Every year there seems to be some sort of strange call made regarding the best and fairest winners. For example, this year Brownlow medallist Lachie Neale wasn't awarded the Merrett-Murray Medal, instead, that honour went to Harris Andrews.
Whilst fans may have an opinion on who they deem to be the best and fairest at a club, the award is often the best judge of a player's qualities as it's decided internally.
We've had a crack at ranking all of this year's 18 club's best and fairest winners based on their 2023 seasons alone. Take a look at the list below.
8. Jack Sinclair
The dashing Saints half-back earned his second All-Australian blazer after yet another great season with his club.
Under new tutelage with the appointment of Ross Lyon, Sinclair was integral in getting his side into finals. Although the side fell short in the elimination final against GWS, the club showed promising signs for the future.
Averaging just shy of 29 disposals per game, Sinclair is the definition of an attacking half-back. The 28-year-old never stops running and is consistently pushing his side forward from the back six.
