The trophy was presented by Graham McNaughton's grandson and former player Andrew McNaughton.

Cox, who jointly won the WGLFL best-and-fairest, thanked players, support staff, committee and supporters for their efforts during his past two years as senior coach.

Cox is leaving the Magpies to take up the same position at Morwell.

Ruckman Toby Leeds was runner-up to Cox.
