WHO will it be in 2023? 

Last year saw Captain Patrick Cripps take home his fourth John Nicholls Medal, becoming just the third Blue to win the Club's top award four or more times. 

With 181 votes, Cripps narrowly edged clear of Sam Docherty (173) and Sam Walsh (163) in what was a thrilling finish to proceedings for the night.

The race for this year's honours has well and truly tightened up, with several Blues in contention for the Best and Fairest.

This year's event will be held on Sunday 8 October at The Crown Palladium, with new packages now on sale. 

While tickets for the main room have now sold out, the Club has released tickets for a new experience in the River Room. 

The River Room experience will feature a livestream of the count, in-room interviews with players from the 2023 team and assistant coaches as well as an exclusive in-room interview with the winner of the 2023 John Nicholls Medal.

Tickets for the River Room are extremely limited and selling quickly. Click here for more information and to secure yours today.
