Parker named Eagles best and fairest

Senior Best and Fairest Marcus Parker.
GOALKICKING ace Marcus Parker took out this year's Les Hepper Medal in a runaway win at the New Norfolk District Football Club vote count and trophy presentations night last weekend. After a big season in front of goals, Parker won the Eagles' Best and Fairest award by the big margin of 45 votes.

Jacob Wigg and Jye County were dual runners-up with 52 votes each, and not far behind were Josh Hills on 50, Blair Wardlaw 48 and Jacob Daley 47. Parker put on a dominant display at full forward for the Eagles this season, kicking 85 goals from 15 matches. At this rate, the big 100 could well be reached in the 2020 season.

Congratulations also to Parker on winning the SFL Leading Goal Kicker Award with 77 goals during the home and away season. Parker then bagged eight in the elimination final to finish with a total of 85.

Well done to all the coaches and president Sally Coleman and her board members on a great season.  A big thank you to Vanessa Britten for her work in putting together all four team vote counts. Many hours are given by Vanessa to see that the counts all run smoothly and the club really appreciates her efforts.

Lovell has given great service to the club, playing 160 senior and 19 reserves matches, including five senior grand finals for four premierships. Well done Ben, your award is well deserved.
