Collingwood captain Steph Chiocci is very excited to be playing alongside high profile recruit Brianna Davey in the 2020 season.

Davey made the stunning move from Carlton to the Magpies in the trade period in what was arguably the biggest move of AFLW’s short history.

Chiocci said the star midfielder is “easily” among the game’s best players.

“She’s a phenomenal person first and foremost. Really genuine and has really high expectations of herself and the team,” she told SEN Mornings.

“I’m really looking forward to working with her. She is obviously an elite player, I’d say top five in the league easily, she’s had leadership experience captaining Carlton to a Grand Final and (we're) really stoked to have her on board.

“The impact she has already had throughout our VFLW season is extraordinary and I think the girls are really looking forward to playing alongside her.”

Davey captained Carlton to the 2019 AFLW Grand Final before making the move.

The Pies gave up picks 2, 26, 44 and 59 to land the 24-year-old.
