The nominees for the 2022 AFLW Most Valuable Player Awards, proudly presented by Snaffle, will be revealed throughout Monday.
Voting for the AFLW MVP, Most Courageous, Best First-Year Player and Best Captain awards is a two-stage process, with players nominating their teammates in stage one before selecting from a competition-wide field in stage two.
Players cannot vote for a player from their own club during stage two of the voting process.
The AFL Players’ Association will recognise the achievements of the award winners with a special collaboration with Channel 7 program Front Bar on Wednesday April 6.
We thank the following sponsors for their support of the AFLW Most Valuable Player Awards:
Most Valuable Player, proudly presented by Snaffle.
Most Courageous, proudly presented by Our Watch.
Best First-Year Player, proudly presented by KPMG.
Best Captain, proudly presented by The Diamond Guys.
