Reigning AFLW best-and-fairest Ally Anderson bolstering her chance of going back-to-back in the league's top honour after a blistering patch of form heading into this year's finals series.

The Gangulu/Waka Waka midfielder shaved off more of the now slim tally separating herself and Kangaroos' gun Jasmine Gerner in the Coaches Association Champion Player after another dominant Indigenous round performance against Adelaide on Saturday.

It backed up her QClash medal performance for best on ground, leading Brisbane to a 36-point win over Gold Coast in round seven.

While the coaches points don't count towards the league's in-house tally for the season's best player, her stretch of form forecasts a strong showing in the best-and-fairest count in a few week's time.

It's rarely an indicator, with Anderson finishing 11th and 25 points behind Season 7 winner - Garner, despite being crowned the AFLW's best in grand final week last November.

Points are awarded by the two senior coaches of a match, rather than umpires.

Still, Anderson's numbers in 2023 are hard to go past.

Since round two, where she collected 36 touches, the 29-year-old is averaging over 28 disposals having polled coaches votes in every game since; including four-consecutive game-high tallies.

After two perfect 10-point returns in as many weeks, Anderson trails Garner by a narrow 61-57 with two games remaining.

Across the competition, Anderson sits fifth for disposals overall, eighth for effective disposals given and tenth for effective kicks taken.

Lions teammate Dakota Davidson currently sits eighth on the AFLW goal tally and plucked the second most marks across the league.

The club are shaping as contenders yet again sitting in fourth spot behind Melbourne, the Kangaroos and Adelaide at the pointy end of the season.
