2015 WXV Awards and 2015 Rules Discussion

[Nige]

I'm clearing up all this confusion.

Vote for whoever you want.

With that said, vote for Jack Lonie and Hugh Goddard, you know you want to.

[Purple 77]

Having written everyone's teams up this year, I always noticed Lonie was a first choice at Cairo :P

If he played 14 games with me, I'd probably give him my Coaches Award haha

[RaisyDaisy]

Ossie's post above ^^^ has the WXV games played and also WXV average listed - so the average is based purely upon WXV games, doesn't count games that they were left out.

Ahhh ok then

Well then Hogan gets it in real life AND here

For the Coaches Award I nominate Elliot Yeo. He has stepped up his game dramatically this year, up about 20 points from last season. What make him really worthy of nomination is the fact that he has basically been Rio's rock in defence this year(along with Houli) without the other 3 starting backs; Mackie missing 6 games, Andrew Walker missing 8 and Harwood 12.

Well, time for PNL's Coaches Award. We had a few players step up this season such as Marley Williams, Zach Merrett and Tom Lynch who cemented their spot in what was a all-time best season for PNL. Special mention to Luke Hodge who out-performed what we expected of him and then some, certainly was a fine addition to the team. However, after discussing with Daz, we have decided that our Coaches Award this season goes to.....


Our Little Tank that could, Dylan Shiel. Seriously, check out those guns.

Behind Priddis and Nate Jones, we really lacked another midfield gun to help contend with the big boys of Worlds. In came Shiel's who put in his best season to date, including three scores over 130 within the first four rounds which is unreal! 9/14 of his games were over the 100 mark and helped build PNL to our best record yet early in the season. With Shiel injured latter half of the season, it showed in PNL's performances and our need to play the likes of Thomas Sheridan and Daniel Rich as our 3rd best Midfielder and even having to use Swan as a Midfielder. He was vital to our structure and hopefully will continue with his growth later years.

Tough decision this season and not as clear cut as our past two nominations (and winners ;)  in Chad Wingard and Matthew Jaensch. Lets hope Shiel can go for our 3-peat as he really was on his way to having a top notch year before injury struck.

[roo boys!]

Hard to go past old mate Jack Crisp for Coaches Award! After arriving at Collingwood as the steak knives in the Beams deal, I felt I'd take a punt trading him in, along with probably my coaches award runner up in Issac Smith, in return for Jack Riewoldt

Crisp had shown some signs of being a decent scorer at Brisbane, but all I'd hoped for 2015 was that he would get some games at Collingwood and be a handy backup mid. Little did I know!

To kick things off he got (a little unexpectedly!) FWD/MID dpp. Handy, I thought at the time

Then the season started, and wowee. Crisp wasn't selected for rounds 1 or 2, but after then he went on to score 10 scores of 90+, including 7 tons, on his way to an average of 93, supreme consistency for a young player, and my first selected forward each week

Indeed :)

Thanks for the quick replies so far guys, 10 in, 8 to go... unless I've missed something. Those remaining are:

- Buenos Aires
- Cairo
- Cape Town
- New Delhi
- PNL
- Rio de Janeiro
- Seoul
- Tokyo

I can tell you there are clear leaders for Coach of the Year and Coaches of the Year (as in I could basically call it now), the All-Worlds team is starting to take shape, but it is WAY TOO CLOSE to call the Rising Star so far.

[Nige]

Ours are in now.  8)

[ossie85]

And only 4 left now! Thanks everyone

just
- Buenos Aires
- Cape Town
- Seoul
- Tokyo

to go

Rising Star still really close, while 3-8 players fighting for last 3-4 spots in All-Worlds

Daniel Andrews the front-runner I assume

The points cap is pretty much useless if teams just trade in injured players.

I can see the merit behind the best of the previous 2 years being the one that counts but I don't think previous seasons should have as much influence as the one just gone.

Libba is a gun with 0 points. That's not exactly an accurate representation of his value. But neither is making him worth full points since he's no certainty to bounce back to that level. I think we should count whichever is higher out of 90% of 2014 scores vs 100% of 2015 scores. A guy like Rocky shouldn't be worth the full 100% of his 2014 output because he's no certainty to get back to those astonishing levels ever again.

its the system though. I guess it kind of helps teams with injured players.

If it wasn't for the cap i wouldn't be trading in Liberatore i would have kept Tmac + Mundy.

as I have said the cap just distorts reality and causes mis pricing.
