NORTH Melbourne champion Jasmine Garner has been crowned the AFLW's best player by the League's coaches for the second year in a row.

Garner finished the home-and-away season with 81 votes in the AFL Coaches' Association Champion Player Award, seven ahead of Sydney's Laura Gardiner (74) and well clear of Brisbane's Ally Anderson, who finished third on 65 votes.

It's the third time Garner has won the award following her triumphs in 2020 and 2022. She is the only multiple winner of the award.

At the end of each game during the home-and-away season, the coaches of both teams gives votes in a 5-4-3-2-1 format to who they believe are the best players on the ground. The maximum a player can get in a game is 10 votes, five from each coach.

Garner got the maximum 10 votes on five occasions, which is half of the games she played, and polled in all 10 games during the season.

"We feel so lucky to have Jas at our club and to have had a front-row seat to another outstanding season by her," North coach Darren Crocker said.

"She is a special player, and to win this award for a third time is great recognition of her constant drive to get better and be the best she can be for the team."
