2017 Keith ‘Bluey’ Truscott Memorial Trophy

[Jaded No More 57,583]

How's Viney?! What a leader! 

[P-man 13,154]

Hibberd not top five? He made All Australian! LOL

[Cheap Seats 3,300]

I knew the kid had a good year but god damn to win the b&f in his second year.

Well done Clarry

[Pates 9,536]

Clarry second year B&F is an awesome achievement, the kid has such an great future ahead of him. 

Hibberd not in top 5 boggles the mind. 

Having said that deserving accolades to all top 5 places. Nev Jetta’s 5th placing is one of the stories of the year. Great stuff from him. 

Will be interesting to see the top 10.

Hibberd missed a few games at the start of the year, but still, so did Jones, Viney and Lewis. I know they are the coaches and and all that, but bloody hell, that is ridiculous.

It's a staggeringly poor decision. Absolutely absurd. Viney the second best player this year? Spare us please. He looked embarrassed to accept it.

Hibberd finished 6th

Well done Clarry. 

Had a black mark against his name in the preseason and bounced back to win our B&F. 

2nd year player and now our best. Huge achievement.

Jones: wishes "Wattsy" all the best, no matter what happens

A class act. They're the survivors (with JT) since the Bailey years, been through a lot together.

Jordan Lewis finishes equal third. Must say I'm surprised he finished that high. He was decent, but not outstanding.

Do people not understand how important Lewis was to this team? 

Most important recruit for 10 years

Hibberd must surely have been pipped for 5th.

But well done Oliver. Scary to think what he could be if he keeps going the way he is.

He was sensational considering he could barely walk for most of the year. 

This award is about more than just stats. Viney played his role as did Lewis which is why he won the votes. 

 

[goodwindees 2,117]

Viney must have been given votes for playing when far from 100% fit because he had a lot of poor games when obviously not fit and when you add those to his missed games this is a horrific result.

WTF!

Viney 2nd?

Either Hibberd or Clarry not even top 5?!

Surprised he didn't win it.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Pretty cute speech from Clarry. What a great lad!

[Jaded No More 57,583]

Stellar effort from Hannan!

Good thing Oliver is a superstar because gees he's not much of a public speaker ?

How does Lewis get more votes than Hibberd?

Yeah nah. Crazy stuff. Hibberd did a lot more than pad his stats. 

Are we really debating the craziness of our only All Australian player not making the top five at the expense of Viney and Lewis who missed chunks of the year?

Was thinking the same for Neal-Bullen. Just missed out on the top ten.

Lucky Clayton can play footy that's  all  ill say.

Obviously the coaches didn't think Hibbo filled his role as well as they wished. It's hard for us to judge. 

But look at the top 5- all guys who set standards and lead by example. Coincidence? I think not! 

 

Hibberd 3 votes behind Jetta, who was 6 votes behind Lewis/Jones I think - very close.
