While it was a disappointing season on a team level, Dogs fans, players and other characters come together tonight to celebrate the individual achievements of those who have donned the red, white and blue in 2017.
Club preview
Player B&F predictions
Player 'Most Improved' predictions
Unfortunately I doubt there's a stream this year, but if anybody knows for sure please post and let everyone know.
Our board's Ching award has Jack Macrae (51 votes) by the narrowest of margins over Marcus Bontempelli (50 votes), with Toby McLean (33), Luke Dahlhaus (27), Caleb Daniel (25) and Lachie Hunter (18) fighting for the remaining place.
My top five for the B&F:
- Jack Macrae
- Marcus Bontempelli
- Toby McLean
- Lachie Hunter
- Zaine Cordy
- Liam Picken - struggled on return from injury and had an inconsistent season, however, still ended as our (equal) leading goalkicker and adapted to a new role. Coaches will view his season more positively than many others.
- Matt Suckling - BF Bulldogs' favourite whipping boy (okay second favourite) played all 22 games, was second at the club for marks and kicks, third for rebound 50s, third for bounces and second for inside 50s, along with top ten for disposal efficiency and one percenters. Suckling will surprise some with a top ten - or perhaps even higher - finish.
For most improved, I'd have Bailey Dale by a whisker over Toby McLean.
