Who will take home the Morrison Medal?

This season we have witnessed some new and old faces push their claims to collect the league’s prestigious senior football best-and-fairest.

Rochester gun Chris Jansen will no doubt poll highly, as will talented Seymour on-baller and recent club best-and-fairest winner Jack Murphy.

Skilful Shepparton Swans on-baller Zac Banch enjoyed a strong campaign with the rebuilding Swans and will have caught the eye of the umpires.

Kyabram duo Zac Keogh and Kaine Herbert led the way for the Bombers and enjoyed sublime seasons — along with talented swingman Lachie Smith.

And expect Echuca midfielder Sam Willoughby, Seymour young gun Ben Rigoni and Mansfield leader Brett Mahoney to end up among the higher end of the leaderboard.

In terms of outsiders, Tatura jet Billy Cooper clinched his club’s best-and-fairest recently, while Benalla star Chris Welsh could have his GVL Data points translate into umpire votes.

Mooroopna forward and leading goal-kicker Chris Nield may surprise and classy Echuca mover Andrew Walker is expected to poll well.
