From winning two Sydney premierships to helping the club secure its maiden AFL South Coast crown in 2020, few have achieved more in the game than the 26-year-old.
But on Saturday, she will reach a milestone that takes her glittering career to new heights - her 100th game for the Figtree (formerly Wollongong) Saints.
"To me, the milestone means that I get to run on the field for the 100th time with the best women's team established," Stanton said.
"The support on and off the field is phenomenal - it really is the best team you could ever play for."
Stanton began her sporting career as a footballer at Waniora Public School, before transitioning into Australian Rules in 2009 with the Figtree youth girls side.
After a brief stint with the Northern District Tigers, Stanton joined the Saints in 2014 and hasn't looked back since.
So much so, Saturday's round five fixture at North Dalton Park against the Wollongong Lions will see the former St Marys student will become the third woman to chalk up the century milestone.
"Joining the likes of Kat Gow and Ellen Crewdson with 100 games in incredible," she said.
"It's a great feeling to reach this milestone with two amazing ladies that are one of the reasons this club has been so successful."
The Saints and Lions game will start at 12.40pm, with other women's premier division matches between Kiama and Northern Districts and Wollongong Bulldogs and Bomaderry beginning at 12.50pm and 1pm respectively.
"It would be an unreal feeling to take home a win to start the celebrations of reaching 100 games," Stanton said.
While in the men's premier division, Figtree travels to North Dalton Park for a 2019 grand final replay with the Lions - starting at 2.20pm.
Elsewhere Kiama plays Norths at Bonaira Oval, from 2.30pm, and the Dogs host Shellharbour at Kiera Oval - with the first bounce at 2.40pm.
