Round 7 - Robert Burns - Diggers Rest
A former Sunbury Lions Senior and Junior player and junior with Rupertswood, Robert crossed to Diggers Rest this season and made an immediate impact.
While he played limited games, he made an impact in a strong team.
He was one of the stand-out players for the Burras in round seven in their win over Woodend/Hesket at Gilbert Gordon Oval, inspiring a sensational second-half turn around.
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.
