Congrats Tom, first of many.

The curse is dead.
Well done to all the winners, and place getters.
Re Wood, Minson and Higgins - I guess it just goes to show how little we understand about the roles players are being asked to play. I think most here had Wood down as having a good year.
Anyone able to post a complete set of results?

Congratulations Libba, well deserved.

Well done to young Tom and the other award winners.
Well deserved and a great
The votes are indicative off one of the not many positive's I got out of this season, the encouraging signs shown of our younger players standing up a majority of times when needed to.

It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.
Just picked up on that, myself. Shows that he's highly rated internally. Must be staying to script in his sacrificial team roles. Good sign that he's a quality footballer. He's not often in the conversation, but I think we can rest assured he'll be a good, good player for WBFC. Strikes me as a kid who really wants it.
Anyone make it to the night and have a report they wouldn't mind sharing?
All 3 of them played reserves at some stage, so I guess it's not surprising. I do wonder what specific parts of Wood's game they were so unhappy with. He got beaten one out quite a bit, so that's a pretty big cross against his name, then again so did nearly all our defenders.
Minson and Higgins were just pretty poor most of the season.

Staggered at Wood's poor polling in the B&F. I really enjoyed watching him this year.
Makes me wonder if the fact he is yet to re-sign is due to the fact the coaches don't rate him.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
Who says the coaches don't rate him? Is this fact? Didn't he play every game bar the 1 when he was dropped to VFL and the last game due to injury. Surely you can't judge the fact that he didn't rate highly in the B&F as a basis to suggest that the coaches don't rate him.
Congratulations also to Brett Goodes for the VFL b& f

Well done to Libba, fantastic season deservedly recognised - and still so young.
What I want to jump around about is Macrae - 2nd in a B&F in his second year? Just outstanding!! Ludicrous how good he already is.
