STAR Fremantle midfielder Kiara Bowers has been crowned the AFLCA AFLW Champion Player of the Year, holding off a late charge from Giant Alyce Parker.

Bowers took an eight-vote lead into the final two rounds, sitting on 57 while Parker was back in the pack on 41, seventh overall.

The Docker did not poll against Melbourne and was awarded five votes against North Melbourne, while Parker romped home with a perfect 10 against Geelong and eight from her game against Carlton.

The final standings saw Bowers win with 62 votes, Parker in second on 59 and last year's winner Jasmine Garner finished third on 57 votes.

Collingwood duo Britt Bonnici (55) and Brianna Davey (53) rounded out the top five.

Curiously, despite making a preliminary final, not one Brisbane player finished in the top 15, such is the even spread of contribution from the team.

Second-year Saint Georgia Patrikios, 20, is the youngest player in the top 15, finishing 10th.

"I'm really proud of Kiara and she is a thoroughly deserving winner of the AFLCA AFLW Champion Player of the Year award," Fremantle coach Trent Cooper said.

"I know all the coaches put a lot of time and thought into who they vote for each week and it was great that opposition coaches recognised the great impact she had on games right across the season.

"From a coach's point of view, she's every coach's dream. Not only is she super talented, but she works extremely hard and sets a great example for her teammates, and then also delivers on whatever the coaches are asking that is best for the team.

"It's a rare person that can combine all of those aspects and we're very lucky to have her at Fremantle."
