THE player judged as the Best & Fairest in the Under 18 age group will now be presented with the Angus Anderson Medal.<\/p>\n
Anderson, a proud product of the Sawtell Toormina Saints, is the first male player from the AFL North Coast to play in the AFL.<\/p>\n
The 22 year-old made his debut for Collingwood during Gather Round four weeks ago and he has impressed many with his strength in the contest and ball winning abilities since then.<\/p>\n
In recognition of his tremendous achievement, the AFL North Coast offered Anderson the honour of having the Under 18 B&F award named after in.<\/p>\n
Showing the humility that he’s displayed since starting his football journey as a Sawtell Toormina Auskicker, Anderson took some time to think about it before accepting the honour.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Having the Under 18 award re-named the Angus Anderson Medal is apt as he himself won it in 2020 when the AFL North Coast had an Under 17 age group (he also finished runner-up in the senior award in the same year).<\/p>\n
Anderson joins a prestigious list of people from the AFL North Coast’s history to have a similar honour bestowed upon them. \u00a0<\/p>\n
