Adelaide's Ebony Marinoff has secured the prestigious AFLW best and fairest award, surpassing North Melbourne's Ash Riddell in a closely contested vote at Crown Palladium. Marinoff's triumph marks a significant achievement for the Crows midfielder, who garnered 23 votes throughout the season. Meanwhile, both Garner and Riddell, despite missing out on the top prize, remain focused on leading their teams towards grand final victory against Brisbane Lions.
Adelaide’s Ebony Marinoff has won the coveted AFLW best and fairest award, edging out North Melbourne’s Ash Riddell in a thrilling count at Crown Palladium on Monday night.
In 2023, Garner was crowned player of the year by AFLW coaches and was the AFL Players Association most valuable player, but finished seventh in the league’s best and fairest – a surprising result that led to Essenon’s Jess Wuetschner tweeting: “Jas Garner officially invisible.”The 30-year-old finishing has had another stellar season but was again out of contention on Monday evening, finishing with 12 votes.
This is Garner’s second year serving as the All-Australian captain; she was also awarded the honour in 2022.Twelve players received their maiden All-Australian blazers and eight retained their spot in the side from the 21 picked in 2023. In the third quarter of Port’s week seven clash against Collingwood, Scholz charged into a pack, launching off a Pies defender’s shoulder to pull off a spectacular overhead mark – which she converted into a goal.
