Season Wrap

[Red Bear]

Post your wrap of sorts for the season, not necesarily from your clubs point of view but overall. Best/worst games, most improved players, strugglers, guys who should be cut, over rated etc.

Best Games - Essendon vs Collingwood - what a win, great last quarter of footy.
Essendon vs Richmond - awesome game, 2 point loss wasnt it? Commentators said we were dead and then Lucas went nuts.

Sydney vs West Coast was also an awesome game

Worst game - Dons v adelaide - need i say more?

Most improved - Jobe Watson, great season from him, consistently good player

Best game- Adel vs. WC in Adelaide

Worst games- Any of Carlton's games and most of Essendon's games

Most improved- Ryan O'Keefe.

Brownlow Favourite- Adam Goodes (Syd).

What???!!! No Judd!!!

I fully agree with your choice by the way, but you must have felt dirty typing it.

Judd has been injured too much and when he has come back, he has been playing well BUT Kerr and Cousins have been too. It will be hard for Judd to get it. Goodes has been sensational all year!

Best Games - Fremantle V Adelaide. Very enjoyable game of football to watch.

On a personal note, beating Adelaide's flood in Joely Bowden's 200th

Worst game - Can only look at this from a personal perspective. Round 1 Richmond V Bulldogs. The other 2 100 point spankings could be explained away due to injury. This however was a heartless, disgraceful effort.

Most improved - By far and away, this gong goes to Brendan Fevola. 84 goals in a team truly that bad is one sensational effort from a bloke who was trade bait 11 months ago. Most improved from the younger players - Andrew Raines. Last year, 23rd man in most games, this year - the bloke just looks like he belongs at the top level.

@ HAWTHORN

Best Game = The one point thriller against Essendon. A tight terse affair in which the skills on show were exceptional, particularly allowing for the weather conditions.

Worst Game = Undoubtedly our latest touching-up at the hands of the Power. Too awful for words!

Best Player = Sam Mitchell will win the Crimmins medal, but for class and G&D while playing injured for a prolonged period it is hard to go past Luke Hodge.

Most improved = Brad Sewell, turned in strong showing after strong showing out of defence for much of the year before switching with Hodge and running hard through the midfield over the last 4-6 weeks.

COMPETITION WIDE

Best Game = Adelaide vs Fremantle.

Worst Game = too many contenders to pick just one!

Best Player = Adam Goodes.

Most improved = Dane Swan (Coll).

Maybe Judas will have a better season next year & lead Geelong to glory...


If he earns himself a new contract of course

what a dissapointment he was

Abblett and Chapman topped our goal kicking, which shows we still have no key forwards
