These ranged from the Junior Club Person of the Year, which father Mark was given, to the Chris Rothnie Memorial Spirit award which James earned by helping build a fence behind the clubhouse...although if you were to ask him, he would say doing the double by finishing as under 17s Best and Fairest and Players Player was the big achievement.
Elizabeth came away from the night with four of her own, including the women's Best and Fairest.
"I did not expect half of them," she said with a smile.
"I'm glad I got the Best and Fairest because it shows consistency on and off the field. The others were a bit of a surprise honestly."
Claire is the youngest of the group and she spent her time playing for the under 14 boys as well as the youth girls.
"It was actually pretty good and you can push yourself a bit more," she said on doubling up throughout the season.
"I was pretty proud of myself."
Dominic proved he was a many of many talents, taking home the tier two Best and Fairest prize, as well as being crowned the Junior Umpire of the Year.
"I mainly do the junior games and boundary umpire the senior games when they need it, but I'm there on a Sunday with everyone else so to get an award for that was good," he said.
"They're the unsung heroes of the sport, you can't have a game without the umpires. I think it's important to recognise the people that help run the games and make everything happen behind the scenes and off the field as well."
Then you've got Mark, who not only got to collect an award himself, but got to watch his four children recognised for their hard work and dedication.
"It felt really good to get it from the club. I'm proud of all of them and what they have achieved," he said.
"It was a surprise to get so many and they've all worked hard to get it. They deserve it.
"Any awards we're proud of, especially the Best and Fairest though because it speaks volumes that they play the game in the right spirit."
