St Kilda coach Ross Lyon has capped off a brilliant year by being named the AFL Coaches Association's (AFLCA) Senior Coach of the Year.

Voted by his peers, Lyon took out the honour in just his third year in the position.

Lyon has done a fantastic job in 2009 by transforming a team that scraped into fourth spot last year with a win-loss record of just 13-9 into a powerhouse side.

Kenny is a great man. Great recognition. :D

Don't challenge him to a boxing sparring duel though....he will clean you up!!

For those who may not realise Ken Whifen was the runner in the 1966 GF.

In those days he had to wear a white shirt, white paints and a tie and an armband that said runner as he ran messages around the MCG.

Congratulations to Ross and Ken.
