Best first year player
Brett Goodes, 1186 points @ 91
There's no doubting that Goodesy deserves this honour after starting with a ton on debut. He served all coaches well throughout the season, which was ended a bit too prematurely through a broken arm.
Most Improved
Tom Liberatore, 2350 points @ 107
Liberatore showed signs last season, but did anybody really believe he was capable of this? Not only did he average in triple figures, but the jet scored over 125 on seven occassions, including a high of 163! He overall rose by more than $100k and should be watched next year.

Best Buy
Will Minson, 2515 points @ 114
Perhaps Ryan Griffen is a little unlucky for this category, but here's why I went for Minson: After a low key off-season, Minson stamped himself as on of the top two ruckmen in SuperCoach, tied with Todd Goldstein. Unlike Giffen, he played every game, and dropped under 100 points only five. Big Mino deserves his All-Australian guernsey.
Worst Buy
Nick Lower, 754 points @ 58
The possibilty of something special from the trade period recruit was high, as he had a solid scoring history with Fremantle. This was until Brendon McCartney indicated that Lower would become the Dogs' tagger. His SuperCoach scoring suffered, and after 13 games, he knows finds himself delisted and looking for a fourth club.
2014 Prospects
Lachlan Hunter: The young pup was quite impressive in his nine games this year, playing mainly throughout the midfield. He was the in the vest on a few occasions, but finished the year with a strong 116 against Melbourne.
Mitch Wallis: Another exciting Doggies' midfielder, Mitch Wallis spent a lot of time in 2013 playing a negating role on the league's best players. If he's freed up next season he's a real good option.
Jarrad Grant: It would take a brave Coach to select the first round draft pick in their side, but he has shown glimpses. Grant didn't play until Round 16 after playing in the Williamstown seconds, but had scores of 99 against West Coast, 81 against Sydney & 129 against Carlton. He could be on his last chance.
