In a full house at the Wynnum RSL last night Tim Plummer took out the 2009 Col Tobiasen medal ahead of Chris Cuthbert from Alex Hills with last year's winner Willie Broome from Wynnum tying for third with Ben Eden from Coorparoo Kings and Luke Faulkner from Alex Hills. Andrew Mansfield won the leading Goalkicer trophy with 68 goals.
The Frank Sutherland Medal for the best and fairest player in Division 1 reserve grade was won for the second year in a row by Rick Conway from Wynnum a close second was teammate Jayme Stringfellow with Keith Burke from Coorparoo Kins and Matthew Lockyer from Yeronga equal third,Rodney Brown also from Wynnum won the Goalkicking trophy with 44 goals.
In Division 2 Scott Cridge from Strathpine won the medal for the best and fairest player. This is a bit of a first as Scott has never played Aussie Rules before, he just walked in off the street to give our code a go after playing Rugby union and league in the past. Adam Holland the coach out at the Swans did not know where to play him so he just ran him on the ball as a ruck rover and the rest is history,Scott Crough from Kedron was second with Greg Brookes from Logan and Clint Robson from Beenleigh tying for third. Cameron Colvin from the Strathpine won the goalkicking trophy with 80 goals.
The Division 2 reserve grade best and fairest medal went to Mark Kennedy from Logan, with team mate Bruce Cure and Tim Deffner tying for second, Cory Bicknell from Robina was third. Allan Corrie gave a rousing speech when he collected his goalkicking award in this division with 66 goals for the season.
All in all the night was a resounding success except for a couple of errors in the power point presentation which gave the crowd something to cheer about and stick it yours truly.
