Western Australia has continued to develop and produce some of the best players to grace an AFL field for decades.

With Brownlow medallists, Coleman Medal winners, soon-to-be hall of famers and a seemingly endless list of premiership stalwarts, many out of the WAFL's pathways have gone on to be AFL icons this century alone.

Taking a look back on the best players to come from the WAFL, we've named the greatest player each club has produced for the AFL since the century began.

Here's who we've selected, along with a few honourable mentions for each WAFL club...

1. Claremont

Nat Fyfe

The two-time Brownlow Medal winner narrowly edges out cross-town champion Jeremy McGovern, with both players having exceptional CVs and decorated careers to date.

Fyfe, a product of Lake Grace, was drafted out for Claremont with the 20th overall pick in 2009 and managed to have a quick rise at Fremantle - winning the AFLCA's Best Young Player of the Year in his second season.

He would take out his first of three Doig Medals in 2013 and, within the next two years, had a further best and fairest crown, two AFLPA MVP gongs, two All-Australian selections and his maiden Brownlow Medal.

Fyfe would also captain the Dockers from 2017 and had arguably his career-best year two years later to claim his second Brownlow and captain the All-Australian side.

McGovern, a five-time All-Australian - 2024 included - is stiff to fall short, with premiership teammate Tom Barrass, reigning Coleman Medal winner Jesse Hogan and Brownlow Medal winner Tom Mitchell also among the best out of the Tigers.
