JAMES Podsiadly's week just got a whole lot bigger.

A day after booting eight goals against Casey Scorpions to lead Werribee to a VFL preliminary final, the Tigers captain last night won the league best-and-fairest, the J. J. Liston Trophy.

In a thrilling vote count at Moonee Valley, the star forward polled one vote for booting seven goals in the 66-point win at Bendigo in Round 19 to finish with 16 votes and pip Sandringham skipper Peter Summers and Williamstown captain Brett Johnson by a solitary vote.

Johnson missed the votes in the final-round Williamstown-Werribee clash at Burbank Oval, while Summers failed to poll in Sandy's home loss to North Ballarat, handing Podsiadly victory.

Gippsland Power rover Jarryd Blair and Murray Bushrangers winger Farran Priest have tied for the 2008 Morrish Medal.

It is the first time since the inception of the TAC Cup in 1992 that the league best and fairest award has been shared.

The pair each claimed 18 votes to win the award ahead of Calder Cannons midfielder Dylan Joyce and North Ballarat defender Andrew Hooper on 17 votes.

Priest’s best on ground performance for the Bushrangers against Oakleigh in the final round catapulted Priest atop the leader board on 18 votes. Blair’s one vote game for the Power against Western in the last round saw him join Priest as a winner.
