CONNOR Rozee's move to the midfield this year has seen him win the John Cahill Medal as Port Adelaide's best and fairest player for the 2022 season.
The 22-year-old was an unsurprising winner after a breakout campaign that earned him a first Therabody AFL All-Australian blazer.
Having started his AFL career in the forward line, Rozee went to a new level this year after being moved into the midfield.
His shift into the centre part-way through Port's round five match against Carlton led to an upswing in the Power's fortunes this year, although he couldn't quite steer them into the finals after they had lost their opening five games of the season.
Rozee was the standout vote-getter on Monday night and finished 30 votes clear of Travis Boak in second spot, while just 11 votes separated Boak from Sam Powell-Pepper in fifth spot.
Rozee also claimed the Coaches' Award as the most improved player while Boak took home the Fos Williams Medal as best team man for the fourth consecutive year and the seventh time overall.
