Daniel Bell absolutely shafted in the B + F

[Yze_Magic 3]

1. James McDonald

2. Nathan Jones

3. Matthew Bate

4. Brad Green

5. Aaron Davey

6. Cameron Bruce

7. Jeff White

8. Brock McLean

9. Nathan Brown

10. Russell Robertson

Didnt even make the top 10. DISGRACEFUL. The voters should be ashamed. Bell was easily one of our best 3 or 4 all year

[sylvinator 96]

another year Travis Johnstone doesnt make top10 b&f!!!

absolutely pathetic!!!

thatis why he should be traded while he still has market value!

he is a disgrace. for someone of his talent, he should be top 5 in our bnf every year, and should be taking the afl by storm.

shame on u Johnstone. only 1 top10 bnf in 9 years at the club!

also,

good on Matthew Bate. i thought he had a fantastic year. he will hold down CHF in the future and will absolute dominate. sticky hands, great footy brain and good goal sense.

Bate, Mclean, Sylvia and Rivers and the only 4 players on our list capable of being A+ players.

let's hope they perform better than our potential stars of old (johnstone/green/bruce) who never became A- graders

agree... i dont think he was worthy of top 5.... but he did play some good games and really developed..... mclean out... and slip bell in at 8

swap white with davey and brown with robbo

Im not a fan of Bell but how McLean made a spot and not Daniel is stupid to say the least

[Jaded No More 68,913]

Absolute joke!

Belly, even though he missed some games through injury, was our best and most consistent defender all year. Or is this like the Brownlow medal, no votes given to defenders?

Davey making the top 5 is puzzling. He had a horrible year, in fact, his worst year to date.

At least the people in charge of voting are no longer a part of our club. I think it's fair to say that October 1, 2007 will go down as a day to forget for the MFC.

The results absolutely reflect the year from hell that we had .

IMO for Bate to come third and Davey fifth suggests masssive dilemmas were faced by the voting panel in their struggles to find anyone worthy of giving votes to - the former was very ordinary and the latter was very poor .

They won't. We have a new coach and a new group of assistants for next year.

[Pates 9,660]

How many games did he miss? He had a really good year, but maybe his missed games cost him too much.

[Hards 2]

I would have stopped awarding anything after the top 4.

The rest didn't deserve to be classified as top 10.

In fairness:

1. James McDonald - 21 games, 489 possessions @ 23/game (1), 131 tackles (1), 3 goals

2. Nathan Jones - 21 games, 365 possessions @ 17/game, 86 tackles (2), 10 goals

3. Matthew Bate - 19 games, 294 possessions @ 15/game, 94 marks @ 5/game, 59 tackles, 19 goals (4)

4. Brad Green - 18 games, 384 possessions @ 21/game (3), 117 marks @ 6/game (4), 49 tackles, 13 goals

5. Aaron Davey - 18 games, 258 possessions @ 14/game, 74 tackles (3), 24 goals (3)

6. Cameron Bruce - 16 games, 377 possessions @ 23/game (4), 96 marks @ 6/game (5), 66 tackles (5), 9 goals

7. Jeff White - 22 games, 356 possessions @ 16/game, 127 marks @ 6/game (2), 461 hitouts, 41 tackles, 7 goals

8. Brock McLean - 14 games, 254 possessions @18/game, 60 tackles, 4 goals

9. Nathan Brown - 19 games, 416 possessions @ 22/game (2), 137 marks @ 7/game (1), 46 tackles, 3 goals

10. Russell Robertson - 15 games, 169 possessions @ 11/game, 85 marks @ 6/game, 10 tackles, 42 goals (1)

I agree Hards. The top 4 all deserved their names in lights IMO.
