Walker won the B grade count ahead of Perrin Hicks!
Pratt won the A grade count with a very consistent year, ended up on 20 votes.
Zac Ewer ended up on 18 votes, a fantastic effort coming from the bottom side that only won 2 games.
Matt Hodge finished up 3rd on 17 votes with a 3 vote game in the final round.
Well done to all award winners last night and bring on the finals this weekend!
Well that doesnt give it much credit. Hodge was OK by his standards - didnt make our best players though. D Iljcesen was clearly best.
Same discussion every year, but what you have to remember is that the people picking the votes have not got the football knowledge to know the ins and outs. As an example i think Zac Ewer got votes against Encounter Bay (correct me if I am wrong) He was injured and sat in the pocket most of the day and we lost by 10+ goals. Having said that looking back over the years, it is generally a great indication of who is the best and Pratt and this years top 3 is no different. He was many peoples tip and had a great year and Hodge and Ewer are quality players
