2.40pm: A-grade netball vote count about to start. Good luck to those involved.
2.28pm: That’s a wrap for Greg Champion. Cameo from Guru Bob at the end very good. Job well done. 15 minute break before the A-grade netball count starts.
2.20pm: Greg Champion still on stage. Vote counts shouldn’t be too far away.
2.05pm: Champion’s “Richmond finished ninth again” song very clever. His Tiger Woods song sang to the tune of Richmond’s club song – OUTSTANDING.
2pm: Greg Champion on stage – entertaining the crowd. Too much Collingwood bashing for my liking.
1.50pm: The Cheatley Medal should be an intriguing count.
It’s hard to see the winner coming from outside of the top five teams.
Leitchville-Gunbower has had an outstanding season. Midfielders Tom German and Tim Lincoln have been brilliant, but they’ve had a lot of mates. Forward Matt Perri kicked 70 goals, including two hauls of 10.
North Bendigo’s big forwards Sam Barnes and Brady Herdman had fine seasons again. Herdman kicked 70 goals in the home and away season and Barnes 71. Barnes is ineligible to win the award because of suspension. North’s midfield group had an even season. Tyson Findlay is a proven vote getter and Jarrod Findlay had some standout games.
Huntly’s Harry Whittle is a strong tip, but his team-mate Ryan Semmel could pinch votes off him. Semmel is a winning chance himself. He won the award in the 2013.
As for Colbinabbin, coach Nick Knight looks the man most likely for the Grasshoppers. Kicked 44 goals as a midfielder and was named in his side’s top three players in seven games. Look for him to poll strongly early. Key forward Ryan Hon made a strong impression in his first year with the club, kicking 56 goals.
Elmore full-forward Danny Brewster played all 16 home and games and kicked 80 goals, including four hauls of nine or more goals.
1.45pm: The general consensus around the room is that the winner of the A-grade netball count will come from Leitchville centre Lauren Dehne, White Hills centre Lauren Bowles and Colbinabbin coach Liz Cobbledick.
1.40pm: Before we start the A-grade netball vote count, here’s some of the leading contenders.
1.35pm: The two major awards will be presented straight after the meal break – the A grade netball and the senior football.
We’ll have all the votes from every game for you – stay tuned.
1.30pm: Earlier today a couple of other awards were presented.
Huntly’s Harry Whittle won the Elmore Field Days club voting award. Whittle polled 30 votes.
North Bendigo won the goal shooting trophy for most goals across the league.
1.30pm: Meal break now. The Coodabeen Champions’ Greg Champion getting ready to perform.
