Logan Braun and Benji Beck crowned at 2026 Juniors Awards Night

Subiaco Football Club celebrated the 2026 Rogers Cup and Colts seasons on Saturday night, with Logan Braun claiming the Pia Faletti Medal and Benji Beck taking home the Taylor Medal at the Juniors Awards Night.

The night was the first Juniors Awards Night in the club’s history, bringing the Rogers Cup and Colts programs together under one roof as part of the club’s focus on building stronger connection and alignment between our teams.

Players, families, coaches and supporters came together at the club to look back on a season of big wins, a remarkable Colts turnaround and outstanding individual achievements.

Pia Faletti Medal: Logan Braun

Logan Braun produced a stunning finish to the season to win the Rogers Cup Best and Fairest with 160 votes, 10 clear of runner-up Ebony Antulov. Equal fourth after round 15, Logan polled 57 votes in her last five games, including back-to-back 13-vote performances to close out the home-and-away season and 12 votes in the semi-final win over Claremont.

The medal was presented by Pia Faletti herself, making Logan the first player to receive the award since it changed from a trophy to a medal this year. Ebony Antulov (150 votes) finished runner-up, and Dhi Perera (141 votes) placed third.

The Rogers Cup side enjoyed a strong season, winning 11 of 16 home-and-away games and defeating Claremont in the First Semi Final before bowing out in the Preliminary Final.

Taylor Medal: Benji Beck

Benji Beck won the Colts Best and Fairest with 138 votes. He hit the front midway through the season and never looked back, polling eight or more votes in 11 of his 17 games, including four perfect 10s, to finish 16 votes clear. The medal was presented by Brian Taylor, representing the Taylor family, whose name the award honours.

Bottom-ager Sam O’Brien finished runner-up with 122 votes, and Dylan Young placed third with 108.

The Colts’ season was one of the stories of the year. After sitting on one win from their first seven games, the side won eight of their last 11 home-and-away games under interim coach David Hay, including five straight to finish fourth and reach an Elimination Final.
