Round 3 - Tim Walsh - Riddell
Tim crossed to the Bombers this year after a playing his earlier football with Gisborne.
A goal kicker in his early days at the Bulldogs, he emerged as a gifted backman.
Tim has enjoyed a stellar season. He made a statement to the competition with a best on ground effort in round one and continued his great form from the backline since that game.
Quick, strong and agile, Tim's trademark kick-ins have been the key to Riddell's forward line pressure. His ability to kick 70 metres effortlessly was on display in the RDFNL Interleague game where he kicked the ball into the middle of the ground from a kick-in. He was one of the best in this game.
Tim is from a talented family with older brother Scott winning a league best and fairest with Gisborne.
Tim played all 17 games during the home and away season and was named in the best in the final round against Rupertswood.
To be eligible for the Steve Turner Medal, players must be under 23 years of age, and have played less than 15 senior games prior to the start of the 2016 season. Players must have played junior or Under 18.5 football in the RDFNL, and have made themselves available for selection in RDFNL Interleague Programs. Macedon's Jason Cooke won the award last year.
