CTV > Watch highlights of Paul's season as CTV speaks to him about the honourPaul Medhurst has been acknowledged for his brilliant season after being awarded All-Australian honours in his second year at the club.
The former Fremantle forward backed up a strong 2007 season with an All-Australian one this year. He finished his home-and-away season with 48 goals, 284 kicks and 165 marks.
The 26-year-old is Collingwood’s first All-Australian since Alan Didak in 2006.
The Magpies picked up Medhurst and pick eight (Ben Reid) in a trade which sent Chris Tarrant to Fremantle.
Medhurst was awarded with his consistent play earlier this year when he signed a two-year extension keeping him at the club until 2010.
