Terry Bracks, wife of former Victorian Premier Steve Bracks, has been presented the 2007 Football Woman of the Year (FWOTY) award.
Â
Ms Bracks, a Melbourne supporter, was presented the Essendon Women's Network award at the Great Grand Final Comedy Debate held at Crown.Â
Â
She was named the 10th FWOTY for her active involvement in charity work with a Western Bulldogs program and for her efforts to raise awareness of, and funding for, breast cancer.
Â
Past winners of the award include journlists and AFL club board members. The annual award is open to any woman making a contribution to football.
Essendon’s first selection in the 2006 draft (pick 2 overall), Scott Gumbleton, certainly impressed fans in the five games he played this season. Already being touted as the next Scott Lucas, Gumbleton showed strong marking ability and after a strong pre-season in the gym, he will be one to watch in 2008.
