[thetank]

MVP: Ablett Jnr. Teams without him sweated each week unless he was injured.
Best backmen: Goddard.
Best mid: GAJ, then Swan.
Best ruck: Mitch Clark. He gave anyone that picked him up around R8-10 (or even afterwards) a huge advantage. Everyone else had Cox or Sandi.

Best rookie: Broughton
Most improved: Duffield / Higgins.
Coaches award: Marc Murphy. Played every game, worst score of the season was 98 points.
Best trade u have done: Petrenko -> Broughton. Did the trade to free ~$100k and get a good bench player...ended up with a top 5 back.
Worst trade u have done: Plenty. R2: Raines to Ellis. R5 Leuenberger to Meesen. R7: Trading out Ablett (learned a lesson there).
Player you most wished you picked up: J. Brown (for Krak), Ziebell from the start (had Anthony, didn't want 2 Kanga players), Mitch Clark (for Cox).
Best poster on BFSC this year:

Best ruck: H-Mac, sorry Cox, u got injured
Best fwd: Chapman
Best rookie: Broughton

Coaches award: Josh Drummond, keeps on churning out solid scores and only missing what 1 or 2 games with injury. Solid effort Josh.
Best trade u have done: Krakouer to Didak. Hill to Enright was pretty solid too.
Worst trade u have done: Hmmm, haven't made too many mistakes this year. Probably Higgins to ROK when i shoulda done Krakhead to ROK. Maybe Gaz < Sewell instead of NDS/Montagna.
Player you most wished you picked up: Swan, NDS
Best poster on BFSC this year:m8trix for his BigFooty SC ladder.
Who will win the premiership: Hard to go past Saints but go Cats!
Who will win the brownlow: Don't care as long as it's not Goodes. Probably Montagna. Altho i wouldn't mind a little flutter on Marc Murphy, reckon he could be a surprise packet.
