Page was once again voted best on ground on Saturday, taking his tally to 16 votes from just four games for the Devils.
The classy winger/midfielder has also shown an ability to kick goals, as well as dominate on the ball, booting eight goals for the season to date.
East Point’s Daniel Tung remains in second position on 10 votes after failing to attract a vote at the weekend, while Sunbury’s Josh Burgess has joined Tung after polling maximum votes thanks to a six-goal haul.
