Next year 3 of the top 6. COME TO THE DEES GAFF YOU SUPERSTAR!

Is it too soon to give Clarrie a 9 year contract (ala Franklin)?

Pay him whatever, organise him a part time job at a box making factor, and give his girlfriend a job as well!

Happy to offer him the job of Environmental Ambassador of Demonland. 

Had a read of the Herald Sun today (very rare) and looked up the votes for the dees game. 

3. Petrecca

2. Harmes

1. Crouch 

 

I was shocked especially as Gawn was 4 off the lead. The vote giver must of been the Adelaide correspondent who is a crows supporter and only watched them. I wouldn’t have petrecca in my top 5-7 and Harmes played well but not second BOG

I was baffled by those votes too. 

Gawn up to 18 votes in the afl.com Brownlow predictor, and Oliver up to 15.

Interestingly Oliver has polled in 9 games,  more than any other player.  If a few of those 1 votes turn into 2's or 3's he will be up around 20 votes.

Petracca??? Did they spell Oliver wrong?

Harmes I can understand, he killed Sloane then Gibbs with a broken hand.

The coaches could split them actually.  One coach gave Gawn 5, and the other gave Oliver 5.

They only noticed Harmes because they killed one of their players... I don’t notice Adelaide players (maybe Keith and Cheney who kept stopping our fwd thrusts) but I’m not a journalist... pretty poor if you ask me

Lol - what did Crouch do other than get smashed by our dominant midfield?

Demonland 2018... how this place has changed.

We're aiming for Hawthorn like arrogance by 2020.  

That's an extraordinary effort by Patrick Cripps. In our recent past when we were down the bottom, we had no-one anywhere near the top in any awards. It's reminiscent of how Flower stood out in a barren field throughout much of his career. 

It's a significant achievement for Gawn to be (at this stage) the best player in the league by the coaches.

Even with him leading this, I am actually expecting the Grundy will get the All Australian ruck gig.
