The club announced their best and fairest awards final tally on Friday night via their Facebook page, as has been done throughout the season.
"We were revealing our best and fairest votes across the four teams every week," Dubbo Junior AFL's Merinda Roll said.
"When the season came to end we continued that to connect to our kids and we were doing zoom meetings in the background with the teams as well.
"We've only revealed the best and fairest for each team as well as the runners-up but behind that all of the player's player and other awards will be given out when we have a date for presentation."

Roll is hopeful the clubs presentation could be held in mid-November, after COVID-19 restrictions are predicted to ease and allow for the annual festivities to occur in-person with the teams.
"We don't want to run in, award trophies and have everyone leave," she said.
"We want to have a game and spent some time together."
Roll admitted the final tally was also a good way to distract the players from lockdown life.
"It was to keep engaging the kids," she said.
"Because they all dealing with it differently."
"Some weeks there was 700 or 800 people tuning in on it."
Cam Healey took out the under 12s best and fairest, edging out Darcy Fairman who finished runner-up.
Rising star Max McAneney won the under 14s best and fairest with Cooper Smith claiming the runner-up award.
