Voting for the AFLW MVP, Most Courageous, Best First-Year Player and Best Captain awards is a two-stage process, with players nominating their teammates in stage one before selecting from a competition-wide field in stage two.
Players cannot vote for a player from their own club during stage two of the voting process.
Players will be recognised at a bespoke event on the first Monday the 26th of March and then again alongside their male colleagues at the AFL Players’ Association’s MVP Awards in September.
