Francis Bourke Award - Raines

Well done to Sugar.

I was initially shocked but looking back on it, Kane probably was our best player especially in the second half of the year.

Really led by example and showed many of the boys how it was done.

The thing that is hard to judge about B&F's is that it is the coaching staff that vote and they also know what they have asked the player to do in a certain game. So for us sitting up in the stands we make think someone hasnt contributed all that much in a game but it may be the total opposite to what Wallace and Co think if that player has taken another out of the game.

Great effort by Rainsey to get second.

Congrats and well done to Captain Sugar      .

Reckon Sugar came home with a rush in the second half of the year. Simmo jumper-punching Riewoldt    and being suspended would have cost him votes.

Awesome effort by Raines to come 2nd.
Petts is improving nicely as a dangerous HF.
Another high finish from Joel to back up his 2 B&Fs.
Also congrats to Foley on winning the most improved and Polo best debutant  .
Well done Boys  .

It was a very good night - bloody good crowd they said around 700

They honoured Chubba Kellaway, Staffy and Chaf

Chaf presented the Bill Cosgrove/Jenkins medal to Polo.

The Francis Bourke award is for the player deemed to have shown all the qualities we admired in Francis Bourke - courage, the 1 percenters etc - it's awarded by the coaches and was presented by St Francis himself

In the biggest shock of the evening - one Matthew Richardson won the Michael Roach medal for being the Clubs leading goal kicker 11th time the big fella done it and sets a new record at the Club

More tomorrow - I am stuffed

PS: When I left one very very proud OERite (their boy had a sensational night and gave an excellent speech as runner up ) - Moi was starring on the dance floor

[Mr Magic]

Totally astounded by that decision.

Top 5 sure, but first????

Surely J Bowden, Simmonds or Raines had better seasons?

Congrats but it has to said, this would be the biggest turn up in years.
