The curtain officially fell on the AFLW season on Tuesday night, with the W Awards a celebration of the year that was.
The night was filled with highlights. Brisbane captain Emma Zielke’s hoarse voice after days of Grand Final celebrations was a notable one.
It culminated with the crowning of both Collingwood captain Brianna Davey and Fremantle star Kiara Bowers as dual league best and fairests.
A fitting ending given the two were comfortably the most impactful players of the 2021 season.
Davey polled five consecutive best on grounds to get to 15 votes, while Bowers’ consistency saw her picking up votes across the count.
