Last season, Brisbane's Emily Bates won all three of the AFLW's individual awards; the league best and fairest, the players association MVP, and the coaches association champion player award.
This season, Brisbane won the minor premiership, and Bates again starred, ranking second in the team for disposals, contested possessions, clearances and tackles.
But Bates can see who is coming for her crown: Richmond's best player, Mon Conti. And she wants to shut her down in the finals this weekend.
