The 2025 Men’s Footballer of the Year, winning the Chris Yard trophy, is Nicholas Eynaud.

His football ability was recognised in season 2025 with him being selected in the AFL Sydney Team of the Year, polling in 4th place in the Phelan medal, played in the AFL Sydney team against Canberra, winning the Ern Holmes trophy as Men’s Best and Fairest along with the Players Player award.

Nick has also been a great leader, not just of the Prems team but in assisting the Women and the under 19s with many training sessions.
Well done, Nick
