And it's back!
To recap, last year Dayne Beams finished his last season with the Lions by finally taking out the award after two second places with the lowest number of votes for a winner in the four years of voting (36). Harris Andrews was on top of the leaderboard prior to his untimely injury but he still managed to hang on to second place despite missing four games. Previous winner Stefan Martin finished equal third with Hugh McCluggage, the first of the young breed to crack it into the top three. Cameron Rayner capped off an excellent season by taking out rookie of the year.
We also broke the record for the most number of individual votes cast (1004) in the round 9 Hawthorn clash, eclipsing 948 votes from round 15, 2017.
Can Dayne Zorko add a third title to his trophy cabinet and if so, will I start calling this the "Dayne Award"? Will Charlie Cameron and Harris Andrews, fully fit and firing, make a strong run at the title? Is Lachie Neale the new man to beat since his move from Fremantle? And which of our draftees will make the most impression in the rookie of the year competition?
Former Player of the Year Winners:
2018 - Dayne Beams (36 votes)
2017 - Dayne Zorko (50 votes)
2016 - Dayne Zorko (50 votes)
2015 - Stefan Martin (53 votes)
