1Eyed Eel Awards for 2004
Every single vote for Player of the Year by 1Eyed Eels readers has gone to Nathan Hindmarsh, with Wade McKinnon almost as dominant in taking out the Back of the Year.
Hindmarsh was the 1Eyed Eel Player of the Year for the most points collected during our player ratings throughout the year. He finished in front of Craig Stapleton and Dean Widders.
Hindmarsh then totally dominated voting from 1Eyed Eel readers, collecting every single vote for Player of the Year and Forward of the Year.
Wade McKinnon was overwhelming choice for Back of the Year and Buy of the Year.
The most improved went to Matt Peterson whose game improved out of sight over the course of the year. McKinnon was runner-up in that category.
Despite only playing one first grade game, most Eels supporters believe that Feleti Mateo was the most exciting prospect to emerge, in front of the likes of Rookie of the Year Jack Afamasaga.
Most Eels supporters believe that the signing of PJ Marsh will be most key to Parramatta in 2005. Mark Riddell was voted the second most important signing.
