GSFL 2023: Anzac Day medallist polls perfect 10 in first round of coaches’ player of the year award

Anzac Day medallist Dylan Schorer polled a perfect 10 from the coaches for his performance on Tuesday in Railways victory over North Albany.

The Great Southern Football League Coaches’ Player of the Year Award is back in 2023 and again sponsored by WFI’s Darrell Panizza.

Schorer was awarded the Anzac Day Medal for his outstanding performance in the special fixture that completed round one.

He was busy winning plenty of the ball through the midfield, laying tackles and capped his game with a goal as the Tigers won by 32 points.

New Albany recruit Jack Beeck collected nine votes in his GSFL debut, playing a big role in the Sharks mauling of Denmark-Walpole on Saturday.

Royals veteran Ryan Kinnear also featured prominently in the opening round, attracting eight votes in his side’s draw with Mt Barker at Retravision Stadium, while Bulls midfielder Scott Price picked up seven in the same game.

Five players sit on five votes after the first round, including former AFL player and Sharks forward Brett Peake who bagged seven goals.

Each league coach votes 5-4-3-2-1 from players on both side’s at the end of every game.
