Northern Jets full-forward Matt Wallis wins his first best and fairest

Wallis was rewarded for a strong season by taking out the Jets' best and fairest at the club's presentation night on Friday at Ardlethan.

In a tight count, Wallis (48 votes) edged out Sam Fisher (43) for the award, just ahead of talented young ruckman Lachie Jones (42).

Young defender Max Tidd was named most consistent, Jack Harper was named best utility, Jack Fisher most determined and Nate Doyle took out coach's award.

Northern Jets coach Josh Avis said Wallis was a deserved winner.

"Wal was pretty consistent. A couple of big numbers but he polled nearly every week, he was really consistent," Avis said.

"He kicked a lot of bags and it's nice for a forward to get a bit of recognition."
