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.
5. Errol Gulden
The superstar winger was no doubt the best player for the Swans this year.
At only 21 years old, Gulden established himself as the best winger in the competition. Moving into the midfield when required also, Gulden managed to hit the scoreboard on multiple occasions during the year.
His finals campaign was cut short after losing to the Blues in the elimination final, however, his talents were on full display during the game.
The young winger will no doubt be a star for years to come, a Brownlow could even be in his sights after finishing equal fourth this year.
