The 2025 AFL Awards saw a variety of winners place their names among the history books, with Collingwood's Nick Daicos picking up the coveted Leigh Matthews MVP award as well as a third All-Australian Blazer.

Geelong's Bailey Smith and Gold Coast's Noah Anderson shared the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year, while Adelaide's Jordan Dawson was named best captain among his peers.

Melbourne's Max Gawn won a record-equalling eighth All-Australian blazer, while Bulldogs champion Marcus Bontempelli ticked off his seventh.

There was 11 first-timers in the All-Australian final 22.

Geelong forward Jeremy Cameron was officially awarded this year's Coleman Medal after booting 83 goals for the year. It is his second medallion, claiming his first as a Giant in 2019.

Cameron was also appointed the AA captain.

Cats awards didn't end there as Shaun Mannagh was rewarded with the AFLCA Best Young Player, as Fremantle's Murphy Reid won the equivalent trophy, albeit decided by the AFLPA.
