Reviewing the season's of veteran Dustin Fletcher and big man Patrick Ryder, Hamilton said both players were a good chance to finish near the top.
""Dustin is consistently in our top ten and finished second only two years ago,"" Hamilton said.
""He’s been good again and had a really consistent year playing 19 games  – he is ever reliable down back and he’s sure to attract the votes of the coaching group.""
Hamilton said Ryder had also had a consistnet year for the club. 

""Paddy has played every game this year which is a massive improvement on last year and he certainly got better and better as the year went on,"" Hamilton said.

""We would expect him to finish somewhere near the top and we know that he will continue to grow and develop as a player under this coaching group.""

In tomorrow's edition, Hamilton will review the year's of Jobe Watson and David Zaharakis ahead of Friday's Crichton Medal evening.
