BILLY Micevski has had a big year - the birth of son Noah, winning the Loddon Valley Harding Medal on Monday night.
But there’s two more things he wants. The star centreman has a focus on Saturday’s preliminary final and Pyramid Hill earning the right to play in the grand final and, of course, to be part of a Bulldogs’ drought-breaking flag team.
Micevski was the runaway winner in Monday’s league best and fairest vote count. He finished the season with 23 votes, six clear of Marong duo Corey Gregg and Brandyn Grenfell.
“I had a good pre-season getting the work done ... only missed one game and that was for the birth of Noah,” said Micevski who arrived at Mitchell Park seven seasons ago after a career that included then-VFL side Northern Bullants. “That’s where I cut my teeth in senior footy.”
Micevski wants to play out his football career with the Bulldogs and is in awe of the club’s committee, volunteers and supporters.
“It’s the most incredible football club I have every been part of. They may it so easy tyo come out and play well,” said the Melbourne-based Micevski.
“People like president Bruce Moon, the Dingwalls, the Scotts and many others ... they are the lifeblood who allow us to play.”
Micevski’s focus is on this weekend. “We have to earn the right to play the following week. We can do that.”
