Two Dandenong Stingrays players, Billy Hartung and Zak Jones were named in the TAC Cup team of the year, as well as being honored with All Australian honours at the Morrish Medal awards night which was held at Etihad Stadium on Sunday 8th September.
Zak Jones was named in the Back Pocket following a fine season both with the Stingrays and for Vic Country, where he was also awarded with honors of being the MVP for Vic Country for 2013.
Jones a strong one on one player who started the year as a small back and cementing his selection with Vic Country as the aggressive small back. Jones continued his development after returning midyear from Nationals duties to play in the Stingrays midfield. He has the ability to play as an inside mid fielder as well as outside the centre square as he can win his own ball in 1 v1 contests and well as reading the play and getting on the end of attacking moves.
Billy Hartung was named on the wing as he has continued to play at a high standard in the TAC Cup and the AFL NAB Under 18 nationals. Billy represented Vic Country in the Under 18 championships for the second year running, as well as two years in the AFL AIS program.
Billy has returned to the Stingrays fold where he has led by example with his professionalism, desire and work rate never questioned only adding to his skills and game knowledge.
