With the 2026 AFL season entering its final stages, the race for each club's best-and-fairest award is beginning to take shape.
The club champion award is internal recognition of players and their impact across a season.
From established superstars chasing another club champion gong to emerging guns pushing their way into contention, we've taken a look at every team and predicted who will win their club's 2026 best-and-fairest.
As well as naming a top-five smoky.
Sydney
Brodie Grundy
There's a host of Swans who could take out the Bob Skilton Medal, but ruckman Grundy could add to his silverware cabinet.
Isaac Heeney and Chad Warner will be nipping at his heels, with all three worthy winners of the award.
The former Pie is pushing for another All-Australian blazer, and with Dean Cox in the hot seat, a ruckman himself, maybe Grundy is favoured.
James Rowbottom's selfless role could be recognised internally by the vote-givers. He's played in multiple positions on the ground and has performed at a high level, assisting his star teammates.
