This award is a popularity contest IMO.  From memory Clarry was nowhere near it last year despite winning the AFLCA award.

Deep consideration for first year player award needed

Wow so the best first year player can not have played a game?

Pleased that JVR is our best first year play.  But how does he get there if he hasn't played a senior game?

 Whacking an unsuspecting opponent in the guts is very courageous, I guess.

Not what it used to be.  This award had a lot of status back in the day, really now just a bit of a [censored] take.  Coaches award is the one to win now.

So there's a reason why it's called best first year player.

Disco is in his 2nd year.

It's just a nomination on behalf of the club. None of our first year players have played a game, so they just have to pick the best of the bunch I guess.

Zorko put in a massive effort in the last round to pick up the "best captain" award.
