Georgie Prespakis has finished third in the competition's coaches votes after a standout season in Geelong's midfield.

The 22-year-old finished on the podium behind minor premier North Melbourne stars Ash Riddell and Jasmine Garner in the tally, polling in all but two games for 2025 in the AFL Coaches Association AFLW Champion Player of the Year.

Garner pipped Prespakis (84 votes) by a single vote, with Riddell claiming the honour (100 votes) in a season where she broke the all-time disposal record.

Prespakis picked up maximum votes in four of her 12 performances, including the final two rounds of the home-and-away season.

She was best in the coaches' eyes in an additional three games, twice more in second, and polled in each of the Cats' five wins.

Prespakis sat second behind Riddell, with two votes separating the pair, with an 11 vote margin ahead of then-third Melbourne's Tyla Hanks at the mid-way point of the season.

Geelong missed finals, finishing in 13th spot, compared to Riddell and Garner's North going without loss on their way setting the all-time record of 14 straight victories across VFL/AFL and AFLW history.

In her fifth campaign, Prespakis finished eighth in the competition for average disposals at 26 touches and led the competition for clearances per game with 6.8 per outing.

She also stuck six tackles on average, with an uptick in most stat areas.

Prespakis is 53 games into her career.

She claimed Geelong's best-and-fairest in 2023.
