The Melton Toyota Riddell District Football & Netball League, in conjunction with award sponsor Dome Security, are pleased to announce the nominations for the Steve Turner Medal - RDFNL Dome Rising Gun Award for Round 13 of the 2016 RDFNL season.
Steve Turner is a name synonymous with junior football in the north/western metropolitan areas. Steve is a Life Member of the Riddell District FNL who has held many roles within the league, including a stint as Football Operations Manager and on the RDFNL Board. In 2016, Steve once again sits on the RDFNL Board.
Round 13 - Jonathon Ferri - Melton Centrals
Originally from Melton South and then the Melton Centrals junior teams in the RDJFNL, Jonathon had his first taste of Senior football in 2014 while playing Under 18.5s. He continued playing in both grades last year before making his permanent mark at Senior level this year.
Jonathon has been a solid contributor for the Centrals in the backline.
He stepped it up in round 13 in the loss to Woodend/Hesket. He was easily the best player for the team with his clever left foot disposal, ability to bring team mates into the game and setting up the play from the backline. His efforts in this game was a testament to his ability as a footballer and a positive sign for him and the club going forward.
Jonathon played 15 games this season and was named in the best in three of the last four games.
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.
