With the off-season rolling through for clubs as their 2023 campaigns come to a close, best and fairest counts will begin to take place.
Across the course of the coming months, all 18 clubs are set to host their very own night of nights to celebrate the season that was and recognise their best player of 2023, among other awards.
Below is each AFL club's best and fairest winner, top vote-getters, and other award winners as they're announced.
North Melbourne
Following a scintillating debut season in blue and white, Harry Sheezel added the 2023 Syd Barker Medal to his Rising Star gong earned earlier in the month.
Sheezel, 18, proved the Roos' most consistent performer from the get-go, earning best and fairest honours with 197 votes, edging out Nick Larkey (173), Bailey Scott (140), Luke Davies-Uniacke (131) and retiring champion Jack Ziebell (112).
On a night in which North Melbourne mourned the passing of their first premiership coach, Ron Barrassi, Sheezel also took out the Roos' Best First Year Player Award, as well as the sponsored Mazda Excellence Award.
With more than 70 goals, runner-up Larkey was also dubbed the Glenn Archer Shinboner of the Year by his peers.
