Congratulations to Longwarry midfielder Russell Lehman and Poowong on baller Jack Hazendonk who tied for the Alf Walton medal for the 2018 league senior best and fairest which was held at the Warragul Downtowner tonight. Both polled 27 votes to be two votes clear of Catani ruck rover Nick Visser who came in third and he was one vote in front of last year’s winner and team mate Paul Pattison. Lehman 27 years of age and formerly of Catani returned to the league this season after an extensive career at Pakenham and shone with his prolific ball winning ability, poise and exquisite skills with both hand and feet. Despite his small stature Hazendonk 23 years of age and who joined the league from Devon Meadows in 2017 drives hard at the ball and doubled as a dangerous forward kicking 31 goals this season and was a major reason behind Poowong’s revival.
