MVP Nominees: Adelaide – GWS Giants

The AFL Players’ Association MVP Award nominees for 2020 have been revealed. Three awards – Most Courageous, Best Captain and Best First Year – will be announced in line with #22Under22 on September 22, while the MVP Award, presented by Torrens University, will be announced on September 24.

The nomination for the MVP Award is a two-stage process. The first involves players nominating three teammates for the award, before three nominees from every club are presented to the wider playing group for a vote to decide the winner. Players cannot vote for their own teammates in stage two of the process.
