Sedgwick was paid plenty of attention by Osborne's Izaak McDonnell during Saturday's grand final but still managed to be one of the Saints' best players.

"'Sedgie' is made to earn his kicks every week," Stevens said.

"He has to work hard.

"He is an amazing player because he earns his 25 or 30 touches every week with somebody sitting in his pocket (tagging).

"It takes a lot of mental power to deal with a tagger every week.

"Once again he was one of our leaders and laid five tackles in the third quarter when we were trying to mount a fightback."

Stevens said Brock-Burrum were in good shape to rebound from the loss next season.

"We have re-signed 90 per cent of our list over the past month," he said.

"We will have a look at things over the next month and then target a handful of recruits to fill spots we need to bolster."
