Up the Coasters Post Season Awards 2024

[Bender_]

Duggan officially our best player.

 

[Ochre]

Duggan wins it. Happy for him as he's a good club man.

However, how long is long enough before we're allowed to claim that he's the worst JWM of all time?


Got 2x AA's over there, and he beats them? No from me dog. Voting system needs to change. I think we've discussed this before, it rewards whoever plays the most games.

[Miguel Sanchez]

Looking at that season list of votes it brings into stark reality how far off our youth depth is.
Players like Chess, Longy, Maric, Jilliams, etc need to start pushing up to that top 15 space.
Too many of them lingering around the bottom with players like Rotham.

Long was top 10 last year, he only played seven games this year. Williams was 18th which is a pretty good achievement for a young KPP in his third season.

Witherden and Hunt were top 10 last year and both dropped away, Jones was top 10 the year before. That’s some good examples of guys that are getting slowly phased out.

But yeah, other than Hough, Reid and Ginbey the top 15 doesn’t have a lot of youth representing.

 

[THE A5]

About half a dozen blokes stiff. Can’t question his fight and even leadership but not really deserving winner for me

 

[nameless]

Pathetic year from kelly considering what we payed for him

He's finished 7th, 6th, 3rd, 1st and 10th in our B&F since coming across.
Sure we may have anticipated more top 3 finishes especially in a poor team, but what we "payed"(sic) for him he's returned on for most years - can't think who else in this team is playing above their pay grade at minute.

 

[EagleMan87]

Bloody hell might as well fold the club if Duggans viewed as our best player this year. He’s ok but the bloke couldn’t even tie up Jackson Nelsons boot laces

 

[Dark Sharks]

Ok campaigners, i skimmed past a WCE FB post and it was celebrating Duggan as being THE medalist, so settle down.

Top 10 changes order a bit but allowing for games played the same players make top 10

 

[mat11]

Not a lot of love from the coaches for H Edwards, thought he applied himself very well when he played

 

[Keys]

Votes handed out by 5 members of the Match Committee to each player on a 0-1-2-3 basis

Without knowing how harshly they judge, you’d think players would want to be getting at least a 1 from each member for each game

So the cutoff for an acceptable year is 5 votes per game. Only 10 made that benchmark and one other (Ginbey with 4.83) got close

Lot of room for improvement in 2025

Says a bit about why Trew got delisted and why Maric was the one dropped for Gaff to get a game.
Witherden should get another contract based off this too, the match committee obviously thinks he played ok.

Fantastic job embodying everything that's wrong with social media these days

 

[Dark Sharks]

I'm actually on night shift gaiz.

Flat out and don't have time to respond to everyone's words of encouragement individually.

 

[WCEswift]

We have been awful in all those years...its not hard to be top cherry when you sit on top of poo poo platter
We payed for a lambo and got a balinese moped after schoolies.

No one has earned their pay in the last 5 years.

 

[random lurker]

Hutchinson with a 10 vote game at the end there

 

[Avalor]

I watched the whole affair - endless boring speeches as usual, but I thought Ryan Daniels absolutely nailed the MCing.

Ah didn't know if it was 5 peele giving 0 to 3 or 3 giving 0 to 5.

Seeing a few 2s and 3s in the updates really shows that a lot has pretty terrible years.

 

[Barrybran]

Houghy, in the top 5 is HUGE.
Hopefully cracks the top 3 next year.

Take that Champion Data!

Looks about right too. I was surprised to see Duggan finish fourth. This makes more sense. Also highlights just how top-heavy we were this year.

 

[RookiePick]

I think Cole and Duggan polling so highly is still a concern. Both good average playersat best.

Either a sign that our list has a loooong way to go or that our voting panel continue to over rate their favourites.

Well done Gov, Yeo and the Snake

 

[KERRPOW]

Also confirms they love petch...who has non flipping clue

 

[ioppolo]

Liam Duggan in fourth and Jamie Cripps in sixth. Realise they benefit from playing in all the games this year but I think the coaching staff overrate both of those blokes.

For mine they weren’t our fourth and sixth best players this year.

And on the flip side, this board apparently rates TK much higher than the coaches at WCE. He was top five in the board's MVP I think.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

While I agree he hasn't been mind blowing while being here, what we had to pay to bring him home I still think was kind of borderline fair enough. We were bringing in a big powerful mid who just came off finishing second in the Brownlow AND had kicked 48 goals in his two seasons at the Cats. 48 goals in two seasons as a mid is insanity.

What disappoints me is he's only kicked 31 goals with us and only 4 goals 9 behinds this year. And now being 30 I don't think he's gonna be getting any better than how he is right now.
