VAFA Live Coverage: August 31-Sept 1
VAFA Media’s live coverage this weekend features two critical Premier Men’s match-ups on Saturday and our two Holmesglen U19 Premier Semi Finals on Sunday. This week’s SEN VAFA Match of the
Fitzroy-ACU ruckman, Tash Ross-Harris, was crowned the first-ever William Buck Premier Women’s Best & Fairest winner last night at the 2017 VAFA Wilson Women’s Awards Night at The Park, Albert Park.
Ross-Harris, who also donned the inaugural Big V against AFL Goldfields in July, polled 27 votes from her 12 games this season; including, seven 3’s in the first 10 games and eight for the year.
Old Trinity star and Big V captain, Claire Messent, finished second on 18 votes after starting the year on fire with four BOG’s in the first five weeks, while Caulfield Grammarians’ Irena Malliaras led for the first three grading games and finished equal-third with Marcellin’s Taylor Padfield on 16. Padfield excelled in the back half of the season with three consecutive three-vote games between Rounds 11 and 13.
SKOB Saints pair, Eliza Straford and Sarah Cameron, rounded out the top six with 15 votes apiece, with one or the other polling the three votes in eight of the Saints’ 14 games. The Saints had the highest number of individual vote-getters with 16 polling at least once.
The VAFA congratulates Tash on an outstanding season and thanks all those who attended last night’s presentation. We now look forward to this weekend’s five women’s grand finals.
