On Thursday, Cramey and Northern Territory-based midfielder Angela Foley were announced as pre-signed players for the Crows in the 2017 National Women’s League.
It was only fitting that Cramey – the South Australian state women’s captain since 2011 – was the first South Aussie listed by the Crows, while Foley is the team’s inaugural NT signing.
In 2004, she returned to footy when she learned about the South Australian Women’s Football League and hasn’t stopped playing since. Recently, Cramey notched up the 150-game milestone in the SAWFL where she represents two-time reigning premiers, Morphettvillle Park Football Club.
Cramey, or ‘CJ’, made her first state side in 2009 and was selected to play in the previous four AFL Women's Exhibition Matches. She’s an All Australian, and veteran of three national championships as a player, as well as two as a youth girls coach.
A strong leader on and away from the football field, Cramey hoped the National Women’s League would inspire future generations of players.
