Star Noosa Tigers onballers Mitch Conn and Amanda Tessari have taken out the 2025 Noosa Today media award after both having outstanding individual seasons. Conn makes it two in a row having won last years media award in his first year at the club. Once again also the hard-at-it skillfull on-baller made the QAFL team of the year in 2025, the only Noosa male player to do so in both 2024 and 2025.
Tessari has been just a ball magnet for the much improved Senior Womens team and like Conn regularly wins her own footy and is noticeably skillfull to match. Both of these media winners have had experience on AFL/VFL lists so it’s certainly not surprising to see their names among trophy winners after superb 2025 seasons.
The media award is voted upon by our Senior Coaches and Assistants where by they select the best players afield using the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 system. This year the following results occured;
Senior Mens
1. M. Conn 25
2. S.Willoughby 24
3. G.Byrne 18
4. J.Freeman 16
5. K.Cates 16
Senior Womens
1. A.Tessari 50
2. R.Mills 23
3. E.Piercey 21
4. A.Monk 17
5. K.Barker 16
On the topic of individual excellence the Noosa Tigers Presentation Night is coming up on Saturday 18 October at the RACV Resort function centre.
How good were the Lions? Just an amazing effort with so many injuries and on going set backs throughout the year.
This writer can only see them get better with their talented youth and new recruits forthcoming. Queensland Aussie Rules Footy (particually in the South East) really is in a very strong position!
