Border Mail |HOWLONG ruckman Peter Hancock is well placed to grab his second Azzi medal in three years.
Hancock, who recently won the Spiders’ best and fairest, is a proven vote-getter and played every home and away match.
He featured in Howlong’s best players on 12 occasions this season.
Henty’s Jarrad Farwell, Lockhart’s Jeremy Sykes and Zac Sheather and Brock-Burrum’s Luke Schilg also look contenders.
Murray Magpie spearhead Ash Murray, Jindera’s Sam Myors, CDHBU’s Josh Lewis and Kade Rowe and Osborne’s Jamie Parr are others to have strong seasons.
Walla’s Jayden Holt, Rand-Walbundrie’s Justin Mesman and Mark Kimball, Culcairn’s Graeme Fruean and Billabong Crows’ Thomas Hofert should lead the way at their respective clubs.
Saint speedster Nico Sedgwick won last year’s Azzi medal.
He polled 24 votes to finish two clear of his coach Luke Brauer.
The vote count will be held at Henty from 6pm on Wednesday.
