2019 NFNL Best and Fairest Awards

All the results from the 2019 Rosbrook Medal Night.

Greensborough midfielder Tom Bell claimed the Frank Rosbrook Medal as the best and fairest player in Meadows Greyhounds Division 1.

Bell joined the Boro this season after playing 72 AFL games across seven seasons with Carlton and the Brisbane Lions.

He became the first Greensborough player to win a senior football best and fairest award since teammates Neil Brindley and Peter Mastin shared the 1991 award with Montmorency’s Peter Woodward.

Bell’s efforts throughout the course of the season helped guide Greensborough to a first-place finish on the ladder, before securing a place in the Meadows Greyhounds Division 1 Grand Final for the first time since 2015.

History was made in A Plus Labour Solutions Division 2, with a three-way tie recorded for the first time since the competition’s introduction in 1981.

Whittlesea premiership hero Xavier Dimasi, Banyule young gun Riley Loton and Eltham midfielder Brent Macaffer shared the award on 14 votes – with just two votes separating the top-five vote winners.

The award capped a huge week for Dimasi, who was also best afield in Whittlesea’s grand final win over Banyule on Saturday. Loton became the first Banyule player to win a senior best and fairest in the NFNL, while Macaffer improved on last year’s third-place finish.

Heidelberg West ruckman Jarryd Coulson became just the third player in league history behind John Elliot and Matty Dennis to win three senior best and fairest awards – taking out the Heidelberg Golf Club Division 3 best and fairest for the third year in a row.

In doing so, the Hawks skipper joined Elliot as the only players to have won three-successive senior best and fairest awards.

Montmorency’s Nicole Blythe won the ANZ Division 1 Women’s best and fairest. It was her second competition best and fairest after taking out the Division 2 award in 2017.

South Morang midfielder Demi Hallett took out the MC Security Division 2 Women’s best and fairest, while Belinda Harris won the Mirvac Division 3 best and fairest after starring in Hurstbridge’s inaugural campaign in the competition.

Diamond Creek legend Stacey Gannon created even more history by winning her fourth Section 1 netball best and fairest just weeks after helping the Creekers to their tenth-successive premiership win. Gannon shared this year’s award with Fitzroy Stars defender Jessica Bamblett.

Other netball best and fairest award winners were Shannon Tresider (Section 2); Keelin Galvin (Section 3); Kylie Yelland (Section 4), Daina Peet (Section 5), Kristy Nunn (Section 6), Tayla Hardiman (Section 7), Olivia Betts (Section 8), Bianca Clamp (Section 9), Michelle Soon (Section 10), Alana Nackovski (Section 11) and Rebecca Dighton (Section 12).

Sam Gilmore became the first Heidelberg player to win the Division 1 Coaches MVP. Meanwhile Brent Macaffer (Division 2) and Mitchell Thompson (Division 3) each won their respective competition’s Coaches MVP for the second-consecutive year.

Darebin’s Tamara Olcorn took out the Division 1 Women’s Coaches MVP. Demi Hallett doubled up to take out both the Division 2 women’s best and fairest and Coaches MVP, while Greensborough premiership player Lauren Collis won the Division 3 award.

Kilmore was named the 2019 Senior Club of the Year, Phillip Pettinella was awarded Senior Umpire of the Year, Renee Shannon the Netball Umpire of the Year, while Whittlesea stalwart Rod Luscombe was named the Volunteer of the Year award.

The AFL Victoria Northern Region Senior Coach of the Year Awards were presented to Greensborough coach Mick Harford and VU Western Spurs Division 1 premiership coach Christina Polatajko.
