's contribution to the club.
"Chelsea's trailblazing role in growing the game across our state, as well as her lasting influence, should never be underestimated," Brock said.
"Her decorated AFLW career stands as a testament to the courage, resilience and elite ability with which she played every moment."
