Best and Fairest '11 (PICK TOP THREE)

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

just noticed something rather interesting

the top 7 in this poll are the 7 players in the dmeonland banner

[Radar Detector 1,339]

Sylvia

Davey

Scully

I think that if Sylvia plays a full season and we are in the mix for finals, he is a serious Brownlow chance. Davey, I think, will relish the formal leadership role and Scully has the goods, it's just a matter of when he explodes onto the scene.

I think Green is the real danger to upset my top three with Jamar and Grimes if he stays fit.

Did you know he's paying 80-1? That's 20-1 for a place

[e25 5]

Betstar have him 101-1

[Demonator 93]

1. Sylvia 2. Scully 3. Davey

Why is it that you've picked nearly every player in the poll ?

If Sylvia, Davey and Green are the top three we have made the finals.

I felt a few were under-represented.

And I was curious to see if anyone would even notice.

I figure my top 2 are Sylvia and Davey, with the rest tying for 3rd.

it was a simple request to keep it to 3, most of us are adults

And guess who did....

Can't wait to see what your brother picks.

[Eth 4]

Sylvia, Green, Grimes for mine.

[jayceebee31 692]

It looks like we all think similarly.

I went straight to Sylvia, then Green, then I couldn't go past Davey.

Well I didn't- I went for Jurrah, Davey, Green with Watts as a SMOKIE..

[Samsara 65]

I went Sylvia, Grimes and Scully, but we have a lot of great players who are worthy. Exciting times ahead for sure.

[Deeoldfart 7,842]

Green to repeat the dose in 2011. His durability puts him ahead of Sylvia IMO. Throw a blanket over the rest of field for third, but I gave it to Scully, just to underline what we already know about his professionalism.

Watching this poll, I find it interesting to see that after all of the speculation, and virtual wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth over the potential loss of Scully, and how important he is to the club on it's path to the ultimate prize, he is polling a relatively low number of "votes"... does this mean that his star is yet to rise and many don't think he is likely to be a top 3 performer (despite the fact he was in the top 10 in his first year), or is this a backlash over a perceived defection?

I think you're trying to read between lines that aren't even there

Not really... it was a genuine question. You read the Scully thread on here and 'ology and you would think that the club will sink without him (not that I think he will go), yet no one seems to rate him just yet :-)

that is crazy talk, he is coming 5th as a second year player in a team of stars, he is obviously rated! He is beating FRawley, All-Australian and B+F runner-up last year!

Yeah, you're probably right :-) But my comments were based on a combination of the amount of distress his possible departure was causing and the fact that he was 8th in his first year and could be expected to do a lot better this year with a year and a full pre-season behind him (which is why I picked him in my top 3).

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

I'm surprised to see how low Moloney is in the voting. He's definitely not in my top three, but considering how many thought he would make such a great captain, I am surprised he isn't polling higher.

Also surprised that Russian doesn't have more. He's and AA who dominates games, and is effective even when he is not in the ruck.

If Sylvia, Davey and Green are the top three we have made the finals.

Call of the year so far.

If we can get 20 games out of these 3 plus Jurrah we'll win more than we lose.

1 Davey

2 Sylvia

3 green

Smokey - Dunn after a 40 goal season?

At the 2010 Bluey these were the vote getters...

Green 295

Frawley 277

Jamar 231

Davey 194

Sylvia 170

Either we want Frawley and Jamar to drop out of the top 3 to make the finals???

Green played 22 games, Davey played 20 and Sylvia played 15. I am not sure how much quantum improvement an extra 5 games from Col would give us. Its a plus but how much?? Having Jurrah play a full season and performing will be important.

However Green, Jamar, Davey and Sylvia are doing what you would want them to do. We need them to repeat that performance in 2011. What you see is what you get. Leadership, solid good mature football. Only Sylvia has the unfilled potential to be an out and out game breaker. He has teased but has not delivered yet. Davey will burst in spasms and do it with class. We need it to happen more often

The big area of improvement is giong to come from our younger players who mature and stand up to perform at the highest. When they start following Chippa's lead on perform and they challenge for Top 5 in the Bluey then we are a finals prospect

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,611]

Excellent response RR.

I guess you need some some variety and surprise in the Bluey. Having said that if our 4 most talented players- Sylvia, Davey, Green and Jurrah all play 20 plus games, then we'll likely win 11 + games.
