But in a premiership year, that came with a whole bunch more individual awards, including an All-Australian blazer for the seventh time and captain of the side again, and a best on ground medal in the grand final to go with her premiership medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She however did not win the league\u2019s best and fairest award, in a snubbing that continues to confuse many in the AFLW community. In 2024 she dramatically did not poll even a single vote until the fifth week of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite starting her career as a forward \u2013 even kicking the first ever goal in the AFLW back in 2017 \u2013 in recent years Garner has become a just about unstoppable midfielder, teaming up with Riddell and more recently King to establish an inside midfield crew that is the nightmare of the rest of the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way that seems to work to stop Garner is playing an active tagging role, which Brisbane has done with <strong>Bre Koenen <\/strong>and Melbourne with<strong> Shelley Heath<\/strong> in recent seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dc-block-dc-mention _dc_mention\"><div class=\"section-heading_wrap\"><span class=\"section-heading is-small\">Mentions<\/span><span class=\"hor-border\"><\/span><\/div><ul class=\"js-overflow-list overflow-list\"><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/jasmine-garner\/\">Jasmine Garner<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"js-dropdown dropdown overflowed\"><button class=\"btn btn-icon-only\"><span class=\"icon btn-icon\">\n                    <!-- icon - plus circle - 20px-->\n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n                        <path d=\"M15,9.28h-4.3V5h0A.72.72,0,1,0,9.28,5h0V9.28H5a.72.72,0,0,0,0,1.43H9.28V15a.72.72,0,0,0,1.43,0h0V10.71H15a.72.72,0,0,0,0-1.43Z\"\/>\n                        <path d=\"M10,0A10,10,0,1,0,20,10,10,10,0,0,0,10,0Zm0,18.57A8.57,8.57,0,0,1,10,1.43h0a8.57,8.57,0,0,1,0,17.14Z\"\/>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/span><\/button><div class=\"popover\"><div class=\"popover-content\"><ul class=\"popover-menu\"><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AS the AFL Women\u2019s season starts to wind down, clubs are starting to award their club best and fairest awards, recognising the stars of the season.
