Midfield duo share best and fairest

The dynamic duo of Montana Ham and Charlotte Baskaran couldn’t be split in the Western Jets girl’s best and fairest.

The midfield duo who have been mentioned in the same breath week in and week out, were last week announced on the club’s social media as the club’s joint best and fairest winners.

The two were standouts for the Jets, as they won their first premiership.

Baskaran, who captained the side, had earlier finished second in the NAB League best and fairest award and named captain in team of the year.

Both girls were named in the league team of the year and have since represented Vic Metro at the national championships, where they were named in the udner-18 All Australian team.

Ham, who played with Keilor, was named the Vic Metro player of the championships.

Both are expected to be taken high in the AFLW draft later this month having been invited to the AFLW draft combine.

After an injury interrupted 2021, Trinity Skenderis was named runners-up in the club’s main award.

She averaged 16 possessions and five tackles a game.

Defender Laura Elliott was named most improved, as she set a league record for most intercept marks.

She’s another who has caught the eye of AFLW selectors, invited to the draft combine and playing at the national championships and was named in the All-Australian team along with Ham and Baskaran.

Kate Maxwell won the coaches award for her work down back, while Kensley Ward won the trainers award for work in recovering from an early season injury.

Burnside Heights’ Akima Manoah was named best clubwoman for most positive vibes on the training track and on game day.
