J White for me, with Mcdonald shortly behind

J White for me, with Mcdonald shortly behind

White will win it by a country mile, from Junior and Godfrey

junior or jones in a close race

newton best 1st year

Ooooooh... Interesting...

It depends on the form of a lot of players who return from injury...

But I'd say it's gonna be something like this...

1: JMac. Done the yards eary in the year and even now. Everyone else has severely off days, JMac doesn't.

2: Bell. Was leading the B&F at the split round. If he comes back and picks up where he left off he'll threaten, but is more likely to end up around the middle of the top 10.

3: Jones. Played nearly every game and while sometimes he doesn't get the big stats, he just keeps going and going and going. Deserves to be rated highly, and will keep getting better. One of those players who's deficiencies somehow make them a better player, a la West and Harvey. He is slowish, lacks penetration yet because of this his work ethic is stronger.

4: Bruce. Was the big stat getter early in the year, and if his kicking boot wasn't smeared in grease, he'd have been leading at the mid-way mark. One thing that may hurt him is that when he comes back from a few weeks off, he tends to take a while to get going again. Maybe an endurance thing...

5: White. Keeps racking up the tap-outs, but I'd have him this low because early in the year he wasn't quite doing enough.

6: Godfrey. I'd love to see this. We all love to see a battler get his dues. And he's a battler. He's been badly beaten a couple of times, but in those heart-breaking few games we got close in, he was one of the architects of destruction with his tagging. Godfrey in our top 10... who'd of thunk?!

7: Green. Solid but unspectaclar, and a few injuries. Got towelled once or twice, but had a few good games. Like it or lump it he's a leader at the moment.

8: Bate. Had a spectacular 6 week run there of being a devastating CHF. The lack of good players this year could mean that will be enough. The start of the year hurt him though.

9: Brown. Started to pick up a LOT of touches, and while he's not doing much, he's doing more than many others. Scraping the bottom of the barrell here.

10: Davey. Has been appalling and scintillating in equal amounts. I daresay his last month will be some of his best work. If he has any kind of character that is.

Apologies to...

Bizzell, Carroll, Petterd, Sylvia, Ward, Wheatley

I reckon best first year player will DEFINITELY be Petterd. 9 games and more hope in that package than any of our newest and finest.

agree with Clint Bizkit

Jones and McDonald would have established a small gap on the rest by now I would have thought.

McDonald for me.........does this bloke ever not turn up to play?

There are a lot of players on our list who could learn a hell of a lot from James McDonald!

wheatley,bell,bizzel- most improved

TOP 5

MCDONALD : Mr Consistancy I wish we had more players like him.

BRUCE : He was easily our best player in the first half of the year but that doesn't mean it that it was very good. Bruce and McDonald have been head and shoulders above the rest.

GREEN : Has been consistant enough to keep him up there.

JONES : As above.

WHITE : As above.

They shouldn't even have it this year no one deserves it. The sooner this year is over the better.

Personally I think it should be with-held this year due to lack of interest and no worthy canditates.

Jones is the only player who has had a consistent season.

Jmac quite easily, averaging 23.9 disposals and 6.1 tackles per game, Jonesy will follow.

1. J Mac

Has tried his guts out all year and has easily been the Heart and Soul of 2007

2. Jones

Much admiration for this young blokes season.... Been in and under and the 2nd and 3rd efforts should not go un-noticed

Raffle for the rest of the positions....

If Cameron Bruce wins it, then the system is so wrong it's not funny!

It will be mca.

But gotta go Jones.

Agreed, and the same goes for Jeff White.

Clearly, nobody has had a really outstanding season, one deserving of winning the club's champion award.

This year's award should be more about reward for hard effort and consistency, than anything else.

With that in mind:

1- Junior

2- Jones

3- Bell

Positions 2 and & 3 depend on how these 2 perform for the rest of the season.

If Belly is still recovering from the hammy, he might be overtaken by Godfrey or White. Whereas Jonesy could still finish first.

All 3 players deserve to be recognised for their solid efforts throughout the year. They've all stood up despite being part of a complete rabble of a team.

Other awards:

Best first year player- Petterd

Most improved- Bell?

Best clubman- McLean? (I think you have to be under 25 to win the award???)

Agree totally with Petterd to get the 1st Yr award....

Most improved would have to be Jonesy, but would not surprise me if Bell gets it.... Roughie : PJ

Best Clubman - Jonesy again!

Would not surprise me if Jonesy cleans up at Awards night....
