Thank you for voting, Lions Fans! Here are your winners for the 2016 LionsTV Awards:
Best Rookie:
Dawso didn’t just feature, he was the star on whatever LionsTV production he appeared in. You’ve got to have a certain personality to come into the Club as a freshman and take control of the mic and lens.
Congratulations Liam, everyone at the Club is looking forward to following your promising career on LionsTV.
Best Show:
The top rating LionsTV show of 2016 was Locker Talk! It was arguably the best year yet for this weekly program.

Best Blooper:
A slightly horrifying, yet very hilarious clip of Mitch Robinson takes out the Best Blooper award this year.
A loveable character around the Club, Robbo had plenty of bloopers throughout the year. The things he comes up with simply cannot be scripted, mostly because they wouldn’t make it past the approval stage, but also because Robbo is one of a kind.
Congratulations Mitch, consistency is key to win this award and he has delivered.

Best Host:
Stefan Martin has taken the chocolates in this hotly contested field for his work hosting the award winning 'Locker Talk' LionsTV show.
Bringing out the best in the boys around the Club, he asks the hard hitting questions, for example: “if you could be a Pokemon, which one would you be?” and “if there was a Dayne Zorko Sauce Squad, what would you call it?”
Congratulations Stefan Martin.
Best Support Actor:
Painey’s performance singing ‘let it go’ could have won or lost him this award. He says he's "ready for Frozen 2”… but we're just not sure if the rest of the world is...
One liners that have to be heard to be believed, a great personality and a deserving winner of this award.
Best Feature:
If there has ever been a video to get Lions fans pumped up, it's this one.
This video doesn't shy way from it being a tough season, but it does give fans an insight to the hard work and commitment of the team.
'The season isn’t over yet' video gives fans something to get excited about and was released in time for our big win against Essendon.
This is your Club, we will represent.
Best Insider Moment:
A very emotional and raw side of Dan Merrett was captured when he announced his retirement to the playing group. He will be missed by all at the Club and his contribution to LionsTV was invaluable.
With numerous debuts and announcements at the Club this year, this award had many contenders but Merrett's Retirement could not be overlooked.
The Golden Lion:
The Golden Lion was selected by the LionsTV Producers.
This year, Zorks has done it all… Club Best and Fairest and now claiming the prestigious Golden Lion. As far as career highlights go - this is up there.
Dayne Zorko has a friendly personality which shows on camera. Lions fans, teammates and Producers are all thankful for Zorko's contribution to LionsTV this year.
