Jimmy Newman Medal Nominee for this round:
Round 13: Jamie Munro (Geelong Rush)
You don’t have to be a Top Draft Pick to make a impact on your team and this week, Jamie Munro of Geelong proved it. Drafted Pick No. 35 by the Rush in the 2023 FAFL Draft, Not much was expected of Munro. At least in the short term but during their match against Hobart, Munro shined.
With 22 disposals, 11 marks and an accurate 4.0 in front of goal, He was the main star that helped the Rush dominate the game against Hobart and because of that, He is our Jimmy Newman Medal nominee for Round 13!
