Best & Fairest – Andy Hodgson.

Despite being a more than capable midfielder, Andy Hodgson spent the majority of the season holding down the key centre half back position and did so with rebounding élan. Andy’s marking and dash was pivotal to the integrity of the backline and the Best and Fairest award is testament to the consistency of his effort and impact this season.

Runner- Up Best & Fairest – Michael Troy.

Michael Troy has been an inspiring contributor to the team since joining from Bulleen last season with extraordinary ball winning in contests and the ability to find time and space and to provide run and carry. In several matches Michael’s efforts were instrumental in forging a team victory, as he imposed himself on the game and won contests through force of will and determination.

3rd Best & Fairest – Adam Poulton.

Adam Poulton took out third place in the Best and Fairest in another close call with four or five players separated by a small margin. Adam had an injury plagued season this year but he refused to let his body restrict his efforts and continued to give his all for the team and so this award is a great acknowledgement of his willpower and desire to contribute to the team.

Most Improved – Alastair Dickson
The Most Improved award winner the 2009 season is Al Dickson who completed a commendable and consistent season of sustained improvement. Spending the majority of the year in the backline Al became the one on one king who totally nullified small forwards. His significantly improved training demeanour and focus on match day were a reflection of the growing maturity of Al as a footballer and team player.

Coach’s Award –Xavier Troy.

Xavier Troy takes the Coach award for the 2009 season. Xavier fearlessly takes on responsibilities in this team, like the kick out duties, and does so with skill and intuitive nous. Xavier has the flair and will to play closer to the ball, but his contribution as a virtual captain of the backline and leading rebounder has been very important to the team over the past two seasons. His selfless clubman attitude epitomises the characteristics that every coach values and every team needs.
