Haydn Cowled picked up first grade's top gong to be presented the 2019 Les Boyd Medal.
Cowled, who began the season with Young but returned to his home club after the first four rounds, was one of the strongest players in the competition throughout the back end of the season and consistently polled strongly for the Bulldogs.
He was presented the medal by Les Boyd's son Grant Boyd.
A special presentation was made to 2019 player-coach Matt Forsyth who has signed with Group Seven's Shellharbour Sharks for 2020.
Forsyth received recognition for scoring his 100th try in first grade for the Bulldogs.
According to vice-president Paul Miller, he's only the second player in the club's recent history to achieve the feat.
He joins Chris Roberts who scored more than 100 first grade tries for the Dogs during the 1970s and 1980s.
Forsyth was presented with a ball in glass case.
He also received the Stuart Rock Memorial Award presented to a player who has contributed too the club off the field.
Grant Miller won the Les Boyd Medal for reserve grade.
He was a part of the Bulldogs 2005 first grade premiership winning side, and this year was making a comeback after five years away from the game.
