The evenness of the quality players in the Lions Reserves side put paid to any individual winning the Grogan Medal with three Lions finishing close behind winner Jacob Gough.
The state league’s equivalent of the Brownlow Medal was won by the Morningside ruckman-forward with 19 votes, three clear of hard working Lions centre-half-forward Shane Morrison and bustling Mt Gravatt utility Ben Batahla.
Morrison was level with Gough at one stage late in the count, but the big Panther’s excellent finish to the year saw him become Morningside’s 13th player to win the award.
Pre-count favourite Richard Hadley finished fifth with 13 votes, one behind surprise packet Daniel Merrett.
Merrett, in just his second full season of football after taking up the game on a whim to help out some mates on the Gold Coast, polled strongly during the middle stages of the year when he was a solid marking target at full forward and on the ball.
Ruckman Dylan McLaren also polled strongly with nine votes, the Lions picking up all six votes in a game on every occasion when they were at full strength.
But it was a great night for Queensland product Gough, who has been nurtured through the Queensland junior system.
The night was made even better for the Morningside club, with ruckman Rhys Dahl being named the Bill Clerke Medallist for the reserve grade best and fairest, also polling 19 votes.
The top nine placegetters were:
Jacob Gough Morningside 19
Ben Batahla Mt Gravatt 16
Shane Morrison Lions 16
Daniel Merrett Lions 14
Richard Hadley Lions 13
David James Southport 13
Glen Conroy Morningside 12
Justin Wilson Morningside 12
Peter Wolfe Nthn Eagles 12
Congratulations to all our boys on a fantastic season.
