Can you explain what this meant? I seem to have missed something... ?

That's ok. On one of the other subjects, perhaps even after we beat them, it was mentioned that Hawthorn had made some sort of unofficial overture to Trac. I think that is inappropriate and having the ##it kicked out of them is.....

    Glad we didn't get any winners. 

    The Rising Star is nothing but a distraction. Bigger glory ahead...

    Hopefully Mills wins.

    Interesting that we bid on Mills and Heeney.

    Taylor knows what he's doing.

    I think Roos had some inside knowledge, particularly of Heeney, through the youth academy he was coaching.

    Mills deserved to win it 

    Absolutely ,  but  Petracca only  2 votes ???.......not in the first five ???

    Mills was a deserved winner. I am not surprised none of ours were in top 5. In saying that I would prefer to not have one winner but have 4 nominations with potentially the best of those eligible in Hunt not even getting one.

    I haven't seen explosive pace like Dangerfield's, power yes...but several times Petracca was caught short for pace and in fact I was questioning through the season whether he was playing too heavy and would be asked to come back lighter for next pre-season.  Don't misinterpret my comments, I'm a huge wrap for him but he hasn't demonstrated elite pace, which clearly is an attribute of Dangerfield's.

    Agree with this. He's extremely strong through the hips, which enables him to shrug tackles ala Judd, Ablett and Dangerfield, but his pace isn't explosive like those guys.

    The Ricciuto comparison seems apt to me.

    He has more X factor than Ricciuto.

    Dangerfield is a better comparison imho

    The 8-time All-Australian, Brownlow Medal-winning Mark Ricciuto who averaged a goal a game from midfield? You're seriously underselling him mate. He had an unbelievable amount of x-factor, could turn games off his own boot. Bloke was a freak.

    Best playing comparison for Petracca (in my eyes) is Dustin Martin. Not electric pace but has so much power, explosiveness, dangerous marking option, can split time between midfield and forward line...

    Just a lot less shithouse tats.

    Hunt winning our best young player award tonight shows how ridiculous the award is.

    They should revamp it. All players under 21 with less then 10 games experience at the start of the year can remain eligable. Have 9 judges who take 1 game a week each and give votes similar to the brownlow of 3, 2, 1 for players who meet the criteria in that match. You can then maybe still have a weekly standout player who picks up a bonus vote for the final count that's announced each Tuesday similar to now.

    Just a thought anyway
