Both Ben Robbins and Luke Cotchett have both had absolutely terrifc years.
I can't see how it can be awarded to anyone outside of these two.
When Port signed Ben Robbins, I wasn't sure how big a contribution he would make to this season, but his desire and workrate have been excellent. He said he would retire at the end of the year, but should Port be trying to keep him at the club next season? Even in a part time role similar to Filandia a couple of years back?

Agreed Luke Cotchett and Ben Robbins so far ahead its not funny.
The only other bloke who has been consistant all season and played most games is Johnny Baird. Hes been very good.
I too at the start of the year was happy Robbins signed up but I didnt think have this much impact. He was steady in 2004 but has stepped up with the loss of Jeremy Clayton.
I also noticed Ryan McMahon and Luke Cotchett are up around the 80 game mark and will bring up 100 games next season if all goes to plan. A very good effort and loyalty shown by both.
I really rate Cotchett, every week he plays well and will definately be Ports next captain. Still only 22 years old!!
I agree that Cotchett would make a great future captain at the club... Leads by example, and the club would be hoping that he is able to go close to 150-200 games at the Borough.
Baird would definitely by the third player in the mix for the B7F, although he's a bit more of a longshot.
For what its worth i think John Baird is favorite for Port B&F,you would have to almost consider him a good chance for the Liston as well?
Wouldn't be surprised if he (Baird) polls most in the Liston, but I don't think he will win our B&F.
