As expected, Collins was a runaway winner of the LVFL’s Harding Medal on Wednesday night.
Collins polled 27 votes to win by nine from joint runners-up, Newbridge’s Jordan Gilboy and Mitiamo’s Doug Thomas on 18 apiece.
As well as the Harding Medal, Collins also took out the El-Vee award with 31 votes, and was the league’s leading goalkicker with 56 in what was his second season at Bridgewater following his 36-game AFL career at Richmond and Carlton.
The standout player in the most dominant team, Bridgewater coach Collins polled votes in 11 of the Mean Machine’s 16 games.
Included in that were six best-on-grounds – three of which came consecutively in rounds 15 to 17.
