Good to see Alex Keath and Bailey Williams in the top 10. Very good both this year. Bailey Williams cementing that role in the half back line and Alex Keath proving very worthy deeper in our defence.

Congratulations Caleb! A fantastic season receiving some very well-deserved recognition with AA and a Charles Sutton Medal!
He averaged over 20 touches, 3.8 rebound 50s and 1.6 inside 50s. He was ranked 7th in the competition for total number of effective disposals, and as we all know this is his real point of difference.
IMO his best performance of the year was against Hawthorn, with 28 touches and a goal.
9 of the top 10 played over 16 games, highlighting how important consistency was in the shortened season in terms of gathering votes. I wonder if we will see someone like Boak beat Neale to the Brownlow, as Neale had a quiet patch towards the end of the season.
JJ, Bruce and Richards are the only other three players to play over 16 games, who didn't feature in the top 10. There's a fair bit of money and angst in those first two.
Congratulations to Caleb, and very happy for him. He is certainly deserving of a top three.
For all that the opposition throws at him every week, and with the added load of leading the team, I saw Marcus as our Best and Fairest over the year, and the player we could least afford to lose.
I reckon Libba had a better year than Bonti too, less flashy (do not mean that in a demeaning way, Bont is still a star for us) but just as influential.
Will be interesting to see who umps give most Brownlow votes to in our team.
Josie :)
Our day will come
And we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy
Just like '54 again.
