Willunga’s Daniel Bass won the Great Southern Football League Mail Medal after polling 26 votes at last night’s count. Brett Ellis of McLaren and Langhorne Creek’s James Sellar finished two votes back in a tie for second. Mount Compass’ Ziggy Vitkunas was a further two votes back in fourth position. Bass joined the Demons last year after playing 101 games in the SANFL for South Adelaide between 2010-2017 and was a big reason Willunga finished the season as minor premier.
