Emily Bates has taken out the AFLW best and fairest award, beating Anne Hatchard by a single vote.
Brisbane Lions vice-captain Bates, who was also named AFLCA champion player of the year, was tied with Hatchard with one round of votes to count.
However, Bates earned a maximum three votes from her final round while Hatchard had to settle for second place after earning two votes.
It was Hatchard's fellow Crow Ebony Marinoff who earned the three votes in Adelaide's final game to pip Hayley Miller to third spot.
"I'm just in shock really," Bates said.
"I know my name was being thrown around a little bit but that was a shock to me and this is obviously the greatest honour you could ever achieve."
