Congratulations you absolute superstar. A beast, a contested footy machine, a warrior. Underrated by some, but not by those who understand the game best. 
 

Yep, well done, Clarry. Brilliant. Let's get this flag now.

 

 

He couldn't give more appraisal to Simon Goodwin as he did then.

Goody looked like a proud father.

Well done Clarry! Come a long way since the days of rocking up fat to a Murray Bushrangers pre season training in Wangaratta 😉

Tick.

Hasn't missed a game in 5 years. a beast of a player

Highly deserved for an outstanding season.  The most prestigious individual award of all IMO.

Posted before but worth digesting again, phenomenal

Love the way he just keeps going and going.  And everything for the team.  
Nearly at the summit Clarry - get it done. 
❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

Clarry is a superstar.

I’ve just checked the round 23 votes though, and Scott strikes again. Bizarre voting. How did Stanley get more votes than Max?

we all knew clarrie was something special after his first season

now everyone knows

Sympathy votes from Scott for Stanley there if ever I've seen them.  Given Stanley restricted his opponent to 25 touches, 39 hitouts, 6 marks, 7 clearances and the match winning goal, I'd hate to think what Scott was thinking Maxy was capable of without Stanley's stellar job!

Chris Scott is a [censored]. My most hated coach in the AFL.

The Breakdown

5 + 5 for Clarry

4 Trac & 4 Selwood

3 Lever & 3 Dangerfield

2 Stanley & 2 Dangerfield

1 Hawkins & 1 Max

A brownlow and norm smith to come.

Wow, that's true. Which means Goodwin has never coached a game without Oliver in the team.

Except that caretaker one at Essendon. But that, like all things Essendon, isn't worth remembering.

Lol. Thanks to that game, Simon Goodwin has coached the equal-second-most finals wins of any Essendon coach since 1968.

I digress.

Congratulations to Clayton Oliver on not only winning the coaches award but frankly romping it in!

When will Essendon break these embarrassing records? (Hopefully never.)

My guess...

Goodwin
5 Oliver  (because obviously)
4 Petracca  (because dees)
3 Dangerfield (because he torched us in the 2nd when the game was almost lost)
2 Stanley (because he beat Gawn in the 2nd when the game was almost lost)
1 Gawn (because he pulled us back into it and then won it)

Scott
5 Oliver (because obviously)
4 Selwood (because cats)
3 Lever (because there has to be a reason they lost)
2 Dangerfield (because cats)
1 Hawkins (because cats)
