Have any of the winners ever acknowledged the award publicly?

Great work, CC! One question, though – how did Brayden Maynard (1 vote) beat Rupert Wills (3 votes), Darcy Moore (2 votes) and Josh Smith (12 votes!) for best young player?

| Thank you, Brayden is the only teenager in that list and played the most games but the main reason is my wife thinks he is the hottest. |

Brayden may have been the 6th best player week in week out (theoretically). The others had 'top 5 on ground' standout performances to grab more votes. Hence why Brownlow medalists don't always win club B&F.

 fair enough.
In any case, backmen get a pretty rough deal in the Nick's BB voting (as they do in most AFL awards), so good call, I guess! (Though I still would have gone for Smith over Maynard, just).

Can you win a "best young player" award at the age of 22 though??

So, I'll assume the answer is No.

Yeah, it's a no unfortunately. We made a fair push to get it done a few years ago (even to the extent of running a PayPal account to collect money for a trophy), but it never quite came together. From memory, the club didn't show a great deal of interest.

Does anyone know whether he had injury (niggles) concerns thru out the year? |
He was hampered with hamstring troubles before the start of the home and away season, so it's possible that this affected him more than we anticipated.
Also with higher expectations after a good season in 2015, this may have resulted in supporters critiquing him more harshly and hence him not polling as well as the previous year.

At last !!
A congrats to Pendles - 12 days after we posted him as the GB Medal winner.
I'm puzzled. We have over 4000 members and not one posted to acknowledge Pendles win, until Jezza, a few minutes ago.

I would have done it sooner, but I'm trying to catch up on general discussion posts that I've missed recently due to work commitments.
