The leading goalscorer was named the Player of the Year at the Hellenic Club on Friday evening after a stellar season.

Heyman finished with 12 goals in 18 games, taking her career tally to 94 goals.

"For our voting, Michelle only just pipped Vesna [Milivojevic] and some games it was hard to decide who got the points," coach Njegosh Popovich said.

"Michelle was a deserved winner with some exceptional performances. The hat-trick game stands out, and others she scored goals at crucial moments for us."

The veteran also reached 159 appearances, breaking the A-League record.

"It's a great accolade to achieve that milestone," Popovich said.

"For her to have done that from back when the competition was 10 or 12 rounds, it's really amazing."

Grace Maher was recognised by her teammates, taking out the Ellie Brush Players' Player award, recently re-named in honour of the club legend who retired this season.

"She's a bit of a mother to the group even at such a young age," Popovich said of Maher.

"Her football intelligence is quite high and I have no doubt she will one day become a great coach."

Teenage defender Holly Murray won the Rising Star award as the best under-20 player and Young Matilda Sasha Grove earned the Supporters' Player of the Year in a season the 18-year-old netted her first goal.

Rebecca Taylor took out the Volunteer of the Year.
