Hey all :)

This thread is dedicated to recognising the achievements of players, coaches and teams alike for the season gone by!

I simply don't have the time to run this on a relied upon schedule. I'll do it when I have the mental energy to do so over the next period of time.

My intention is to drip feed this information when I can, and hopefully wrap it up sooner rather than later.

I'll begin the Jim Stynes Medal count from... this week? And nightly until we have recognised:
- The 2023 Jim Stynes Medalist
- Coach of the Year
- Rising Star
- Coaches Award
- All-Worlds team
- All-Reserves team

Everyone's favourite; it's time for the famous All-Reserves team!

(min 9 games, sorted by average score in reserve games only)

D: Isaac Quaynor (71 from 9, Durban), Brandon Zerk-Thatcher (68.62 from 13, Yuzawa), Tom McCartin (66.7 from 10, Port Morseby), Nathan Murphy (64.75 from 16, Port Morseby)
M: Lachlan Ash (82.09 from 11, La Plata), Bailey Scott (69 from 9, Pyongyang), Ethan Hughes (62.14 from 15, Yuzawa), Junior Rioli (60.45 from 11, Washington)
R: Andrew Phillips (55.5 from 11, San Marino)
F: Riley Thilthorpe (66.83 from 13, Yuzawa), Brody Mihocek (65.58 from 12, Shanghai), Bailey Banfield (65.5 from 11, San Marino), Will Hayward (64.5 from 14, La Plata)
U: Alex Pearce (64.27 from 17, San Marino), Nick Murray (64.07 from 15, Alexandria)

C: Lachlan Ash (La Plata)
VC: Isaac Quaynor (Durban)

A whopping 3 players each for dominant Reserve teams San Marino and Yuzawa, led by an even more impressive Captain Lachie Ash from La Plata, going at 82 a game! Speaks volumes of the mighty midfield at the premiers Buenos Aires.

Amazingly there is no representatives for the premiers Copacabana.

Special mention to McCartin and Hayward for making consecutive All-Reserves teams.

I proudly present the 2023 WXV Coach of the Year!

A very even spread in 2023, with all 6 nominated coaches receiving at least one '3'. Which makes sense, as the nominations were pretty easy to choose this time around (statistically), with all making big improvements compared to 2022.

I asked everyone to vote on a 3-2-1 basis as to who should be the 2023 WXV Coach of the Year... the winner, notching 33 out of a possible 51 votes was...

GoLions!

A HUGE season of growth, the Cobras will be best remembered for its Round 11 to Round 17 win streak it needed to make finals, almost doubling the amount of wins GLs team found in 2022. The Cobras returned to finals in 2023 for the first time since its elim exit in 2021, recovering nicely from the speedbump that was 2022. With talent and depth to burn, you suspect the Cobras won't need to artificially add talent to take the next step in 2024.

A remarkable effort and worthy recipient of the 2023 COTY, congratulations GL!
