AFL Coaches Association awards
The AFL Coaches Association awards are a group of awards which have been presented annually since 2003, mainly to players and coaches in the Australian Football League (AFL), voted for by all AFL coaches.
Awarded annually since 2003. Each week, the senior coach of each AFL club gives five votes to the player they consider to be best on ground in the game in which their team plays, four to the second-best, and so on to one for the fifth-best. The player with the most votes at the end of the year wins. The award has different rules to many "best and fairest" awards, as player suspensions are disregarded.
Awarded since 2016. Each week during the finals series, the senior coach of each competing AFL club gives five votes to the player they consider to be best on ground in the game their team plays in, four to the second-best, and so on to one for the fifth-best. The player with the most votes at the end of the finals series wins. The award is named after Gary Ayres, a five-time VFL/AFL premiership player and Australian Football Hall of Fame inductee.
Awarded annually since 2003. Unlike some other "best young player" awards, there is no age or game limit. Awarded to the best player inside the first two seasons of their AFL careers based on the weekly AFLCA Player of the Year votes.
Awarded annually since 2003. At the end of the season, all AFL coaches give three votes to the senior coach they adjudge to have performed the best over that season, two to the second-best, and one to the third-best. The coach with the most votes wins. Chris Fagan is the only coach who has won the award three times. Ken Hinkley, Luke Beveridge, John Longmire, John Worsfold and Mark Thompson have won the award more than once, with two each.
Awarded annually since 2003. At the end of the season, all AFL coaches and players rate their club's assistant coaches out of ten, with ten being the highest score. Assistant coaches' scores are then averaged, and the coach with the highest score wins.
Awarded in 2012 and 2013 and then reintroduced annually from 2022. Based on 50–50 input from both players and coaches, it is awarded to the highest-ranked AFL development coach based on "their overall performance [that] year".
Awarded annually since 2016. Awarded to an AFL coach who is "committed to developing themselves via study and travel".
