The 17-year-old enhanced his reputation as one of the region's most promising talents by upstaging some big names with a runaway victory in the competition best and fairest award.

Hamblin polled 11 votes from just five games to win the one-off AFL Riverina Championship best and fairest medal by four.

Lions teammate Aaron Proctor finished second on seven votes, with a three-way tie between Wagga Tigers' Shaun Campbell, Turvey Park's Jackson Weidemann and Leeton-Whitton's Ryan Grey for third.

The vote count was performed on AFL Riverina's Facebook page on Wednesday night, with Hamblin to be presented his medal on grand final day on Saturday.

The win should provide a spectacular boost to Hamblin's AFL Draft chances, given the competition was rated as the strongest standard of football in the region for decades.

Hamblin, a midfielder and small forward, won despite missing a game due to Giants Academy duties.

He polled three votes in the Lions' two wins over Turvey Park and big victory over Mangoplah-Cookardinia United-Eastlakes in round five, plus two votes in GGGM's five-point loss to Leeton-Whitton.

Meantime, MCUE newcomer Vashti Muller and Osborne recruit Caren Hugo tied for the A grade netball best and fairest.

Muller polled a maximum nine votes in the final three rounds to tie with Hugo on 10.

Muller, a defender, joined MCUE this season from Wodonga Raiders, while Hugo, a goal shooter, was part of The Rock-Yerong Creek's last three Farrer League flags.

In A reserve it was a three-way tie between Wagga Tigers' pair Eliza Kelly and Claudia Wheatley, and MCUE's Tracy Schulz-Cole. B grade was shared between Turvey Park's Elly Ashcroft and MCUE's Molly Matthews.

Wagga Tigers' Sarah Pfeiffer won C grade, while Osborne's Rio Weidemann won under 17s netball.

MCUE's Jacob Whitley won reserve grade best and fairest, while Wagga Tigers' Sam McNaughton won 17s.
