Mason Williams wins at Falcons awards

GEELONG Falcons midfielder Mason Williams has won the Norris Harding Medal at the club’s awards night last weekend.

Williams averaged 15.4 disposals, 5.2 tackles and 3.1 marks in his 17 games for the Falcons this season and also managed three senior games for local club Leopold.

The 18-year-old impressed with his attack at the contest, complimented by speed and class on the outside.

Angus Ford (Barwon Heads) was named runner-up in the best and fairest count, whilst Jesse Mellor (Geelong West) came third.

Archer Hanegraaf won the Coaches Award and Jack Pickett was named Rising Star for the boy’s program.

In the women’s program, captain Georgia Tyrrell (St Joseph’s) took out the Lucy McEvoy Medal after a dominant season that saw her average just under 25 touches and 11.2 tackles a game for the Falcons. She also won the Amy Gorell Player’s Player Award.

Tyrrell also won Victoria Country’s MVP award at the National Championships earlier this year and looks a strong chance to be taken in December’s AFLW Draft.

Ruck Kate O’Brien came second and midfielder Stella Huxtable came third.

Father-daughter hopeful Ally Lappin won the Coaches Award for the girls program, whilst Greea McKeegan won the Rising Star Award.

Tom Steinfort and Ella Condon took out the under-16 MVP awards, whilst Bianca O’Brien won the Kevin Evans Spirit Award and coach Paul Corrigan was recognised for five years’ service at the club.
