Melbourne halfback Jahrome Hughes has credited ex-Kiwis coach Michael Maguire for his surge into Dally M medal favouritism as player of the year

The 29-year-old says he approached this season with a deeds-not-words mindset, spurred on by Maguire.

Hughes says in the past he'd worried too much about what his teammates were doing instead of leading by example.
