Episode Details

Jade Halfpenny just shattered the field — snagging the 2026 Hostplus SANFLW Best and Fairest with a commanding 27 votes, four ahead of the pack. The 22-year-old Norwood captain dominated every game, led the count since round 11, and delivered four flawless three-vote performances. With nearly 27 disposals, over eight tackles, and six inside fifties per game, she was the engine behind Norwood’s climb — including a monster 41-disposal, eight-clearance, eight-inside-50s outing against West Adelaide. Already a two-time Norwood Best and Fairest winner, this season’s triple crown — Best and Fairest, Kia Coaches Award, and SA Power Networks Leadership Award — cements her as one of the league’s elite. She’s now the second Norwood player ever to claim this honor, following Najwa Allen. Runner-up Isobel Kuiper (Sturt) had 23 votes; Alice Tentye (Woodville-West Torrens) took third. Jade’s journey from Golden Grove in 2017 to AFLW lists with Port Adelaide and Carlton makes this achievement even more legendary.
