nah... this is a popular vote award... will be won by a player who plays for the big clubs

Bit of a joke actually having such an award ... worse than the Gold Logie

A worthy wearer of jumper 31!

Easy tiger. Lets wait for a season or two before assessing his worthiness to wear the jumper of the great ronald dale.

The AFL isn't putting it to public vote anymore.  Ditto GOTY.

Nonetheless, imagine what it does for Fritsch's confidence...not bad to be nominated twice in your first 6 AFL games - suspect there will be many more to come.

Will say it again, hes already a better player than Watts.

And yes I will compare them as it was a direct swap and we will win it by the length of the Nullarbor

I feel like we say that about most who wear that jumper.

Don't mean to be picky but he's only played 5

First second he spends in defensive 50, mark of the week. Shows how easy Howe has it.

I like the fact that both Bailey and Mitch can take the ball at its highest. Congrats Bailey on the nomination. Keep em coming.

Slight but understandable overstatement. It's not yet the mark of the week, just a nomination. That's still a great achievement, though. As a minimum it means it was considered to be better than every other mark taken in this round except possibly two.

For what it's worth, I expect Jack Darling's mark to win. A true contested mark against three defenders.

I honestly cannot remember even one who wore the number with distinction since the great RDB - Fritsch to me looks the best so far.

Many have been great disappointments (to say the least): Ray Groom was probably the best of a bad lot in my memory.

Pretty sure they’ve changed the voting system this year after the Howe upset? 

This kid has courage in the air and strong hands, silky skills also, great pickup from the club.
