Biggs must come into the seniors IMO, he has lovely disposal and boy don't we need that going into the forward 50? Sprayers of the ball have no place in the modern game, they kill you with turnovers. Biggs was quite impressive late last year, deserves a run or a few games to try and establish himself.

I was very impressed by Biggs composure in his few games last year. Hope he comes in this week.

By the way replay is still not up. I just wrote an email to Patrick Carter asking when it would be up. I also asked him if there is a FB page. I will post his reply here. I was very strong in saying I was not writing on behalf of BF but off my own back to get information for the fans that could be posted here.

Was checking out the new NEAFL MVP votes from Round 1
http://neafl.com.au/fileadmin/user_upload/_temp_/NEAFL_MVP_Rd_1.pdf
The system is, the two coaches meet and between them award a 5-4-3-2-1 to 5 players. The umpires also meet and give a separate 5-4-3-2-1 to 5 players. So the max one player can score is 10 in a single game.
The breakdown from our Round 1 game against the Lions is as follows:
So the umpires and coaches couldn't agree on 1 single player that they thought were in their top 5. BTW, the official best listed Towers, Dick, Naismith, Biggs and Robinson so that must have been the coaches votes and hence Jones, Jack, Membrey, Heeney and Laidler were the umpires.

Pat Carter is the contact for NSW on the NEAFL site. He answers emails which I think is good.

No response so far Grimlock. It normally takes up to 12 hours. Mind you it could take up to a week for a replay to get onto the NEAFL site.

Umpires can generally only pick players who stand out, which suggests Jones/Jack etc had a lot more noticeable impact than the Towers/Dick group.

Umpires are busy and don't really have a very good view of the whole ground. Umpires generally notice flashy players and yet don't notice players who are consistently good. This is proved by the players who always win the awards, all flashy mids. Yet some players like Biggs, Naismith, Xav, Aliir etc may not get votes from the umpires simply because they don't play in the right position or are not flashy. Coaches on the other hand value these players because it is these players who keep the side on track week in week out.

They've added Round 3 votes, but mistakenly called them Round 2. So Round 2 votes still missing.

Dick named again. Seems to be coming along for a speculative late pick. Any ressies watchers got any comment on him this pre-season/season?

Season leaderboard has the top Swans Lloyd, Robinson and Membrey all on 10, which means Robinson polled 9 for game 2 and Lloyd and Membrey 0

Would you see Llyod as being close to getting a match at the moment? Had a strong season last year by all reports and seems to be kicking on.

Not surprisingly high possession numbers for us. Aliir even had 28!
Interested to hear what Atkinson's role was for them to get some votes in a 130 point thrashing. 16 disposals

Also noticed that Nanka didn't play. Must have been a senior in doubt going into the North match
Mitchell backed up Naismith and had 17 hitouts

Yah Aliir stood out and so did Hewitt again with 30. Mitchell looks to be getting involved too which is good. Lots of handballs!

Mitchell is my 3rd favourite player after Pyke and Jack. Long may his reign last.

Hewitt only played 70 mins too. that is a good sign he will be a very good player. Crouchy reckons his disposal is elite.
