Great Western Lions Football Club held their senior presentation night at the Stawell Entertainment Centre.
The football voting in the reserves was a standout win by a long margin.
However, the senior football winner was not apparent until the last round of the vote count.
Some of the senior netball voting was quite spread with a lot of the girls attracting strong votes throughout the night.
It shows that the club has some great talent in their netball ranks for the coming season.
Two life member badges were awarded to Rodney Matheson and Tim Shalders.
The club person of the year award was presented to Wayne Cameron, while the players player of the year went to Rayne Salmon.
Other award winners included last year's best and fairest Lachie Malloy who was runner up and most determined senior player, Tom McCord who was the best of the under 21 category, Ben Hustler who was the leading goal kicker, Isaac Debono who was most consistent and the most valuable player who was Brendan Burton.
Andrew Beckwith was an easy winner in the reserves vote count with Adam Bullock and James Gooden a long way back in second.
Erin Freeland played approximately half the season which was enough to see her take out the top honours in the netball.
Missy Brown was runner up and Courtney Lanagan was the coach's award recipient.
In B grade Tara Cadzow was the best and fairest as was Bianca Beasley in C Grade to round out the best and fairests for the night.
