Since 2003 where it’s been awarded. The award is based off of the best player inside their first two seasons, counting the votes they get across that time. However, there is no age or game limit, so a first year player could win this if they have more votes than the rest eligible, both Newcombe and Daicos got all of their votes in 2022.

Hmmmm.

Looking at the award there are no specific rules around whether it is restricted to only 2nd year players, aside from the comment 'in recognition of the player based on performances in his first two seasons of AFL Football' - which led me to conclude it was in fact restricted to second year players only.

I'm not sure they'd considered the possibility of a First Year Player polling more Coaches votes than every player who is in their second year in the system, and I doubt they would have awarded it to Daicos two years running had he have polled more votes than Newcombe in 2022.

LDU really 15? Ahead of Sheezel as North's best player?

Sheezel ranking was well off.

Without a doubt top 10.

For me he's top 5.

Hit us with your Top 5.

I'm keen to see who you leave out from Daicos, Bont, Cripps, Heeney and Neale. Then you have players like Butters, Serong, Andrews, Taylor, Greene, Cameron, Curnow, Gulden, Warner, Merrett, Gawn, etc.

Could just mean you can't win it in your second year?

Whoever came second to Daicos in 2023 likely would have just ended up the winner.

Still just speculating however.

Re: Newcombe. Hawthorn has been off Broadway in regards to prime time exposure and finals for pretty much the duration of his whole career to this point.
I don't necessarily begrudge opposition supporters who still don't rate him, however hopefully they all saw his performances in our 2 finals this year and realised what we've been praising about him since early 2022.
