VFL 2011 Mulrooney Medallists - Daniel Currie and Jarred Moore

[ugg]

Congrats to Cuz and Bulldog, joint winners of the 2011 Mulrooney Medal, the Canberra league's Best and Fairest medal. Both polled 16 votes and it is Moore's 2nd Mulrooney. Currie's effort is amazing considering he hasn't played since Round 14.

Was it Currie's stella effort or rather a reflection on everyone else in that competition?

I fear this is the award Swans players get just before the sound of the delisting chop !!!

The GC Suns draft was a saviour last time and perhaps GWS this time.

Congrats otherwise.

Oh and TDL topped the goalkicking list. Not sure if there's an #NEAFL Eastern equivalent of the Coleman Medal.

Well done.
Thanks Ugg.

Thanks ugg. And to think we may be losing both of them ... a shame really.

Moore, Currie tie for Mulrooney Medal - Official AFL Website of the Sydney Swans Football Club

Some encouraging words from Playfair about Currie, let's hope they aren't just platitudes and not all is lost for young Cuz just yet

In his fifth season on the Swans list, Currie had his most promising season yet, before being struck down late in the year with a foot injury.

After a slow start to the season, Playfair said he was impressed with Currie?s mid-year improvement.

I hope so too. Isn't Currie the player longest on any AFL list without having played a senior game?

Is that like a 40 yr old virgin?

My apologies to those on this site in a similar position.

No worries.

How come you guys can get away with such a post, and I can't with something totally innocuous!

Anyway, I am very pleased for Doggy. I know he deserves it.

Well done to Crusher......he must have been doing something that I couldn't see but then again I missed far more than my share of ressies this year (which I heartily resent). The work of a seriously persistent young man, and that has to count toward his playing future! We have a lot invested in him and he has a lot invested in us.

How can the joint Mulrooney Medallists not make the team? I'm led to believe that part of the process involves the participating clubs nominating a group of players they think deserving of nomination and apparently the Swans didn't nominate Moore and Currie. But on the other hand, it's a great boost to Murphy's chances of getting a spot on the list next year.

Yay Murph!!
