Who do you think should be awarded the "clubman" award in Season 2005?
With all the players going down like nine pins this year, the players who have stood up through thick and thin and busted a gut this season are:
Simon Prestigiacomo - outstanding season under adverse circumstances
Nick Maxwell - improved markedly in season 2005 and even showed glimpses of form in the forward line
Rhys Shaw - come of age and proved doubters wrong and played consistent footy pre injury) despite personal issues (sister in car accident)
David Fanning - a boy thrown in to do a mans job and despite getting physically punished every time he runs out onto the park, continues to present. Fantastic job for a rookie in impossible circumstances.
Nathan Buckley - always the clubman, hasnt missed a beat despite missing 3/4 of the season through injury
James Clement - natural leader and probable Copeland Medallist
Personally I'd give it to Fanning for work effort above and beyond his ability at this stage of his career.
