Woodville-West Torrens midfielder Kai Pudney has won the 2018 McCallum-Tomkins Medal.

A member of the McDonald’s SA Under-18 team, Pudney attracted a total of 23 votes to finish ahead of Norwood’s Kade Chandler and North Adelaide’s Bailey Coleman-Oakes, who each finished with 20 votes.

Originally from the Port District Football Club, Pudney averaged more than 31 disposals across his 11 appearances in the Under-18 Torrens Uni Cup competition.

The 18-year-old – who measures in at 186cm and 78kg – also played a valuable role on the wing for the McDonald’s SA Under-18 team at this AFL National Championships.

Pudney’s team-mate Jarrod Miller posted a strong season by collecting 17 votes to finish fourth while another Eagle in Jackson Mead – the son of Port Adelaide premiership defender Darren Mead – also finished in the top 10.

Pudney is just the second Eagle – joining Paul Ventura in 2013 – to win the McCallum-Tomkins Medal since the advent of the new Under-18’s format in 2009.
