In excess of 500 people attended AFL Sydney's Night of Nights at Doltone House, Pyrmont. Hosted by television and radio personality, Hamish McLachlan, the night recognised the achievements of individuals, volunteers and clubs who excelled during the 2013 season.
All past Phelan Medal winners were invited along with Life Members, members of the NSW AFL History Committee, Representatives of GWS Giants and sponsors. Special guests included AFL Commissioner Sam Mostyn, NSW Minister for Women Pru Goward, Sydney Swans outgoing Chairman Richard Colless, GWS Giants Chairman Tony Shephard, White Ribbon Chairman Ken Gillespie and CEO Libby Davies.
Digital Sports provided the audience with a fantastic presentation which included video and photographic highlights from the 2013 season. A full vote count was conducted for all Premier Division Seniors games where Tyrone Armitage was named the winner of the 2013 Phelan Medal with 23 votes. In all other divisions, the top ten vote getters were acknowledged.
A stirring feature piece on AFL Sydney icon Barnaby Howarth was shown on the night and followed with Barnaby being inducted into the AFL Sydney Hall of Fame. Also inducted into the AFL Sydney Hall of Fame on the night was Lindsay Hetherington who was also in attendance along with family and friends to celebrate their achievements and contribution to AFL in Sydney.
Barbara Dickin from Western Suburbs was presented with the Ken Ferguson Award as AFL Sydney Volunteer of the Year. Southern Power’s Lauren Hodgson was named as the AFL Sydney Women’s Volunteer of the Year.
