Goalkeeper and captain Robert Fry was named first grade's players' player for the second straight season, while attacker Jake Ploenges took out the coach's award.
The main women's gongs were won by captain Madeline Harris (players' player) and Brandy Nicholson (coach's award).
Fry said the addition of head coach Michael Babic and Matt Menser as an assistant playing coach will give the club a breath of fresh air after they narrowly missed finals after a strong finish to the season.
"It's couple of big signings there. I'm really looking forward to working with them and they've got a great reputation around the region," Fry said.
"After having some good results at the end of last year, hopefully that will encourage more players to come across to the club."
