[Chook 15,013]

I'm tipping Cameron Bruce, given his stats and the fact that he's the Captain and the only guy who played every game this year. Do you have the stats on contested possessions for the two?

Where's the stat for effective disposals?

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Anyone who uses "stats alone" to judge players performances really has no idea.

I expect the top four to consist of Green, Wheatley, Bruce and McLean. That's not my top four but what I expect the top four to be.

No 'Chook' they have not listed contested possessions which I believe is a very important stat. Don't know why these are not recorded.

In case you are having a go at me Clint I did say, 'IF one goes on stats alone.....'

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I wasn't having a go at you.

And I agree that Green and Bruce will both poll well.

CP Clg CM 1% for year (you do the math, as they say )

Green

110 49 16 38

Bruce

146 43 10 41

CP= contested possessions

Clg=clangers

CM= contested marks

1%= 1%ers

So looking at all these, it's Greeny by a whisker for this year's B&F.

Looking at those, it's Bruce by a whisker, IMHO.

[Chook 15,013]

Looking at those, it's Bruce by a whisker, IMHO.

I'd agree. And the fact that he was named co-captain should seal it for him. I wonder what Yze_Magic thinks about all this.

[Yze_Magic 3]

Green will deservedly win the B and F by a country mile.

if Bruce wins, our club has hit its lowest ebb in its 150 year history.

Accurate voting by the coaches should see him finish 15th-18th.

Top 5

1. Brad Green

2. Colin Sylvia

3. Paul Johnson

4. Cale Morton

5. Brock McLean

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Was a 2 horse race between Brock and Green until Brock got injured, so Green should win comfortably IMO.

For Bruce, obviously 14th to 18th is a bit low YM, but IMO he should not finish in the top 5, although he probably will.

Ha, bloody ha,ha. Put Sylvia in the 15-18 spot and you'll be closer. Bruce yourself YM. Sorry, I meant BRACE yourself! You could be in for a disappointing evening my totally BIASED and BLIND one.

MFC is the only club that rewards soft, unskilled players so you are probably right.

And this is the only forum that seems to reward you, fat boy!

Take the stats and FU moron !!

Stats hey?

Well ok, on that basis here are some trades the Demons should do using your severe lack of football knowledge.

Send pick 1 to Carlton for Andrew Carazzo

Send pick 17 and Ricky Petterd to West Coast for Matthew Priddis

Send pick 19 and Aaron Davey to Essendon for Jobe Watson

Correct Clint Bizkit, my man.

Stats = objective

opinion = subjective.

Anyone can watch a player and have a different or diverse opinion. I would view a high percentage of similar subjective judgements over stats as a superior analysis of a player. There is still an "X" factor.

But of course, Y_M will remain an "F" factor.
