Trevor Barker Award
The Trevor Barker Award is an Australian rules football award for the player voted the St Kilda Football Club best and fairest player during the home and away season in the Australian Football League by a voting panel.
It has been awarded since 1914 but has only been known as the Trevor Barker Award since the late 1990s, in honour of former St Kilda player and reserves coach Trevor Barker, who died, aged 39, in April 1996.
Nick Riewoldt has won the most awards with six between 2002 and 2014.[1]
The voting system as of the 2017 AFL season, consists of five coaches giving an undetermined number of players a ranking from one to four after each match. Players can receive a maximum of 20 votes for a game.[2]
