Fair season that.Definitely Dustin Martin's 2017 season, which was possibly the most dominant individual season ever played considering he wasn't a stay-at-home full forward in an era of crude defensive strategies.
1. Brownlow medal with record votes. The highest individual award in the Australian game.
2. Coaches' Association Champion Player Award (some consider this the Brownlow's 'more accurate' cousin)
3. AFL Players MVP award. Prone to hype bias, but this still means his peers voted him the best.
4. Gary Ayres Award for player of the finals series. Finals performances carry a far greater weight than non-finals in terms of difficulty and reputation.
5. Premiership medallion. Not an individual award but I doubt Richmond could have won it without Martin.
6. Norm Smith Medal, becoming the first man ever to win a Brownlow and a Normie in the same season. Many players and fans would give up a Brownlow or even two for a Normie, such is the greatness of being the best player in the most important game.
7. Club best-and-fairest, just to top it off casually.
Second best. Hard to go past Martin especially after that September.Danger wasn't even the best player of 2017.
It was 1984 I thinkPaul Salmon in the early nineties before the knee incident with Raines was probably the most dominant start to a season i have witnessed. He was so far ahead of his time no one could match up on him, scary good.
Thanks mate, but i just got ten years older as a result.It was 1984 I think
One that rarely gets a mention in the same vein is Tony LockettPaul Salmon in the early nineties before the knee incident with Raines was probably the most dominant start to a season i have witnessed. He was so far ahead of his time no one could match up on him, scary good.
