Club Champions
The Crows Club Champion award is earned by the season’s best and fairest AFL player. Over the years the voting methods have changed at various times with coaching staff and match committee members involved in ranking the players and casting votes match by match. Regardless of the method used, invariably the award goes to the most deserving player for that particular year.
The overall winner is awarded the traditional and coveted Gold Jacket of Club Champion, and since 1999 been presented with the Malcolm Blight Medal and recognised as the Malcolm Blight Medallist.
