We know Julian Field won the Liston, and that Ben Atkin/Andrew Eccles drew in the Tatts Pokies player of the year award, but if you could choose a player to hand the “Player of the Year” award in the VFL, who would it be?
Player of the Year- Jeremy Clayton.
Usually brilliant. On an off day he's very good!
Personality of the Year- Steve Lawrence.
Never a dull moment when Steve's near the ball!
I'll bet he really turns it on in the big one this week.
Characters.. need a lot more of them in the VFL..
Steve Lawrence should be really fired up for the GF! How about Josh Gibson? Best afro in aussie rules footy. Always enjoyed watching Trent Bartlett, so hope he plays on another year.
From a Box Hill perspective (as usual :) ), Kristian Height has been a great addition to the club. Bit of a cult hero, if you will. Small bloke, but uses his body strength to get in the right position.
I've gone of on a bit of a tangent there, by focusing on the bloke that got the crowd going.
Box Hill's Steve Bailey is undervalued by the rest of the VFL (as seen by polling 0 votes in the Liston), but he has been one of the most influential players I've seen all season.
Finally - Josh Thurgood; skinny as a rake but throws his body around like he was 30 kgs heavier.
Jordan Doering for me. He has a bad day and still gets it 25 times. Jeremy Clayton is a match winner who deserves a crack at AFL level and would run a close second.
Grub, are you aware that Jeremy Clayton is a North Melbourne listed player.
Yeah i'm aware Shamus but I don't believe the Kangaroos have given him a decent go.
