The 2019 Willie M Medal: Round 25

The 2019 Willie M Medal: Round 25

The Willie M Medal came down to the final weekend of the season and it is with great dishonour, significant disdain and incredible disappointment that I award this year’s Willie M Medal to Ben Hunt. Hunt pipped the awful Bryce Cartwright with Darius Boyd back in third in what was one of the hottest Willie M Medal races in years. Hunt joins the likes of Chris Sandow, Mitchell Moses and Aidan Sezer.
