Consistent, Coachable, Competitive Award – Aiden Murphy

18.2 Boys

Most Valuable Player – Christian Saman
"Christian embodies the very definition of most valuable. His leadership, commitment, work effort and overall determination is second to none and it’s been a privilege to have him as part of this team! His overall play, intensity on defence and his development as a player and as a leader has been a highlight of our season and he's someone I’m very proud to call our most valuable player."

Most Valuable Defender – Max Ledger
"Max, an incredible two-way player for us all year, and despite being one of our best offensive players
it’s his defence that really stands out the most! His ability to guard all five positions, be a dominant shot blocker and an excellent rebounder yet it still doesn’t encapsulate just how dominant he is as a defensive player and the impact he’s had on this team. His distinction on this team has been something I’m very honoured to be a part of and I’m truly proud to have had the opportunity to coach Max this season."

18.3 Boys

Most Valuable Player – Sammy Liuzzi
"Sammy was our highest scorer and had the most steals and assists for the team – an impressive performance for a bottom-ager."

Coach's Award – Lochlan Harper-Kerrigan
"Lochlan may not have been the best player on the stats sheet but always gave his best effort on
both ends of the floor and rarely missed a training even when injured."

18.5 Boys

Most Valuable Player – Jacob Tan
"An outstanding year from Jacob, who was very balanced at both ends of the court. Strong scoring numbers, coupled with rebounding at both ends. He also provided strong support for his teammates with solid assist and steal numbers. Jacob was always present, barely missing a training and providing a great deal of thought and insight into team set-up and practices. Well done, Jacob!"

Coach's Award – Harrison King
The Coach's Award recognises the player who consistently put the team before himself. Someone
who accepted every challenge without complaint, played whatever role was needed and gave everything for the group. Whether he was battling as our lone big for some games or shifting to the four to help the team, he brought toughness, effort and selflessness every week. His impact went far beyond the stat sheet and he embodied everything we value as a team. Amazing year and thank you, Harry!"

18.6 Boys

Most Valuable Player – Jack Maddock
"Jack Maddock has been the experienced, level-headed leader needed on any team of mostly developing players. He has been a consistent scoring/playmaking engine for our team in-game and he also sets the standard for his teammates in practice."

Most Improved – Lachlan Fox
"Lachie Fox has grown into his role as a rim protector, rebounder and screen setter as the season goes. With his height/wingspan he has a ton of potential he’s been tapping into. He is primed for a big top-age year and this season should be the catalyst for a long journey within the sport!"
