Crackel won his second consecutive Geoff Macilwain Medal as the club’s senior football best and fairest.
The consistent midfielder was a runaway winner of the award, polling 78 votes, well clear of runner-up Connor O’Shea (43).
Crackel also won the Richard Peart Memorial Award as voted by his senior footballing peers.
Cam Rinaldi was the Magpies leading goal kicker with 30.
Meanwhile, Macilwain scored her second A-grade netball award after a stellar season, which ended last weekend with representation in the North central team at the Netball Victoria State Title.
Macilwain, who was also the netball club person of the year, polled 35 votes, 10 clear of runner-up and her partner in goals Alicia Cassidy.
It was that pairing which tied for the best and fairest award, when Macilwain last won in 2014.
In other netball awards, twins Maggie and Ella Tranter tied for the 17-and-under netball best and fairest, ahead of runner-up Keely Hare.
It capped a magnificent season for Maggie Tranter, who was the Carol Sing medallist as this year’s league best and fairest,.
