BXV: Bradford Badgers

[GoLions]

After having a few weeks off for the byes, the players were ready to go again, with just 3 rounds remaining in the Home and Away season. Can Cotchin hold on, or will one of Shuey/Libba be able to catch him?

Round 16:
5 - Dion Prestia
4 - Luke Shuey
3 - Jarrod Harbrow
2 - Trent Cotchin
1 - Matthew Boyd



Leaderboard

34 - Trent Cotchin
27 - Luke Shuey
23 - Tom Liberatore
21 - Dion Prestia
15 - Michael Barlow, Matthew Boyd
10 - Pearce Hanley
9 - Tom Lynch
8 - Nick Dal Santo
5 - Michael Rischitelli, Jarrod Harbrow
4 - Mark LeCras, Jesse Lonergan
3 - Caleb Daniel, Daniel Currie, Adam Cooney
2 - Tom Nicholls, Billy Stretch, Daniel Howe

Shuey keeps himself in with a chance, polling 4 votes in R16. However, those 2 votes for Cotchin make things very difficult with only 2 rounds to go.

A great game for Shuey, but unfortunately he was too far behind to catch Cotch. Official award announcements will be up later today 8)

I hear the coach isn't happy that Cotch won the BnF which has stirred rumours of a rift and could potentially see old mate Trent on his way out of Bradford.  :o

The 2016 Bradford Badgers Best and Fairest winner is:

Trent Cotchin



Congrats Cotch!

19 players managed to poll this season, which goes to show the potential of some of our depth players coming in this year to fill the spots for players like Higgo, Barlow, Prestia, Libba, and Riska!

Best New Player 2016

There were two big players who joined the club at the end of 2015, and while both were good, one of these guys was simply outstanding, exceeding expectations heavily.

Congratulations to Luke Shuey!



Averaged a tick under 180 for the year, and by far our highest scorer on total points (and just outscoring Cotchin on average). Was so consistent, always a reliable captain when needed.

Best Individual Performance 2016

This score didn't come until the Preliminary Final, when we needed it most! (although unfortunately wasn't enough)

However, with a massive score of 298, well done again Luke Shuey! So close to getting the clean sweep :o

Well, after a disappointing season, it's time to look at some of the positives. So tonight we will be awarding the Badgers Best and Fairest award for 2017, along with a few other awards at the end as well. Stay tuned!

[GoLions]

The Badgers Best and Fairest award runs with a 5-4-3-2-1 polling system, with the highest scoring player for each round polling 5 votes, 2nd highest polling 4 votes, etc etc. If players are tied equal 2nd (for example), then the votes will be split, and they would (in this example) receive 3.5 votes each. No scaling or anything will be applied to defenders, forwards, or rucks (in order to not make it a midfielders award heh), because I can't really be bothered :P
