The NFNL Match of the Day is broadcast on 88.6 Plenty Valley FM each weekend and this year covered 30 games from the senior men’s and women’s competitions.
Highlights included covering Laurimar’s inaugural senior game, Brent Harvey’s debut for North Heidelberg, the annual Greensborough vs Eltham Good Friday match, the NFL vs WRFL clash in the AFL Victoria Community Championships, both NFLW grand finals and matches on both Saturday and Sunday during the senior men’s finals series.
The NFNL Facebook page was recognised for continuing to provide comprehensive coverage of the Northern Football Netball League across a range of mediums throughout the season.
All senior men’s grand finals, the NFLW Division 1 grand final, the NFL v WRFL representative games and key events such as the 2017 Best and Fairest Awards and Season Launch were streamed live on the Facebook page for the first time this year.
Photographer Nathan McNeil was nominated in both photography categories after another fantastic season behind the lens.
Meanwhile, Division 1 scribe Samuel Zito received a nomination for Best Football Column (Football Record) for the weekly Meadows Greyhounds Division 1 Preview.
