Fremantle

Dockers star Caleb Serong has claimed his second Doig Medal in as many years to cap off a sensational season in purple with Fremantle.

The Victorian won the club's best and fairest to follow up his maiden gong from last year, joining Peter Bell, Matthew Pavlich and Nat Fyfe as the only Fremantle players to win back-to-back honours - Fyfe being the most recent, having done so a decade ago.

Serong edged out teammate Andrew Brayshaw by nine votes to win the award, with Brayshaw making it successive second-place finishes following his maiden best and fairest win in 2022.

Fellow midfielder Hayden Young rounds out the podium, while breakout forward Josh Treacy, reliable attacker Sam Switkowki and defender Jordan Clark also feature in the top five for votes.

Collins, who was named in the All-Australian squad for the first time this year, polled 68 votes to take out the club honour ahead of fellow defender Bodhi Uwland, who had 56 votes.

Breakout utility Sam Flanders (55) rounded out the podium, with Matt Rowell (54), Noah Anderson (50) and Mac Andrew (49) trailing.

The award for Collins sees him add to his 2020 Club Champion title, with this year proving to be a career-best for the senior Suns backman.

Hawthorn

North Melbourne

North Melbourne midfielder Luke Davies-Uniacke has claimed his first club best & fairest, narrowly edging out Tristan Xerri by 13 votes, following stellar campaigns from both.

Picked by most to be the clear favourite to take out the Syd Barker Medal, young gun Harry Sheezel surprisingly fell to third, though with a large gap separating the podium-pollers.

Fellow young shinboners Paul Curtis and Tom Powell were recognised for their 2024 efforts, breaking out into critical Kangas with some x-factor ability and midfield strength respectively.

The major breakout story came from tall utility Charlie Comben, who polled an impressive 126 votes for a seventh-place finish, intercepting down back and clunking marks up forward in his career best season.

Young Jackson Archer would be thrilled with a top 10 finish, taking his time to become a mainstay down back but emerging in the back half of the season.

Top 10:
1st: Luke Davies-Uniacke (242 votes)
2nd: Tristan Xerri (229)
3rd: Harry Sheezel (212)
4th: Paul Curtis (140)
