Ryan Lester’s recognition as the Most Professional Player at the recent 2015 Club Champion presentation evening was reward for effort after a difficult year.
In his fifth AFL season, Lester has proven he has the necessary drive and determination to succeed at the elite level, despite suffering an injury setback in Round 15 against the Swans in the Reserves, sidelining him for the remainder of the season.
Lester used the opportunity to thank those departing the Lions, who had helped him along the journey.
“Thanks to the people departing the Club at the end of this year, both players and staff.
“Your contributions have been enormous to this football club and you’ll be sorely missed”, he said.
“To the members and the fans, thank you for your support. It’s been a tough year, but good times are around the corner. We appreciate your support.”
