We probably low balled him because he isn't very good 

But good enough to play in the majority of games?? Just quietly we would NOT have won vs Carltank without him!

4 other Clubs appear to  have a different  and presumably offered more.

There is nothing in what  I posted that suggest he's an A grader.

But he did play more games than Weideman got in a dysfunctional forward line so I can only assume it's budget vs current contract.

Did you not understand my post?

Just watched the couple of videos uploaded by the club from last night and the first thought is that Kate Roffey is all class. Consider how she spoke about Dogga moving back west in comparison to how Adelaide spat the dummy at Rick Lever.

You make tough decisions early so you don’t end up doing a Collingwood who will be paying around $700K next for players not on their list

its clear we don’t see Hunt as part of our plans and the coaches expect Bowie etc to replace him next year 

Yeah clearly ,but it still makes an interesting reflection on the list  "carnage " if they were trying to fit Jackson in.

I guess we don't know what Hunt considers too low or whether he was also  "encouraged " verbally to explore his options.

Bowey is a superior talent, can even shift Brayshaw to the backline now

Hunt would be 4th or 5th choice next year

These endless breaks are killing me. I’ve just worked a 65 hour week. I cannot stay awake for this. 

Tell me about it. I gave up, talk about dragging it out.

[Lucifers Hero 36,991]

Petty played only 18 of the possible 24 games. 

On an 'average votes/game' basis he came 7th rather than 15th on a 'total votes' basis.

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,128]

Jackson finished a surprisingly high equal 13th.

Demonland voters have once again picked the same winner as the Club - and in this instance have the same Top 6, albeit slightly different order.

Exactly. Got 1st and 2nd and 4th correct.  Though the Oliver-Petracca quinella was paying $1.02!!! 

[spirit of norm smith 12,886]

Ps. Max and Jess and George Gawn off to Milan for the end of year trip.  Players have certainly stepped up the end of year trip.  Not Noosa or the GC or Bali anymore.   🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[DubDee 20,537]

Top 5 comprised of a Pick 2, 3 and 4.
F/S that would have gone top 5 and a bloke traded in with pick 6

Would be nice to have a pick at the pointy end again this year

[Lucifers Hero 36,991]

This is the ranking based on average per game played.

Our voting system scores a player our of 40 for each game. 

 

So only the top 5 got a pass ie >20 votes per game.

I doubt our coaches would be shy about giving a player 0 in a game which clearly would bring the average down.  Looks like a lot of 0 to 2 votes during the year.

The biggest surprise for me is Lever.  He didn't have a good year but I didn't think it was that bad, especially as he had to shore up the defence in May's absence, Petty out injured and he himself played many games injured.

Clayton Oliver will win more B & Fs than anyone in our history 

No doubt. Providing he doesn’t get injured he will win most years. Coming into his prime and already the best is I’ve seen behind Ablett jr.

I watched some of the stream but it dragged on too long. I was also disappointed that they didn't show more of the audience as I was hoping to see @WalkingCivilWar.

I reckon she would have been easily identifiable . 

A deranged looking ranga with an autograph book the size of The Pink Pages and blinding  all with the constant flash of irritating  selfies.

Makes the decisions to leave out Jordon and Bowey at the pointy end of the year extremely interesting

I saw Sparrow won the coaches award, no doubt that will set to guess wagging around here 🤣

That’s a very good point. Shows you where the value really is.

I think Jordon injured his foot or ankle. 

Bowey is the really interesting one.  My theory is that in the Geelong game they rag dolled him and was dropped so that he could bulk up.  He was probably tired having played about 20 games straight in his 'first' year into the second.  Will come back bigger and stronger next year.

That's really great thanks Luci, do you have the data for Hibbo and Rivers?

You obviously haven't met WCW. She's charming.

Thank you.

The club has published the votes for only the top 20 so I can't calculate the average.

Maybe someone who was there saw the total vote figures for them and post them here.
