BENDIGO FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Bailey Henderson – Castlemaine
Didn’t win as much ball as the past two weeks but worked tirelessly for his touches in a large loss to Eaglehawk. Again, finished as one of the leading ball getters for the Magpies with 28 disposals.

VICTORIAN AMATEUR FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Zayne Galea – Williamstown CYMS
