Our nominee for Round 22 has been inconsistent but in the final week of the Home and Away season, They were able to have a breakout game. With 22 disposals, 15 kicks, 7 handballs, 2 goals, 4 marks and 5 tackles in Orange’s game against Brisbane. It had to be only one player, It is of course Andrew Davis from the Orange Miners and He is our 2020 Jimmy Newman Medal Nominee for Round 22.

We wish Andrew the best for the rest of 2020.
