Twelve outright A Grade club best and fairests were recognised in season 2026.
For the second consecutive year, a premiership captain has claimed her club’s best and fairest award ahead of a teammate who won the prestigious Margaret Webb Medal.
East Geelong’s Maddie Solly edged out Claudia Cook in 2026, mirroring the previous season when Belmont Lions co-captain Angelique Ross finished ahead of Molly Gribble at club level.
Gribble went one better this year, claiming the Lions’ top honour and becoming one of the few players in league history to win club best and fairest awards at two different clubs, having previously achieved the feat at Corio in 2024.
After claiming two GDFNL B Grade league best and fairest awards, North Geelong’s Cody Dixon made a successful return to A Grade by taking out her club’s top individual honour.
Geelong West’s Kathryn Eastman also celebrated an impressive A Grade best and fairest victory despite playing a limited number of games.
MEANWHILE Thomson’s Bree Caldwell capped off a memorable season by claiming her club’s A Grade award just months after receiving the Justine Radford Medal against the CDFNL.
