GLENORCHY star Jaye Bowden’s dominant season has seen him win his third Alastair Lynch Medal in comprehensive fashion.
Already the first player in the TSL to win multiple best and fairest medals, Bowden polled 33 votes to add to his 2012 and 2015 crowns.
Also the Hudson Medallist as this season’s top goalkicker and the media’s player of the year, Bowden was judged best on ground by officials this year an incredible nine times.
He finished 13 votes clear of North Launceston’s Taylor Whitford, who wasn’t even on the leaderboard until round 11.
Five best afield performances in the last 10 rounds helped Whitford to second place with Devonport’s Dylan Riley third with 18 votes.
Burnie’s Zane Murphy – who was ineligible after being suspended this season – finished fourth with 17 votes.
