Yearly Awards 08'

The Braves were uncertain about Miko's new choice of strip for 09'...

Best Goal Celebration

Who else? A man who had a real purple patch mid season then got frustrated with his lack of finishing percentage and played out the year out wide. Miko Came up with 2 very late goals against the Grasshoppers at home- a game we really should have lost-to pull a point out of our collective asses. And the celebrations- shirt waving, sprinting about like a rabbit on speed, topless, wemon swooning blah blah blah.. Good man. Get yourself up front again next year boy.

Worst goal celebration

McLoskey, who had to be crash tackled to add some spice to his after goal antics against Tathra at home. Even after Miko had called for more euphoria before the match after goals. Equal worst- Jmac. Hang on, he didn't score. Except if you count the goal for Wolumla in the elimantion final...

Best miss

Equal between Barney's drive from Dunko's underhit corner in the first final in Eden and Maz's sizzling effort to try to force ET v Wolumla in the final. Oh well...

Most fouls

Fox. Not only did our renassaince man get better every single game, he kept the mongrel in his game which consistently unsettled his opponents. One more year son. Oh, also an award for Fox and Maz being the only receipents of yellow this year- amazing after our 20 odd last year...

Best...
Trainer, player, team man, passer, header, penalty taker- you name it. Crouch can do it all. Just ask him.

Best dummy spit
Lenno for his effort at home. Think Donnie and Dunko may worn that one. Tears all round. Honary mention- Paddy's spray at Fox for wasting a ball v Merimbula(?). He's still apologising:)

Best Impersonation of Johnnie Walker
Angus. Played v Bega in Bega (Dunko's first game) and wasn't seen after. Spotted in town when he waved to Dunko last week though...

Second best trainer
Donnie. Nuff said.

Best under Pressure
Buzz. Doesn't mind a bit of pressure. Just don't expect miracles:)

Best impersonation of a runaway train.
Simo when he had his mind on getting a piece on a loose ball. Or player.

Most romantic
Jmac. Went fishing on a secluded beach. made a 1 metre high sand castle, complete with hinged french windows, which opened, revealing a 45 carat diamond engagement ring for Brookie. Not all of that might be true, but it's a good story. Good luck to you both:)

Best Pisstake
Adam being told we lost the first final and we played short? Putting Donnie in goals with a crook back? Putting Maz on when he was still pissed? Making Maz captain? Fox announcing his retirement? Miko saying he might strengthen his knee? Adam saying he'll never rally his new car(or his mum's)? Dunko promising not to shout before a game? Someone telling Al to grow up? you decide...

Best own goal
Buzz's accident v Wolumla at home? J Mac scoring for Wolumla to send us out this year? can't think of any others..

Oddest game of the year
2 penalties v Wolumla in the first 7 minutes? What were we supposed to do then?

Biggest surprise
Lack of yellows? Tony Mac's sudden liking the Braves? McLoskey turning up to training (at least twice)?

There's lots more, but enough for now...
