Jimmy Newman Medal Nominee for this round:
Round 17: Rachel Boseman (Gold Coast Dragons)
Our nominee for Round 17 has been waiting for a nomination this season after playing several great games but finally after several other players overshadowing her performances to get the nominees in the previous weeks, She finally topped the competition. With 16 disposals, 12 kicks, 4 handballs, 5 marks, and 5 tackles in Gold Coast’s game against Adelaide. It had to be only one player, It is of course Rachel Boseman from the Gold Coast Dragons and He is our 2020 Jimmy Newman Medal Nominee for Round 17.

We wish Rachel the best for the rest of 2020.
