Georgievski was a bustling presence at left back for Victory, competing strongly all night and pushing forward whenever possible.

But his efforts weren’t enough for Victory, who lost Sunday’s decider 4-2 on penalties after the match ended 1-1 after extra time.

The leading contenders for the prize were all Victory players, with veterans Carl Valeri and Alan Baro also stand-out performers.

Sydney FC midfielder Josh Brillante was awarded the broadcaster’s man of the match award.

A crestfallen Georgievski accepted the medal without speaking on the dais.

He joins Jacob Burns (2012) and joint-winner Iacopo La Rocca (2014) as winners of the prize in a losing team.
