Good to see they got it right, and didn't give it to a one dimensional player. A more than deserving winner. Plays the game at both ends at a high level. Can't say i've seen him spit the dummy on the court either. Just get's on with the game and does what is needed for his team.

Regardless of how they do the votes they got it right this year.

Bit late to say it now, but I had a feeling Lisch would take the gong.

So did a lot of people. What do you want, a sticker?

I don't understand the "voting system" for the All-NBL teams. "3 outside and 2 inside" WTF does that mean? Did they make that up just so they could have Chris Flopping alongside Lisch?

It's been the system for at least five years. I don't know what the criteria has been over the course of the NBL's existence, it may have been something else at some point in time before that, but it's been like this for ages.

It's not like the five positions aren't completely arbitrary, and they're getting all the more meaningless by the year. I mean, you say the first team has three shooting guards, with Randle also playing a bit of point, I'd call Randle a point and Lisch a combo. Perth made it through almost the entirety of the 90s without a center.

What's wrong with the old system of picking one player per position?

Well, for starters, there's no reason to believe that is the old system and it's not that easy to differentiate between positions.

Even the NBA goes with two guards, two forwards and a center AFAIK.

Bit late to say it now, but I had a feeling Lisch would take the gong. He is so well respected that he'll poll well with opposition coaches. Could have been other worthy recipients too, but just had a feeling he would do well.

I don't understand the "voting system" for the All-NBL teams. "3 outside and 2 inside" WTF does that mean? Did they make that up just so they could have Chris Flopping alongside Lisch? Just as well Randle is a combo, or we'd have 3 SG's.

At the end of the day, these "teams" are rewards for individuals, they're never going to play.

The "voting" system for Defensive player is also weird, with each club only nominating one player. That's why AJ doesn't crack a mention, dudded by his own team.
Amazing that Martin still got close.

"Randle 3rd is about right."

There's certainly no shame in finishing 3rd when you've missed nearly 20% of a season and votes are cast game-by-game.
He was a legit game-winner and great for the league. I really hope the 36ers find a way to bring him back next season.

MACDUB, so you're talking about fans? Your initial post sounded like you were talking about the club.

I don't understand the reaction to Dennis winning COTY. "He deserves it, and was the best coach, but he shouldn't have won"?

As for the idea of Gleeson winning it...I can think of five or six better candidates.

But have to remember they are staying true to positions so in that case looking at all power forwards, I guess he was the best.

It wasn't by position, it was three outside players and two inside players.

No idea how Goulding finished second. I had him equal sixth.

Cant fault any of the selections (well accept the ref)and probably the best results for a fair while.

Still a lot to do on the presentation of the night though but heading in the right direction.

I think the first team was mostly right. Think no cats deserved first team honours but did think Kickert was an interesting choice. But have to remember they are staying true to positions so in that case looking at all power forwards, I guess he was the best.

Loved Shawn Dennis getting coach of the year. So well deserved. I'm glad the likes of Bevo, Demoupolis or Gleeson didn't get it cos in all honesty, our teams are stacked. What. Dennis has done with his squad is outstanding and I certainly hope he and the Crocs have built enough of a foundation for their community to support them into the future.

Perth Wildcats kicking up a fuss on SM about not having Anyone in the first team.

Where? I can find literally zero mentions of it anywhere.

No argument here. We've had various players step up at different times of the season but no one worthy of first team honours.

No disrespect but I think they were IMO lucky to have Knight there in the 2nd team.

I would have had Warrick as my PF in the 2nd team.

Perth don't have studs but they have 7-8 very very very good players. Well Prather is a stud but Lisch and Webster justifiably ahead i think.

Pretty sure refs get bonus points for arrogance towards players and coaches.

I can understand it not being on TV because its probably not interesting enough to take up air time on free to air or fox.

No link on the app is strange though.

Without this thread, I wouldn't even know it was available to watch at all. No easily obtainable link on website either.

It's been all over Twitter and Facebook.

Tried to borrow a laptop to plug into a TV, but it wouldn't work. And the laptop I know works died a month ago and is still being repaired. Fantastic.

Don't understand why they need an email, full name, phone number and postcode.

Or why I can't watch this on a television.
