The AFL off-season has already begun for multiple clubs, and with that comes the awards evening.
The night is a chance to reflect on the year that was and reward players for their efforts, on and off the field.
Here is each AFL club's 2026 Best and Fairest winner, as well as other high vote-getters and award winners from each side.
Melbourne
The greatest ruckman of all time is now a four-time Keith "Bluey" Truscott Memorial Trophy winner, as the Demons' best and fairest player.
Max Gawn beat out fellow podium finishers Kysaiah Pickett and Tom Sparrow to claim the award in a season that saw the Demons climb up the ladder once more, udner first-year coach Steven King.
The gong follows on from his coronation as player with the most All-Australian selections in history, and from a career-best Brownlow Medal return (28 votes, fourth place).
