Sydney Swans midfielder Errol Gulden has claimed his fourth Kirk-Ward Medal in Sydney's 51-point win over GWS at Engie Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Gulden (8 votes) finished ahead of teammates Brodie Grundy (7 votes) and Chad Warner (3 votes).
Gulden produced a masterclass in the midfield finishing with 41 disposals, seven clearances, and a staggering 1045 metres gained, becoming the first Swans player to ever record over 1000m gained in a game.
The Sydney Derby specialist's fourth medal moved him into second outright since the medal's inception, having won the medal in 2023, in both Derby matches in 2024 and in tonight's 33rd edition of the Derby. The 24-year old now sits just one medal behind Luke Parker's record of 5.
