Ahead of the AFL Players’ Association MVP Awards on Tuesday, September 12, each player from the 18 AFL clubs voted for who they consider their Most Courageous player.

The Robert Rose Most Courageous Award, presented by Australian Almonds, has been awarded annually since 1991, with Collingwood’s Gavin Brown winning the inaugural accolade.

Since then, the award has featured 13 different winners. Former North Melbourne hard man Glenn Archer has been voted the league’s Most Courageous on six occasions, while ex-Swan Paul Kelly has won five times.

Geelong’s Joel Selwood is third with four Most Courageous titles, while former Brisbane champion Jonathan Brown has three.

Last year’s winner Luke Parker became the sixth player to win multiple Robert Rose Most Courageous Awards after winning in 2015 also.
