Bulldogs fullback Ben Barba has won the 2012 Dally M player of the year with in what is fittingly a run away victory. Matthew Bowen finished second in the count while Cooper Cronk finished third.
Barba also won the headline moment of the year, the fullback of the year and the Provan Summons medal which is voted on by fans. It was great to see and he seemed genuinely emotional when accepting his award.
