So there we have it - one of the narrowest margins in the history of the TLM count, with Kennedy hitting the top of the leader board right at the last gasp. His second half of the season was sensational and he deserves his accolade as triple TLM winner. But one can't help feel something for Hannebery, who also had a sensational season. His AFLPA award might provide some consolation from missing out on the coveted TLM.
That's it for the TLM. Over and out!
