In his first season with the Dragons, Pallpratt polled votes in 17 of the Dragons’ 21 matches.
He finished with 326 votes, 81 clear of playing-coach Andrew Collins, with midfielder Zeb Broadbent a further 11 votes back in third place.
From round 12 through to the preliminary final loss to Strathfieldsaye, Pallpratt polled in every game for the Dragons.
Williams was just impressive in the A-grade netball best and fairest award.
The wing attack polled votes in 15 of the Dragons’ 17 matches.
She finished with 51 votes, 16 clear of goal attack Kelsey Meade on 35. Goal keeper Carly Van den Heuvel was third on 31 votes.
Williams’ club award came on the back of a premiership medal and the best on court medal in the A-grade grand final.
In other awards, Brodie Montague capped a fine season by winning the reserves football best and fairest award, while rising star Ben Worme took out the under-18 best and fairest trophy.
In the lower grades of netball, teenager Ruby Turner took the honours in the A-reserve, league best and fairest winner Briona Giddings added the B-grade club award to her name, Mia McConnachie won a thrilling B-reserve count and Emmie Banfield was a clear winner of the 17-and-under award.
