to be honest that list was sadly very very very long without having to stretch my memory that hard .. Miles , Ledger, Johnson, Archer, Ferguson, Begley, Winmar, Howard, Smith x2 , Hyne, Pattison, Allen........

Miles got 2 games. Maybe we can have a "Runs for Miles " trophy, fast but useless, Nominee, Nathan Wright.
Forgot about Johnson and Archer.
Fergason long term rookie.
Begley had already played 27 games for Brisbane.
Nick Winmar got 2. Nick Won the "Brad Howard surprise draft choice" award in 2009. No nominations this year. ( Ben Long got it last year ).
Heyne got 3
Pattison got 5 games, taking out the "Rix" in 2010.

Thankfully this year we have no nominations for the Lovett Grenade. Carlisle won it the year we drafted him.

The "Ledger Legend" award for player who will be great one day, Freeman and Goddard get the nomination for that one too.

How about...

The SH*T Season Award!

Nominations are: St Kilda FC

The Winner: St Kilda FC


That's kind of short and hard and not within the spirit of these awards.
Saints had some remarkable achievements.
3rd in the Handball contest, not just on the ground but also in shifting the blame.
2nd in the Uncontested Possession contest. Each player gets a signed photograph of Fiona.
2nd in Disposal Efficiency........seriously? That's where they were "TRYING" to kick it?
4th for Bouncing the ball. Bounce bounce bounce, basketballers call it dribbling, so they all share a jar of spit for a prize.

It doesn't matter that we were bottom or close to it for other useless crap like hitouts, clearances, rebounds, inside 50's and tackles , goal accuracy , and goals, because we're good at handballing it accurately to a guy who will bounce it before missing a goal.
 
Our ladder position sums up our season regardless of how we look at stats. Cellar dwellers. Let's hope 2019 sees us get real about success.

Dude we can't name any of our awards after players from other clubs.
I already had the Gehrig Retirement award , nominee's Armo and Gilbert.
 
hahaha i know Luke ill tell him he has an award named after him he will be stoked :)

I was pretty pissed when we de-listed him to be honest, thought he had potential when not many on the list did, but i think he had injury concerns in the WAFL the following season anyway. He did win the grand final sprint for us though.
 
The Tom Curren award for way too many years on a list: Minchington.

Tom Ledger “just play him in the guts FFS” award: Blake Acres.

Gilbert has to get the Fraser Gehrig. A hurling Irishman went past him this year.

Any nominations for the “really strong in the contest” award which of course would be handed out by Richo.

Curren joined the team the same year as Minchington, so he doesn't get the honour of naming it.
I called it the McQualter, a guy who was added to the rookie list for his second time, the same time as Curren and Minchington.
McQualter was drafted, delisted after 3 , rookied, promoted, delisted after 3 years then rookied again for a total of 8 years with the club.

The Eddy Roberts memorial "strong in the contest" trophy. There are a number of nominee's for this award, but the coach should make the decision. The winner gets a lifelike photograph of Robbie Eddison's head on a stick.

The "Baker" will not be issued this season. The best nomination "Nathan Brown" was far to obvious, and didn't show enough finesse to deserve the award. The prize, a footy show with stops sharpened to points, will be held over until a deserving recipient is found.

he now coaches a private school boys under 16's team here in Perth and lets everyone of his players know he won the Grand final sprint :)
real nice guy , if you ask him he was honestly shocked he got picked by the saints as he thought it was a million to one shot ... he loved every second of it but knew pretty early on his skills were a fair way off the guys he was in the team with
