Scott Blanch named Bears' best and fairest and players' player

The veteran No 9 - who led the Bears to a seventh straight premiership last month - was also named the side's players' player, along with rampaging second-rower Josh Schmiedel, at the club's presentation night on Saturday.

Schmiedel was also named best forward.

He and Blanch both notched their 100th first-grade game for the club in the major semi-final loss to Dungowan in September.
