EBONY Marinoff has capped off a career-best season with her maiden AFL Coaches Association AFLW Champion Player of the Year award.

The Adelaide co-captain is the third Crow to have been recognised in eight seasons (there was no count in 2017), following in the footsteps of club champions Chelsea Randall (2018) and Erin Phillips (2019).

Marinoff polled five votes against Geelong in the final round of the season to secure a 12-vote lead over second-placed Jasmine Garner, who has won the past two counts.

The Crow held a nine-vote lead over Ash Riddell before an embargo was put on the final three weeks of voting. Riddell polled 15 of 30 votes to finish the year, slipping further behind Marinoff and Garner (20 votes each) to end third, Marinoff sealing the win before the final round. 

Perennial poller Ally Anderson finished fourth, with Eliza West's move to Hawthorn having paid off in spades, securing fifth spot in her first season at her new club.

Fremantle star ruck Mim Strom was the only non-inside midfielder to finish in the top 10.

Marinoff is now strong favourite to take out the AFLW best and fairest award, which will be announced on November 25.

She averaged 30.4 disposals, 12.4 tackles and 6.5 clearances in the home and away season, kicking three goals in her 11 games.

"Ebony has performed to an incredibly high level this season to win her first AFLCA AFLW Champion Player of the Year Award. To poll votes in every match and three perfect 10s is an amazing effort," AFLCA CEO Alistair Nicholson said.

"The coaches have a unique perspective on what succeeds in each of the games, which combined with the thought that goes into allocating the votes, makes this one of the most prestigious of all the individual awards."
