BA took the eels from wooden spoon in 2018 to 5th in 2019 should he have won coach of the year?, no because not all wooden spoon teams are equal, some are poor roster teams, others are good roster teams that had a combination of poor coaching, injuries and poor player attitude.
If the finals were counted than yes Holbrook is the coach of the year but finals aren't counted.
Yes BA should've won it . This whole place were pissed off at the time that he didn't win it. Which is why this year and that year are a farce.
Seibold won it in 2018 ? Reason being they yapped up his efforts getting Rabbits from mid table year before into 3rd or 4th ? Also the hype was it was his first season.
If finals counted, it should, i would agree that Holbrook deserved it. BA did not deserve it, he was the one that led the eels to the 2018 spoon, not because they had a bad roster, they didn't, they were a top 4 team in 2017.
It was a combination of bad coaching and poor player attitude that won them the spoon in 2018, the same reason the k fights won the spoon last year. The knights roster is pretty damn good, stacked with rep players so going from spoon to 7th isn't as impressive as it seems, getting to the gf is a different story.
The fact this is the first time Nathan cleary has won shows what a farce the dally m's are.
Yes and no, issue with Cleary is there were seasons where he missed a lot of games so he couldn't get points. Also, Edwards and Yeo and the likes would take points off him too.
Maybe because half the team hasn't hit their peak and the other half are close to retirement
Hey at least we had the rookie of the year !. Lol Eels - the feeder club of the year 🤣
I will say Chief, not saying it for sake of arguing ill have this regardless of who it was. But Sanders shouldn't have even qualified for rookie of the year.
He played 2 games in 2024 and 2 games in 2025. This was his 3rd year in FG. I understand the rule of under 6 games or something like that but what if a player plays 1 game a year for 6 years, he can win rookie of the year in his 7th season? To me, once you have debuted, the following season you are not a rookie. If they keep it as the following year under 6 games you can still be counted then fair but 3 years since debut?
Wasnt a strong year either as I felt Harrison at least deserved a nomination.
As for Sanders, you know my thoughts on that whole thing. Don't want Blue Eel to come get me haha.
Alright Alright we've got some signings coming
I love it how some have come here to abuse the club after the Dally M's when if you ask the same people 3 months ago if we would have any involvement in the Dally M's the answer would be an emphatic no. So why is it a problem now when we knew for a while we would have no mention? Haha
