Wilson claimed the Roos' best and fairest from older brother Damien on Friday night.

Coach Peter German has stated publicly the 20-year should be a leading contender for the league best and fairest and while head of football Craig Spencer agrees, he believes the quiet achiever's nature could count against him.

"Some players talk a lot and the umpires therefore know them, but Cam Wilson doesn't say much on the field, he just gets his job done," Spencer revealed.

"If he were more vocal, I reckon the umpires would notice him more.

"But as far as getting the job done for Corowa-Rutherglen every week, he pretty much won every stat, possessions, tackles, hard ball gets.

"He would have been our best player in five of the first six games."

Wilson's effort is even more meritorious, given it was his first year out of the Murray Bushrangers.

"It was a big honour to win the Jim Sandral Medal, we're distant cousins with the Sandrals," Cam Wilson offered.

Five-time club best and fairest and three-time Morris medallist Jim Sandral attended the function.

The Morris Medal will be held on November 12, where Wangaratta's Abraham Ankers will start favourite, but Wilson's ferocious work ethic should guarantee votes.

"It's something I've always worked towards (working hard), not much height there, that's for sure (he's 171cms), it's something of a disadvantage, the height, but you've just got to find other ways to deal with it, so just running all the time and having a big pre-season, that's my strengths," he explained.

"I try and fly under the radar (he said when quizzed on being quiet), my brother talks the most, he's been a coach, so I just keep quiet."

And that's highlighted when he doesn't give his older sibling some cheek about the win.

"No, I haven't, I'm always runner-up to him, my first year, I was 16, I came runner-up to him at Rutherglen."
