Geelong midfielder Nina Morrison has claimed her first club best and fairest award, capping off a strong 2024 season.
Morrison was a mainstay for an injury-depleted Geelong midfield this year, averaging 20.8 disposals, 7.1 tackles and 3.9 clearances a game.
It is the first time Morrison has claimed the most prestigious award at the Cats, after finishing runner-up in 2023 and third in 2022 season seven.
Each match the head coach and three line coaches award a 5-4-3-2-1 rating for the best five players of their estimations. These ratings are then added, meaning the most votes a player can receive each round is 20.

STAR Suns midfielder Charlie Rowbottom has claimed her second club best and fairest award in the past three seasons after a scintillating campaign.
Rowbottom polled 313 votes to claim the award, ahead of young gun Daisy D’Arcy and the dashing Niamh McLaughlin (258), who tied in second place.
The 21-year-old played all 11 matches in 2024, leading the competition for clearances (68) and contested possessions (195) as she continued to stamp her authority as one of the games biggest stars.
It was the fourth consecutive time Rowbottom has finished in the top two of the club best and fairest after debuting in 2022.
The Club Champion Award was voted on by the coaching panel, with the head coach and three assistants assigning each player a score from one to 10 based on their efforts of each game. The maximum votes a player can receive per match is 40.

IT'S SAFE to say captaincy suits Rebecca Beeson, taking out the Gabrielle Trainor Medal as Greater Western Sydney's best and fairest for the 2024 season.
The 27-year-old thrived in her first season in the role, back to full fitness after a series of debilitating and serious concussions in the past few years.
She also took out the cherished Jacinda Barclay Fearless Award, voted on by the players after each match, recognising team values and playing in a "selfless and fearless fashion".
Beeson polled 41 votes to win from the dynamic Zarlie Goldsworthy (35) and vice-captain Katherine Smith (31).
Perennial poller Alyce Parker and first-year Irish ruck Eilish O'Dowd rounded out the top five with 30 votes each.
Votes are awarded by senior coach Cam Bernasconi, with input from his assistant coaching panel. Bernasconi awards 1-6 votes to as many players "as he sees fit" after each game. With 11 games this year, a perfect season would see 66 votes awarded.
