ESSENDON skipper Matthew Lloyd and Collingwood’s Leon Davis have claimed the 2008 AFL Mark and Goal of the Year Awards.
Lloyd, who took out the Goal of the Year Award last season, received this years’ honour after his pack mark against Melbourne at the MCG in round 18.
Davis’ nomination came in round 22 against Fremantle at Subiaco Oval after he tackled Des Headland, gathered the disputed ball and kicked truly on the run from the boundary line.
He becomes the third indigenous player to receive the award since 2004 following Daniel Wells (2004) and Eddie Betts (2007).
Lloyd will receive the Alex Jesaulenko medal for his winning mark while Davis will accept the Phil Manassa medal.
Each player receives the use of a Toyota TRD Aurion for 12 months while their junior football clubs Avondale Heights and Maddington Football Clubs will receive $5000 each.
