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.
14. Jacob Weitering
Carlton's rock down back had another phenomenal season for the club.
Although big-name players Sam Walsh, Adam Cerra and Patrick Cripps had great seasons, Weitering's leadership was outstanding throughout the year.
Helping his side to their first finals series in a decade, the 26-year-old was a defensive wall for the Blues.
Racking up the most intercept marks in his career, Weitering was amongst the best defenders in the competition.
