The AFL off-season comes with best and fairest awards to reflect on and reward the best club players from all 18 sides.
As the top eight embark on a finals series, the bottom 10 will look to commemorate and reflect on the year that was, beginning with their awards nights throughout the coming weeks.
Here is each AFL club's 2025 best and fairest winner, as well as other high vote-getters and award winners from each side.
Melbourne
Max Gawn has claimed his third Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Memorial Trophy, dominating the voting to notch the award by over 100 points.
The other two superstars in the Demons' premiership trio rounded out the top three, with Christian Petracca pipping first-time All-Australian Kysaiah Pickett for second place by 12 votes.
Jake Bowey's quiet leap was rewarded with a top five finish after the defender averaged a career-high 22.6 disposals and 5.2 marks per game, while rookie Harvey Langford snuck into the top 10 following his rising-star-calibre campaign, polling 318 votes for ninth place.
Jake Melksham was rewarded with the James McDonald Trophy (Trademark Player award) while Tom Campbell's commitment to the club as its back-up ruckman saw him receive the Ian Ridley Memorial Trophy (Club Ambassador award) in addition to his contract extension for the 2026 season earlier in the week.
Harvey Langford unsurprisingly claimed the club's Best Young Player trophy while Kade Chandler took to the stage to claim the Leadership Award.
