The B Grade co-coach led her side to the MCDFNL B Grade grand final where they were just edged out.
Harding said she believed her fitness levels helped her maintain consistency throughout the year.
“I think I had a good second half of the year,” she said.
“As a whole I think the fitness levels of the whole group were high which held us in good stead for the back half of the season.”
“I think a bit of wisdom and experience helps.”
Harriet Slorach won the best and fairest runner up and coach’s award as well.
Harding said she was impressed by Slorach’s season.
“Harriet had a great year and she will just continue to develop,” she said.
“She is a player you want on your side.
“She is still very young and has so much potential.”
Harding said despite Slorach’s small stature she has the potential of making her way into the A Grade team in the future.
“She has the skill and ability to do so,” she said.
“The other impressive thing about her is she thinks about what she does. She is a smart player.”
Bek Seeary-Pye won the C Grade best and fairest ahead of Sian Wynd. Sabelle McSparron won the coach’s award. Navarre also recognised two of its volunteers at the presentation night. Jill Bibby was awarded with the Jack Bibby best club person award while Andrew Murphy was inducted as a life member of the club.
