With eight rounds of football officially in the books for the 2023 AFL season, plenty of players have made their mark on the competition already.
Young Pie Nick Daicos has emerged as a Brownlow favourite in just his second season and looks to be topping Collingwood's best and fairest count, while plenty of others have had standout seasons for their clubs.
After nearly two months of footy, we've taken a look at where each club's best and fairest count stands, naming the favourites for the award so far, with part three of the series covering Port Adelaide through to the Western Bulldogs.

4. Sydney
Last year's grand finalists started the season well with two easy kills against Gold Coast and Hawthorn, but have since fallen off a cliff with drastic injury woes and poor late game execution.
Their most important player this season has proven to be Dane Rampe, given their perpetual struggles with him out of the lineup. With only four matches under his belt this season, he won't be reeling in any end-of-season honours at this stage.
Errol Gulden is probably leading the charge after improving from his breakout season last year. He was extraordinary against Collingwood on Sunday with 37 disposals and 13 marks and will hopefully only get better as Sydney progress through the season. He has stood up in every game with only one notably poor performance in a 97-point beat-up at the hands of Geelong.
Jake Lloyd is one of the few others who have improved from last year at the Swans; his 24 disposals at over 88% efficiency has been valuable out of defence. Besides he, Gulden and Oliver Florent, few Swans can claim they have undoubtedly improved from last season.
Callum Mills, Chad Warner, Luke Parker and Tom Papley, have all been elite in patches and solid overall, but should be looking to increase their production through the next few weeks.
