Adam McDonald capped off a remarkable season for the Swans by easily winning the Clubs highest award at the clubhouse on Saturday night. McDonald’s runaway win completed a treble not achieved by any Swan in the Clubs history. League Best & Fairest, Players Player and Best & Fairest all in the same season.
McDonald was the favorite heading into the count and it became evident early that he would be hard to beat. David Faulds mounted a challenge midway and got to within 3 votes at one stage but McDonald’s strong finish at the back end saw the lead balloon out in the end with McDonald amassing 41 votes with Faulds claiming the Runners Up award with 24 votes.
Jae Ruzzier finished a solid first season at the Swans with 22 votes to add to his Best Backman award and AFLT Townsville All Star selection.
Glen Bamford won the Reserves count in a thrilling finish with Runner Up Shane Lindgren. Bamford scored 3 votes on the very last card to replace Lindgren at the top of the leader board by 2 votes. Bamford also won the Players Player award.
John Macansh took out the Colts Best & Fairest. Macansh was in a 3 way tie with Mitchell James and Mitchell Wheeler heading into the final round but a standout performance against the Hawks saw Macansh get the 3 votes and claim the award.
A great night was had by all and the combining of the Football and Netball awards was a huge success.
