THREE DEMONS have been announced as contenders to take out the AFL Players’ Association’s AFLW MVP award for 2022.

Tayla Harris, Lauren Pearce and Tyla Hanks have been nominated for the award, which recognises the best player of the league as voted by their peers.

The award is decided via a two-stage process, beginning with players nominating their teammates in stage one, before selecting from a competition-wide field in stage two. Players cannot vote for a player from their own club during stage two of the voting process.

The AFLPA Awards night also features Captain of the Year, Most Courageous Player and Best First Year Player, with three Demons receiving nominations for these categories.

The AFL Players’ Association will announce the award winners in a special collaboration with Channel 7 program the Front Bar on Wednesday 6 April.
