It's been an all too familiar call on Beechworth presentation nights for more than a decade.

And this year was no different when Kayde Surrey took out the Bushrangers best and fairest for an incredible fifth time.

Amazingly he joined older brother Brenton as a five-time winner.

Kayde has had a mortgage on the Bushies highest individual honour in recent years.

He captured his first best and fairest in 2015 and made it four in a row this season after previous wins in 2017-18-19.

Brenton won his first best and fairest in 2005 and also added his name to the honour roll in 2009, 2011-12-13.

Since 2009 the talented siblings have won nine of 12 best and fairests.

Kayde polled 102 votes this season to edge out midfielder Cam Fendyk on 96.

Brenton finished third with 79 with the proven vote catcher also a Barton medallist in 2011.

He also finished runner-up in the league's highest individual honour in 2006-07-08 and 2010.

Bushrangers president Adam Fendyk said he had lost count of how many best and fairests the Surrey brothers had taken out.

"I know Kayde has won four in a row now and will probably need another trophy cabinet," Fendyk said.

Kayde is also a talented cricketer and the reigning Wangaratta and District Cricketer of the Year.

Brenton coached the Bushrangers this season after the shock departure of Shaun Baxter after only two matches at the helm.

He said he was excited that the club had recently signed former player Tom Cartledge as coach.

"It's exciting to have Tom return to the club as coach," Brenton said.

"Tom is a proven performer in the Tallangatta league and will lead by example.

"He also has a very good rapport with the playing group and the whole of the club for that matter.

"I know he won't leave any stone unturned and is the right bloke to lead the club back up the ladder.

"Obviously it will be a new role for him being a rookie coach.

"But with the right support I can see him being a success in the role."

Brenton said he was keen to extend his decorated career under Cartledge.

"If I can get fit enough, I'm keen to go again," he said.

"I'm 34 now but I will see how the work and family commitments are in March and make a definite decision then.

"But as the old saying goes you are a long time retired and I haven't got any real plans to hang the boots up just yet.

"Hopefully we can retain most of the list and add a few recruits and have a crack at playing finals."
