THURSDAY night will see the Blues' 2023 AFLW Best and Fairest award presented. 

Along with a host of other awards, the night will celebrate the individual and team efforts put in throughout the season, recognising hard work and determination throughout 2023. 

The Game Changers will be celebrated with the following awards:

Best and Fairest Award:

The award reserved for the best-and-fairest player over the course of the season is the Club’s highest individual honour.

Throughout the season, the Senior Coach, along with three assistants, vote for as many players as they feel warrant a vote for each game on the following scale: 

4 votes – outstanding performance

3 votes – excellent performance

2 votes – above expectation performance

1 vote – expected performance (trademark game)

A player can receive a maximum of four votes from four coaches, giving a maximum of 16 possible votes each round.

Rookie of the Year Award:

The best first-year player is awarded to the individual that has had the biggest impact during their first season.

As voted by the coaching group, this player will have influenced performance and standards both on and off the field.

Coaches’ Award: 

Voted by the Senior Coach in conjunction with the entire coaching group, the Coaches’ Award is presented to the player that has the greatest impact on team performance and has also had a positive influence on those around them throughout the course of the season. 

Most Valuable Bluebagger Award:

The Most Valuable Bluebagger award is voted by the players and awarded to the player who lives the club and team values most consistently throughout the season.

The season seven AFLW Best and Fairest, proudly presented by Big Ant, will take place on Friday 25 November.
