2009 CRAZY JOHN’S SEABL DEFENSIVE PLAYERS OF THE YEAR
Hobart Chargers Chuck Long and Kilsyth Cobras Quincy Henderson have shown that US imports can play defence after being awarded with the Defensive Player of the Year award for their respective conference. Knox Raiders dynamo guard Julia Tan was voted as Best Defensive player in the Women’s League.

Kilsyth Cobras first year import Quincy Henderson played 25 games in the regular season, and received a total of 14 votes to edge out Bendigo guard Warren Randall for the award. Henderson arrived in Australia known for his defensive skills and provided coach Grant Wallace with the necessary skills to shut down opposition players each week. Henderson would be required to play all positions as he attempted to contain his opposition and help his team to victory. His tireless work never showed on the stats sheet, but Henderson received at least one Defensive Player vote in each game he played this season
