Cam deserved to win from Hawk so a just result. I’d love to know how Mitch finished top 5. Especially given he missed games with the hammy incl the game he hurt it. Duncs was just going for much of the year. No way had the year of Menegola.

Pretty simple - Geelong played 21 games this year and a players best 20 games are counted towards the b&f votes

Duncan only missed 1 game due to injury, so basically looking at 19 games for Duncan versus say 20 games for Menegola. Duncan really stood up in the finals, and would have been our best player across our last 3 finals; so not really surprising to see him make a late charge at things

From the club website, Note: Votes taken into account for players best 20 games of the season.

Guthrie's speech (or at least what they posted online)- high praise for the coach

“It’s a big honour. Looking at the honour boards every day and seeing the names up there, I feel privileged and proud to be involved in the club and to be recognised like this,” Guthrie said.

“I would like to congratulate Tom and Mark on outstanding seasons and a lot of our other teammates are in the same boat. I don’t think there was one standout player for the year. This award could have gone to many others.

“I’d like to thank my teammates for their support. It really was a season where we had to rely on each other. We were away for a long time together and I think everyone really enjoyed each other and we stayed a united team.

“I thank all of the coaches for putting the plan together for our team to thrive on the park. You put in a lot of hours and all the boys really appreciate it. In particular I’d like to give a big thank you to Scotty for being a great coach and a great person around the club for the last 10 years. I couldn’t imagine playing under another coach. I really enjoy our relationship. I’d also like to thank two of the assistant coaches I work really closely with in Matthew Knights and Nigel Lappin for all the feedback and guidance they have given me.

“Thanks to all the staff that came away in the hub and those that remained at home. They put their lives on hold to ultimately get us into the position we got into on Saturday night. Unfortunately, we couldn’t go all the way, but I can’t give enough thanks for what they did.

“A big thank you to my partner Lauren (and her daughter) Carmen for coming along to the hub and supporting me, and the rest of my family and friends for being involved in my football journey.

“To the supporters at home that have been there all year. We can’t thank you enough and what you have done this year has been absolutely outstanding.”
