Have any of the winners ever acknowledged the award publicly? _________________ Four legged animals good, two legged animals better |

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? _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

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. _________________ Est. 2002 |

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). _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

Can you win a "best young player" award at the age of 22 though?? _________________ "I am a great sage, equal of heaven.

So, I'll assume the answer is No. _________________ Four legged animals good, two legged animals better |

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. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

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. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

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. _________________ Donny.
It's a game. Enjoy it. |

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. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |
