Hey all, with the home and away season coming to an end and it becoming more obvious that finals are out of reach, I figured I'd start the discussion about woosha medal predictions. What's everyone's thoughts and wild predictions? For me it's a top three of Harley, Baker, and Ginbey, not sure on order but leaning to Baker winning.

Throw at the stumps are Hedwards in the top 10 and McCarthy being in the top 5 for votes per game played average.
 
BEst guess:
1 Baker
2 Ginby
3 Hedwards
4 Harley
5 Graham

TMAC coming home with a wet sail but too few games to really threaten but makes top 10 along with Tom Cole:oops:
 
Baker, Ginbey tight second, Harley, Edwards, Houghy I'd like it to be; Duggan and Graham will inevitably make the top 5 though. Think Maric and Cripps make the top 10. McCarthy could genuinely win it next year.

You would hope its the 20million dollar man winning it next year
 
1. Ginbey
2. Baker
3. Daylight
4. Hough
5. Duggan

No idea who to put at 5. Edwards has had the best season of the rest for nine but hasn't played enough games. Gov would be up there until the Melbourne game. Harley has had some great games but has also let us down at times earlier in the season. Graham, Cripps, Ryan, Maric and McCarthy should all poll well.
 
Top three:

Baker
Ginbey
Daylight

Rest of the top ten
Hough
Harley
Duggan
Graham
Edwards
Ryan
Hewett
Cripps

Best emerging talent: …maybe Hall? Bit of a wide open category this year. Dewar, Shanahan and Archer the other main contenders

Best clubman: usually an injured player who’s helped out despite being injured, so maybe Yeo.

Beagles B&F: Edwards-Baldwin.

Duggan and Graham likely to finish 5th and 6th. Duggan's played every game 'till now and no-one between he and Graham seems likely to be a regular vote getter, so even if Graham goes past him for 5th, he'll take 6th above the likes of Ryan/Kelly/Flynn etc
 


The John Worsfold Medal is being held this Saturday on the same night Fremantle play their home final

Due to the way the award is voted on, games played is a solid indicator of who the winner is likely to be. So this season:

• 23 Games - Baker, Ginbey
• 22 Games - Maric, Hough
• 21 Games - Duggan, Cripps
• 20 Games - Kelly, Hewett, Brockman, Ryan
• 19 Games - Reid
• 18 Games - Graham, Cole, Flynn

Nobody else played more than 16 games

My top 5
1st - Liam Baker
2nd - Rueben Ginbey
3rd - Harley Reid
4th - Liam Duggan
5th - Brady Hough

Good shout, would probably have Hough over Duggan if not for the midfield experiment, he had a few poor games because of that.

McCarthy definitely top 3 for votes in post bye games.

Geez getting it done early. Thought they'd maybe wait until after finals! Will get onto the board voted POTY for the following week or so.
Maybe a sign of the urgency to clean the ship.

Get all the 2025 formalities out of the way so those who won't be there next year can move on.

There definitely feels like there is alot of movement happening at Lathlian at the moment

Getting them away from the club for their mandatory break as early as possible means they can come back for preseason too.
 
The players probably wouldn’t want to go out for after drinks at the casino if the dockers win , as they’ll be a lot of purple at the cas.
 
1. Baker
2. Ginbey (a big gap then to 3rd)
3. Hough (a big gap then to 4th)
4. Graham
5. Duggan
6. Reid
7. McCarthy
8. Ryan
9. Cole
10. Edwards
