i wasnt a fan of Jack Ross in past years, but thought his year was certainly better than 21st position. How Pickett, Graham or Hopper fared better is beyond me.

The players did not seem enthusiastic at all, and i hope they open up to the fans.


Award lost all credibility the year Hackson won it..... :shh

Well deserved! Fantastic season contributing both in attack and defence. Tidy up his field kicking a tad and he will go to the next level  :clapping

Agree

Said yesterday I thought it would an interesting count

Ross being so low is a surprise and I'd suggest Baker and to a lesser extent Balta not finishing top 5 is even bigger surprise

there was one but they haven't put it up yet

Pretty sure it was on the social media platform formally known as Twitter last night but I couldn't find it this morning
