Sydney midfielder Josh Kennedy has continued his amazing record in the AFL club's best and fairest award by winning the Bob Skilton Medal for the third time.
Kennedy polled a club record 922 votes to clinch back-to-back medals and shade midfield colleague Dan Hannebery (913) and key defender Heath Grundy (865).
Brownlow Medal runner-up Luke Parker (834) won a tight battle for fourth ahead of two other All-Australian representatives Dane Rampe (833) and Lance Franklin (827).
It was Kennedy's seventh top-three finish in the count in as many seasons with Sydney.
He tallied the most contested possessions and clearances of any AFL player in 2016 and finished second in total disposals behind Hannebery.
