[mikeod 21]

You're definitely the first I've seen to have Sylvia in the best.

[WonnaJurah 5]

I liked what I saw from him last night.

[Jaded No More 68,855]

I liked what I saw from him last night.

Was he really better than McLean's 33 touches, 13 contested possessions and 8 clearances?

[WonnaJurah 5]

It was a hard choice!

I was at the game on Saturday night and struggled to find 6 players worthy of votes. I have managed though, so here they are:

6 - McLean

5 - White

4 - Davey

3 - Jones

2 - McDonald

1 - Bate

While Brown got a lot of the ball, he wasn't damaging. Bate had a poor first half, but his second half was excellent. Did a lot of 1%s and attacked the football hard. Was very impressed with him again.

I'm also accepting Bananabender's votes as follows:-

sylvia was ordinary this award is completely rigged - Jones being on top is a joke

How so?

He's played almost every game, and has been consistent throughout the season.

He'll finish top 3 in the real B&F.

Because people play favourites and their votes are biased towards players that they like, usually young buzz players, for whatever reason.

Jones has been pretty good but he's averaging 16 possessions a game and is an ordinary kick - hardly starring

Jeff White, McDonald and Bruce should be whipping him in the votes

and sylvias polling is vastly inflated as well

[Yze_Magic 3]

I am the bigest fan of Sylvia, but no way does he deserve a vote for his game vs Brisbane

He was ordinary

Junior will win the Bluey by a mile, and I think Whitey will come 2nd

As for the rst of the top 5, raffle it between Sylvia, Bruce, Jones, Bell and Bate

[Jaded No More 68,855]

Jeff White and Bruce should be whipping him in the votes

Why is that? because they get 30 cheap possessions a game, or 40 hit-outs that don't go to advantage?

Statistics should have absolutely nothing to do with the way we value a player. Not when half of the possessions are soft receives, or fluffed kicks, or hit-outs that don't actually help the side win clearances.

Junior should, and will, finish top 3. His consistency, work-rate, hardness at the footy, and selflessness is the sort of stuff I hope our coaches look at when they award the votes. Not meaningless stats.

Jones may only be averaging 16 possessions a game, but what about tackles? first possessions? clearances? And how about time spent on the ground? His possessions are influential, and his 'ordinary kick' puts Bruce's kicking skills to shame.

There will always be some bias in the way people vote, but Jones' position is nothing shocking and he will finish very highly in the real B&F.

No i think it is you who is the joke. Jones has been outstanding this season. His aggression and determination is inspring. a few of the more senior players should take a leaf from his book.

$100 says Jones and Sylvia arent in the B+F top 3!!! If I'm a joke, take the bet

I'll take that bet. One of them will be in the top 3 for sure.

McDonald will win the B & F by a mile.
