Page 80 - AFL QUEENSLAND 2013 YEAR IN REVIEW

78
Palm Beach’s Zane Murphy was named the 2013 Duncanson Todd Medallist.
Murphy claimed the Allied Pickfords Cup best and fairest medal with 19 votes, two ahead of Coolangatta’s David Lynch and Maroochydore captain, Michael Roberts.
After an injury-interrupted start to the season, Murphy polled all of his votes in the second half of the year, with his first in round eight.
From that point on, Murphy polled in all but two of the last eight games, with top votes in round eight (UQ), 10 (Coolangatta), 12 (Wilston Grange), 13 (Magpies), and 15 (Noosa).
Murphy has made an easy transition into Queensland’s top flight community footy this season, after moving up from Tasmania.
Wilston Grange’s Steve Brittain was voted by the coaches as the league’s MVP, winning the Bill Ryan Trophy despite missing more than a month of footy with appendicitis.
Magpies’ Brady Allen collected the Future Star award, as the best U18 aged player in the competition, based on umpire and coach votes and coach nominations.
It was the second individual award for the Magpies, after Anthony Corrie collected the leading goalkicker award, by only one score, finishing with 60 majors.
Springwood’s Tony King was named the coach of the year, after his incredible efforts turning Springwood from a cellar dweller to the premiership favourites.
