12. Damien Hardwick (Richmond)
A horror start to he year had Hardwick under all sorts of pressure, however a strong back end to the year saved him and put the Tigers with a mathematical chance of finals with four games to play.
11. Brendan McCartney (Western Bulldogs)
Whilst the Western Bulldogs progress seems to be a slow-burner, McCartney has done well to manage the transition of era’s and the only way seems to be up. Gets the most out of his players and deserves to be given time to guide a young Bulldogs side.
