    Individual Honours - 2014

    2014 Charlie Sutton Medal will be held on September 3 - more detail here.

    This got me thinking, who has been consistent enough to take it out this year? The last five medals have been taken out by Griffen and Boyd, but they have not been consistent enough this year to take it out again.

    So, who will take out the medal this year? Has Libba been consistent enough? How about Picken, he has been very good this year? Macrae has been an accumulator of the ball but is that enough to take votes. Dahl and Murphy have also been very good this year as has Higgins. I would love to see Murphy win.

    I think its going to be a very close call and with two rounds to go may well determine the eventual winner.

    Yes it's a bit up in the air this year and perhaps a first time recipient will get the nod. Picken, Macrae and Murph have been good this year. What about Wood as a smoky? Does he get enough of it?

    Wood has also had a good year, but as you say, has he had it enough.

    I would love Bob to win but that's probably just me being sentimental..if not one of the young ones would be good

    I reckon it's a close call between Libba, Macrae, Picken and Murphy. My tip....Libba. My hope....Murph.
    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Would be interesting to see the leaderboard for the Marmo. Have the Marmo votes been fairly close to the mark previous years in terms of best and fairest voting?

    Hasn't been updated for most of the season. I guess people are busy.

    I think Murph has had a very consistent year. Am I right that he has never won it?

    Earlier in the year I would have said Libber and Macrae would fight it out but their form lines have each tailed off. It makes you think it's been a funny old year with no one being a standout.

    Libba's done enough I think. Could be the first of many wins
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    I would love to see either Picken or Murphy win it. Both are such great representations of our club and quality people too.
    I don't think Wood has played quite enough games to accumulate the votes but he definitly deserves most improved.

    Club B & F's are not all about possessions. Role players generally poll well in awards voted on by the Match Commitee. For this reason I expect both Pickens and Wood to poll well. For sheer consistency, I think Murph will win.

    Libba for me, the start of what may very well be the start of a Scott West-esque monopoly

    I think he might have a missed a few too many games with being dropped and injury.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    I think Libba is the clear favourite to take it out. He hasn't been any better than last year when he came second, but he hasn't been any worse either, and Griff has been hampered.

    I'll echo the thoughts of others in saying it would be fabulous to see Murph pick up a best and fairest. If I had to pick an order, I'd go:

    1 - Libba
    2 - Macrae
    3 - Murph
    4 - Dahlhaus
    5 - Picken

    I think your order looks about right, but yeah, I would love it if Murph won.
