My award for the most miserable team of the season goes to Hawthorn, for believing a 72-point win wasn't good enough and doing whatever they could to deny Fevola his 100th goal of the season.

The award for the best handling of Franklin's achievement goes to the AFL, Victoria Police and the Telstra Dome security staff who allowed the crowd pitch invasion to go ahead without incident. It was a rare event and one worthy of the fans showing such appreciation.
