May have said it the past few years, but this would now be the best final 3 that we've had. Was looking like it'd be a dull field halfway through the season, but they pulled off some good ones down the stretch.


Having both Houghton and Berry in the final 3 is a bit dumb. Pick one, and then have something different for the 3rd choice rather than another snap from the boundary.
 
It's an individual award. Not a team award.
Hawthorn had bugger all players in the AA side from 2013-15 despite having the most potential offence and defence
And that has bugger all to do with what I wrote.

I'd only vote for Breed's mark but I think Scholz edges it narrowly in quality. It's a good year based on those 3.

I'd choose Munyard's goal but I'm not sure how far she ran? I agree that all those listed are way too similar.
 
Surely it has to be Kearns for MOTY and Munyard for GOTY.

All three GOTY contenders were similar shots, but Munyard's included an extra run hugging the boundary line to get past a player as well. And Kearns' mark was the best I've seen in AFLW. Maaaybe Chloe Scheer minutes before doing her ACL in the 2019 GF rivals it.

Edit: No, just went back and watched it and Kearns' was definitely better.
 
Nnnnah it was a nice jump by Kearns but ultimately a chest mark. Scholz grabbed the ball clean with arms fully stretched overhead, took it out of the air from 4+ metres, much higher degree of difficulty.
 
Scholz wins mark of the year IMO.
As for the goal of the year, i don't think any of the goals nominated were the best goal I saw this year, but I'd probably go for Munyard.

GWS coaching staff haven't got a clue, and Parker finishing 4th is the extra proof we didn't need.

Huntington 9 games and Srhoj 8 games this year probably makes for a misleading top 10 as well.

Katherine Smith records her highest finish in a B&F count, her previous best being 4th in 2018 for Melbourne.

4th: Madison Prespakis (Carl, 2021)
4th: Emma Swanson (WCE, 2023)

No real theme with the quality of teams there. Some really good, some really bad, some mediocre.

But definitely a theme with a lot of the players there. That is, they hated their coaches and/or their coaches hated them.
