LAST Monday’s 2024 Morris-Wilson Medal night was a chance for the best players, coaches, and volunteers from across the Ovens and Murray Football Netball League to come together and celebrate the season that was.

Myrtleford’s Marnie Broz was recognised for her service to the club, picking up the Peter Bruhn Award for Volunteer of the Year, while Ava Brock was named B grade Best and Fairest.

Brock swept the field in the B grade count, taking out the top honour with 28 votes, six clear of her nearest competitor, polling in 11 games with seven best on court performances

She also won the Sullivans Hair & Beauty Award for B grade, based on opposition coaches’ votes.

Brock said it had been an incredible season for her and the team.

“We started the year with only six players in B grade, we were just having fun,” she said.

“This year I really settled into a ring role, posting up.

“Bec Piazza worked with me a lot at training and taught me a lot about the ring, using my body.

“I’m known for my one-arm catching, so they call me The Claw – I never use two hands, I only ever use my left hand, so I suppose you could say that made me a bit more of a standout.”

Myrtleford’s Marnie Broz was named volunteer of the year in recognition of her tireless work for the club.

“I thought you were meant to be really old when you got these awards, so obviously I’m old enough,” Broz joked in her acceptance speech.

“I love our club, Myrtleford, and I know every club has lots of volunteers and I’m just one of many.

“I know every club does it very hard, it’s not easy, I’m just waiting for our grandkids to come through and take over.”

Other club members were recognised for their incredible seasons on the netball court and football field.

Lily Boyer and Gemma Corcoran polled well in the 15 and under count, Skylah McPherson came fourth overall in the 17 and under count, Bridget Flint-Chapman came equal third in B grade, while footballers Jaxon East and Lachie Murphy-Dale were named in the Team of the Year.
