2024 Player of the Year Leaderboard

Remove this Banner Ad

To recap, trade/free agent recruits continued to dominate the Player of the Year award with Joe Daniher and Josh Dunkley becoming joint first time winners. Despite another Brownlow year by Lachie Neale, he couldn't quite win the big one finishing second by a single vote. Harris Andrews was third, making 2023 his third season finishing in the top three places. Hugh McCluggage couldn't improve on his win back in 2021 coming in fourth. Keidean Coleman had a break-out season finishing two votes behind Hugh while also winning the best finals player and the inaugural Black-Hart Medallist for the best Lions player in a Grand Final. Tieing with Keidean was Will Ashcroft who was a strong winner of rookie of the year despite Will missing games due to his tragic ACL injury.

Can Lachie Neale get back on top after a shameful second place? Can Joe Daniher win again and we'll see if we can contact him to present the award to see how little he cares about it? Can Hugh McCluggae redress the balance of all the trade/free agency winners and win one for the draftees? And who of our new draftees will manage to take out the rookie of the year award?

Little bit sad to see that Cam Rayner is our 5th leading vote getter after 1 good game.

Shows how one big game can still outweigh multiple solid but not outstanding weeks. I would say that Andrews and Lester have probably been amongst our most consistently good players this year but neither are close to the lead

Also Noah Answerth has been consistently solid but barely registered a vote.

Hats off to Kai; equal fourth and will surely be stand alone fourth after the counting of next round votes
 
Man, I’m struggling to remember one good game Hugh has played this season.
Hes had a weird season. Racked up a lot of the ball and I feel like had better goal kicking than most. But also been caught out holding the ball or some really bad turnovers that standout. Id probably say he hasn't been in his best form but also not as bad as we probably judge him
