Gee I thought Gawn would bolt in, he carried us all year.

Bluey just like the Brownlow Redleg, a midfielders award

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

The club B&F is always interesting given it's based on what the coaches want from the players which is often quite different from what the outside public wants/ thinks is a quality game,

I personally think any  of the top 5 would have been a deserving winner this year.

Yep, and people on here were calling for his head saying he should be stripped of his captaincy and dropped to the VFL! Just the sort of culture we want to be known for...

 

Well done Jonesy!!

Same with Tyson ("we mucked another draft/trade up etc."), but he had a phenomenal second half of the year!

I'm shocked Gawn is not streets ahead, interesting voting system to say the least.

He had a few games he was beaten, fair enough, true of all players. He certainly has as many big games as any others. 

I think he's been marked harshly for games where he beat up on bad rucks without huge influence around the ground. Seems stiff.

Dom Tyson will storm home and either win it or come 2nd.

On the maths, suggesting that Tyson will win is a bit like when you've gotta kick 6 goals to none in the last quarter to win, when you've only kicked 4 in the whole game up to that point.  It might happen, but it probably won't.

He was clearly our most valuable player all year and the best Ruck in the AFL. Can't understand why he didn't poll more votes.

Tyson's disposal was abysmal in the Cat's game.

Sharing the love around. All Australian. Same as Hunt winning best young player ahead of rising star listed players.

Wasn't on his Pat Malone.

Viney was hardly seen against Carlton and Jones was injured against Geelong. That's where I see Dom catching them. However it is a big gap.

Viney was even more garbage against Geelong.

His last 2 games were putrid by his standards and may cost him the Bluey. Actually he was also average against Port as well. 

Hoping Tyson somehow gets it. He seems to be tonight's sentimental favourite.

Doesn't matter whether he was on his Pat Malone or not in context of the B&F.

[Nasher 33,617]

Tyson won't win guys, he's way too far behind.  Get your calculators out.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

What's the count at?

[bjDee 1,249]

And now to the real serious stuff:  Is the Johnnie Walker Blue stand there again tonight?

[Crystal Dees 372]

Even if Jones doesn't win, well done to the just 2 people out of 170 who picked him in the poll. True believers ?

If you did, absolutely!

I've closed the poll now so you cheating buggers can't add/change your votes when the result is pretty close to over.  Enjoy! :D

Nah i wasn't one of the 2, went with Big Maxy.

[Maybe next year 170]

I wonder who the other in the poll would be. I would have guessed Jetta. In my opinion he was bette than Tom Mac

Where does Hogan rank?
