Leaderboard after Round 12:

35 - Trent Cotchin
34 - Luke Shuey
19 - Shaun Higgins
15 - Michael Barlow
12.5 Jarrod Witts
12 - Tom J Lynch
11 - Jarrod Harbrow

8 - Tom Liberatore
6.5 - Jack Redden
5 - Rhys Mathieson
4.5 - Tom Papley
4 - Dion Prestia
2 - Shannon Hurn
1 - Kamdyn McIntosh

Two big things to take out of these 6 rounds that have just passed. Firstly, BEASTMODE went bang in R11 to get max votes! But secondly, and perhaps more importantly, Shuey was a late out in R10, and thus unable to be a chance at polling any votes. Will this have any impact on the final result? Only 3 rounds left! Should be an exciting finish!

Well, now seems as good a time as any to present some of the other awards ;D

Best New Player 2017

Well, there were a number of players who joined the Badgers in the 2016/2017 off-season. However, one of them was a cut above the rest. The winner of the Best New Player award for 2017 goes to Jarrod Witts!



Averaging over 140 as our #1 ruck, Witts was one of the shining lights for the Badgers this season, finishing as the 6th highest averaging ruck at the end of our home and away season.

Best Individual Performance 2017

He won this award last year, and he has done it again this year. With two scores of 219 in rounds 4 and 5, Luke Shuey takes out the Highest Individual Performance award for the 2nd year running. Congratulations Luke!



Note: Cotchin and Hurn both beat this score, but they did so either during the byes, or after the regular Home and Away season, or while not named on the field because they had just returned from concussion (mb Shannon).

Coaches Award 2017

For one reason or another, I have not presented a coaches award yet in my time as coach. Well, this will be the first then I guess!

There have been a number of players this season who have really impressed me. But, one of them seemingly came out of nowhere, after missing the start of the season with injury. That player, of course, is Tommy Papley!



After coming back from injury, Papley put in two sub-60 scores, just getting back into things. Since then though, he has gone on to average a tick over 130, cementing his spot as the 4th forward in our lineup. THE PAPSMEAR.

Should probably get back to finishing off that "Best and Fairest" award ay...

Round 15:

5 - Shannon Hurn
4 - Jack Redden
3 - Trent Cotchin
2 - Luke Shuey
1 - Shaun Higgins

And Cotch gets over Shuey in the last round of the season!

#69
Best and Fairest 2017

So, with that said, I would like to announce the winner of the Bradford Badgers 2017 Best and Fairest.

Congratulations, Trent Cotchin!



Again, averaging a tick under that of Shuey, and again, just finishing ahead to take out the ultimate award here at the Badgers. A fantastic effort from Cotch, who was almost traded at the end of last year.

4 - Dion Prestia
1 - Kamdyn McIntosh

Only half a vote separating Cotch and Shuey, absolute scenes tbqh. Good to see some of the young guys in Papley, Matho, and Caleb polling a decent amount of votes as well!

Well, it's been a big off-season for the Badgers so far, after a terribly disappointing season in 2017. We have already had the retirements of Matthew Boyd and Sam Butler, who will both be missed, Boyd in particular who has been outstanding in his time at the club. In the trade period, we have also said goodbye to Dion Prestia, Tom Liberatore, Jason Castagna, Oleg Markov, Jack Darling, Wayne Milera, Brennan Cox, Jacob Allison, Shannon Hurn, and Michael Barlow.

However, this has also meant that we are welcoming plenty of new faces to the club! The new additions to the Badgers team for 2018 (so far) are Dyson Heppell, Dan Hannebery, Daniel Rich, Sam Mayes, Matthew Wright, Brayden Maynard, Ben Griffiths, and Keegan Brooksby. We are confident that these players can help us make a charge back up the ladder, and be a genuine contender in finals next year!
