It's all kicking off today folks.
Regardless of whether he wins it or not -- congratulations to the young bloke for having a sensational first 12 games for the Navy Blue!
If he doesn't win it -- well, we all know that he would have pantsed all other contenders if he had played the full season.
If you're worried or upset over the current turmoil at the club, think of this bloke, and the way he has been carrying himself on and off the field in his first season of AFL football. Doesn't it just make you wanna smile?

Reflecting on the past six months, probably the one lesson which stands out for me is how hard I need to work to be the best. Another impression is how enjoyable it's been. Footy clubs are great places to be around, the atmosphere and the friends. I only played in two winning matches during the season and it was such a good feeling around the club after the game and during the week. Hopefully next year we'll have many more. Not hopefully, definitely.

The pain in my left shoulder was instant and sharp and I knew straight away I was a 'goner'. I got up and tried to stay involved in the play thinking that I would have one last chance to take one of them with me, so when Ben Fixter fumbled the ball in front of me I tackled him as hard as I could and ended up taking his weight and mine on my left shoulder. It didn't tickle.

You're leading, who do you want to have the ball?
Marc Murphy. He passed to me in the Melbourne game, the first game of the year. He was about 40m out, I was standing in the pocket sort of by myself and he didn't even look at me. He could've had a shot, but he passed it to me. And if you look at the vision, he didn't even look at me, and someone was about to smother the footy. I remember looking up at the scoreboard and thinking, gee, this kid's a freak. Hopefully on Wednesday he gets the NAB Rising Star because I reckon he deserves it.
