In senior football, Lachlan Ross was rewarded for his career-best season with his first best and fairest award, while the A-grade netball award was won by Sophie Shoebridge.
Ross, who late last month informed the Dragons he had signed with Kerang in the Central Murray Football League for the 2022 season, polled votes in 10 of the Dragons' 11 matches.
He finished with 192 votes - 43 clear of consistent ruckman Chris Down, with Lee Coghlan third on 133 votes.
In his first full season of senior football, Noah Walsh was fourth with 130 votes and James Coghlan rounded out the top five on 126 votes.
Sandhurst's A-grade netball best and fairest was dominated by the Dragons' defensive unit.
Shoebridge earned the Dragons' premier player award by polling 30 votes.
Shoebridge polled in eight of the Dragons' 11 games and held off the fast-finishing Ruby Turner in an entertaining count.
Turner, who last week was named in the Australian under-19 squad, polled 16 votes in the final five games to finish five votes behind Shoebridge on 25.
Imogen Sexton and Meg Williams were tied for third on 21 votes.
