Cork legend Bríd Stack is also in the running for an AFL Players’ Association gong; Staunton’s Giants team-mate nominated for Most Courageous Player after her impressive debut season. Just like Staunton and O’Dwyer, who were both electric throughout; the former recording a remarkable 18-goal haul and the latter the definition of consistency.Three players from each team have been nominated for the AFLW MVP award and one each for Most Courageous, Best First-Year Player and Best Captain, with voting a two-stage process. Players nominate their team-mates in stage one, before selecting from a competition-wide field in stage two.

This will be whittled down to 21 players, forming the equivalent of the All-Stars team here, which will be announced at tomorrow’s W Awards in Melbourne.
