WXV Awards 2017

[Purple 77]

Hey everyone  8)

This is the thread where we announce our Best & Fairests, Coaches Awards and discuss matters such as the Rising Star winner and Coach of the Year in preparation for the Awards Ceremony.

Award Nominations

1. Coach of the Year

I'll nominate this years candidates, using last years criteria to help me out:
- If you've won more games during the regular season in 2017 than 2016, you get a nomination for coach of the year. If you had the same amount of wins, but scored more overall points you get a nomination
- A wild card nomination if I feel that a coach has had to overcome particular adversity or done something special to deserve it.

The nominations will be announced sometime this week!

2. Coaches award

Each team can nominate a player on their team they think deserves special mention. You can use any criteria you like, it doesn't have to be the best player. Previous winners are Daniel Talia, Mark Blicavs & Matt Jaensch for example.

3. Rising Star Winner

Here are your nominations! Talk your player up over the next week or so, and decide who you'll vote for when I send out the PM!

[Jroo]

Cotch wins our B&F

[RaisyDaisy]

Joel Selwood wins New York's B&F, and we nominate Jarryd Roughead for our coaches award

After what he went through, and being out of the game for 12 months he took a bit of time to get into the swing of things but he has got better and better as the year has gone on

[Nige]

Taylor Adams won Cairo's B&F for 2017. Jeremy McGovern nominated for the Coaches Award.

[Purple 77]

Wow, I actually haven't given it any thought yet, but I actually have NFI who would win my B&F.

Everyone has been equally ordinary for much of the year...

[meow meow]

I've crunched the numbers, factored in things that numbers alone cannot measure, and the winner of the best and fairest for Christchurch 2017 is...

Thomas Boyd!

(C)onnor gets the coaches award for blossoming into the gunnest young gun on our list.

15. Jayden Hunt (1)

Congrats to Dayne Zorko who wins his maiden Thunder B&F, holding off a late charge from Lachie Neale and Callan Ward.

Congratulations to Kane Lambert who takes out the Beijing Thunder Coach's Award for 2017 after his terrific back end to the year. Averaged a fantastic 93 points per game after the bye which coincided with him cementing himself in the Beijing XV and also the team's turnaround in form which saw us make a late surge up the ladder.

Lambo just edged out Sam Mayes who has had a terrific year, repaying coaches' faith in him averaging 83 as a defender, cementing his spot in our XV and being one of our first picked in the backline every week.

Geez how much does your team suck if Tom Boyd wins any award. Let alone best and fairest.
