WDJFL 2021 Season Awards

WDJFL 2021 Season Awards

With the season cancelled, and the last three weeks of the finals abandoned, 2021 was not the season we all thought it would be as we looked to bounce back from an equally disappointing 2020.

As we got some clear air to host the 2021 edition of the WDJFL Presentation Night, the league and the advisory panel thought it necessary to hold it as soon as we could, this being November 8.

The night started with MC Zac Guilfoyle reading out the following awards:

Minor Premiers

Under 12s: Centrals JFC Centrals were undefeated in the under 12s on the season, escaping with a draw in the dying stages of the season to keep their streak alive.

Under 14s: College JFC College were also undefeated and dominant led by Chris Doyle.

Under 17s: Junior Magpies JFC. For many of the Junior Magpies players this would have been their first finals series, but play was called off the Friday night before their game and play couldn’t get back underway under the government guidelines. A disappointing end for the Minor Premiers.

Most Valuable Players

Under 12s: Noah White, Bright JFC

Under 14s: Jack Hazeldine, Myrtleford JFC

Under 17s: Cooper Thomason, Bright JFC

Best First Year Player

Under 14s: Charlie Haring, College JFC

Under 17s: Lachlan Miotto, Myrtleford JFC and Will McCarthy, College JFC

Leading Goal Kicker

Under 14s: Montell Macfarlane, Benalla Bulldogs JFC

Under 17s: Brody Bouker, Myrtleford JFC

League Best and Fairest Awards

Under 12s Kevin Mahoney Medal, winner: Kaiden Wohlers, Centrals JFC

Under 12s Kevin Mahoney Medal, runner up: Ollie Reynolds, Kangaroos JFC

Under 14s Ken Farrell Medal, winner: Charlie Haring, College JFC

Under 14s Ken Farrell Medal, runner up: Jack Hazeldine, Myrtleford JFC and Hamish Willett, Benalla Giants JFC

Under 17s: McCormick Medal, winner: Ben Les, Mansfield JFC

Under 17s McCormick Medal, runner up: Judd Schubert, Tigers JFC

That wrapped up 2021 for the Wangaratta & District JFL, with plenty of talent coming through the ranks.

Lead Your Way 2025

By Zac Hedin • December 3, 2024

The Lead Your Way Program is back, giving women and gender-diverse people volunteering in community football leadership the opportunity to level up their skills and network. If you're a current committee-level volunteer at a community football club in our Metropolitan Leagues or Country Regions, this program is for you! Bronwyn McGorlick from the Wangaratta Rovers Female Football Club was a participant in 2024 and had this to say about the program - "It's been really great to connect with all the other leaders involved in footy. Sometimes you can be involved in your won club and not realise that there is this massive network of people out there, so I think that's been the best thing about it".
