11 kicks.

6 handballs.

3 free's for and 0 against.

9 TACKLES!!!

The guy has been a consistent MACHINE!!!

Please AFL... it's Round 20... please?

[e25 5]

Has he got any competition?

None comes to mind from this round.

[volders 22]

Blair for Collingwood had 28 disposals (13 contested), 6 marks, 4 tackles, 2 goals. also trengove for PA had a good game too.

Fair call and fair to say time is running out for McKenzie and Watts!!!

Would be great for one of our blokes to win it, and would kind of validate our development, but I like to think the fact that we have so much depth amongst our young players would be the reason they may get overlooked.

Hannerbry has this sewn up, especially after his game on the weekend.

Jordie should receive a nomination the kid just plays his heart out on the field each week. Fingers crossed.

[Red Sox 2]

+1. I think he had 38 touches. Hard to argue against him even if D Martin was eligible for the award, Dan H has been super.

Blair will get the nom this week IMO.

Jordie deserves a NOM and hopefully gets one in the last 2 rnds. Jackie Watts will need a belter to get a nom.

Jarryd Blair will get it, and deservedly so.

[Grand New Flag 3,227]

Our Football Department has been lobbying hard for Jordie to get a nomination. On consistency, contested possession and tackles he is far more deserving than many who have already been nominated including our own Gysberts.

Surely this week!

Sorry "grand new flag" in my opinion he was not in our top 6 players yesterday.

He works hard but does not stand out because of the type of player he is.

Won't get a look in I am afraid.

Blair from the pies.

No question.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Yeah it's gonna be Blair.

These last two rounds are our last two chances to equal the record.

It takes years for the rough-as-guts, shoulder-to-the-wheel type midfielders to get their due recognition.

Jordie will be our version of Boyd from the Doggies or (looking further back) Ratten at the Blues ... he'll have to do it consistently for about three years for the footy world to catch up. It's just a side-effect of the type of game he plays. Luckily, everything we've heard about him makes it seem like he's not the kind of guy who gives a damn about all that extra-curricular carp.

Spot on he is not the type that wins awards just the sort who helps win games.

A good grunt player that gets the ball out and makes others guys look good.

Nothing flash just a gower that every team needs.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

As much I love Jordie, he aint going to win it unless:

1. MFC wins

2. Jordie has a blinder and actually kicks 3 to 4 goals. A TV highlight speccy would help.

3. And no other eligible player plays the game of their lives.

I'm sure Jordie can take comfort in the fact that he's been picked to play in most games he's been available for this year and has been a consistant performer, compared to those guys who have flashed for a few games, scored a nominitation then dropped off again (e.g. Nic Nat). And he gets plenty of love and recognition from the coaches it would seem (and the supporters!) so I reckon he'd pretty content with that.

Like Gysberts?

[Demon Tragic 0]

Like Gysberts?

I thought Gysberts averaged 27 touches in his games?

[Goat 98]

gysberts just disappeared with his injury

[Felix 92]

award no award, we all know how good he is. He does not need some half nomination to prove it... Just like the brownlow, an award given by umpires, and they get it right all the time dont they!!!

Jodie is a great player for the MFC and will be for many years to come.

He would of got it the last 2 weeks if other players didn't play very big games (Garlett 6 and he has had a good year), he's been in the top 3 the last 3 weeks including this one. Early word has Trengove getting the nod this week.

[Deetective Sgt. Taggert 389]

Like Gysberts?

Well, yes, although he can claim injury as the cause of his drop off as the other posted pointed out

[The Backyard Charizard 1,202]

Jackson Trengove got this weeks nomination... Did have a ripper match... Time definitely running out for Jordie... Hanneberry is a shoe in for the chocolates though... Great season

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Ha! And no Blair. I can live with that.
