In the AFL Women's (AFLW), the Gabrielle Trainor Medal is the name of the award given to the best and fairest player at the Greater Western Sydney Giants during the home-and-away season. The naming of the award is in honour of Gabrielle Trainor, an inaugural Giants board member and member of the AFL Commission known for pioneering the development of women's Australian rules football in New South Wales during her ten years on the AFL NSW/ACT Commission prior to joining the Giants.[1] The award has been awarded annually since the competition's inaugural season in 2017, and Jess Dal Pos was the inaugural winner of the award.[2]
