First team captain Marius Williams edged out Mitchell Speechley-Price for best-and-fairest for the division one men’s side, while goalkeeper Lachlan McDonald claimed the coach’s and player’s player awards.

Williams had a tremendous season and was pivotal in helping shore up the Roar defence, which at one stage went more than six hours without conceding a goal in the back stretch of the season.

Division two women’s top goal-scorer Jess Gannaway was also named her side’s best-and-fairest, while Anthony Corse capped off an incredible individual season by claiming under-16 best-and-fairest as well as the golden boot in the under-16s, under-18s and division two men.

Sonny Rowe and Logan Stone were the best-and-fairest winners of the flag-winning under-12 and under-13 sides, respectively.
