WOODSIDE’s heart and soul Daniel Missen has put in the ideal preseason, winning a league best and fairest in the Northern Territory.
Like many Gippslanders before him, Missen made the move north this summer to play a season in the top end during the Northern Territory’s dry season.
Playing for the Palmerston Magpies in the Northern Territory Football League, Missen took out the Premier Reserves league best and fairest.
The utility played 11 games in the reserves, and was listed in the best for his club 10 times.
His consistency was rewarded with senior selection three times.
Unfortunately, Palmerston had a torrid season in both grades, finishing last in the seniors and seventh of nine teams in the reserves.
The NTFL is into the second week of its finals campaign, with the season to finish March 16.
Missen has been a mainstay at the Wildcats, and was co-captain of the senior team that made last year’s North Gippsland Football-Netball League Grand Final.
Rosedale has also had a few players plying their trade in the Northern Territory over summer. Pictured alongside Woodside’s Daniel Missen, Joh Fythe and Jez Morgan are Blues Will Logan, Riley Atlee, Spencer Fox and Oscar Smith.
