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.
12. Noah Anderson
The Gold Coast midfielder followed up his breakout 2022 campaign with a great 2023 season.
Easily the Suns' most consistent player all year, Anderson stood out in the absence of Touk Miller for a fair portion of the season. A Brownlow smokey this year, Anderson finished with 22 votes.
Averaging 26.9 disposals a game, Anderson was always reliable for his side despite once again missing out on finals. The Suns seemed primed for their first-ever finals berth but ultimately missed out.
Expect big things from Anderson in 2024 and hopefully a solid campaign from the entire club.
