well done Jack

Yep, well done young fella.

Reckon Stephenson was a bit lucky myself. Played well enough to be right up there, but for mine both Doedee and Witherden are going to be better long term players.


Also reckon that Rayner was significantly better, and will be better, than both Henry and Florent.

5 goals against the top 8 and 4 of them came in one game vs the godees... hmm  Look a quality young player but has been massively overhyped - dodoe or whatever his name is had the better season for mine

The award is for the best young player of the year, not who is going to be the best player in the future.
The kid deserves the award.

On that criteria, I'd definitely go with Doedee then.

I’m assuming you have watched every Crows and Collingwood game for the year then to make your assumption?... and Brisbane games too going off your first post??
