Fyfe/Club and Freo fans will be spewing if Harvey gets off.
More so IF his named gets called next Monday night as the winner of the Brownlow which imo it will be.
Wont be good for the AFL and the player that's wins it ,might cause an up roar.

I kind of like that the entertainment at the AFL Grand Final is kind of 'daggy'. We already try and implement too much from American sports leagues and I hope the AFL doesn't try and push the Grand Final more towards what the Super Bowl is which is an overpriced concert and advertising platform with a game of sport played around it. At least at the moment the footy is still pretty much centre stage at the Grand Final.

If Smith makes it then so should 3-4 taggers. They have to play on far better players (Ablett, Pendlebury, Rockliff, Fyfe, Selwood vs Elliott, Breust, Ballantyne) and often do more in offence

Well Fyfe ended up getting weeks for another incident anyway so it won't matter.
Isn't Nick Smith's prospective selection more similar to Daniel Talia's? Or Eric Mackenzie's? Defenders who aren't top shelf rebounders. Smith averages more touches per game than both of those guys by the way.

Isn't that exactly what a tagger is, just against far better opposition? A player who tries to shut down a midfielder of high impact?
Yes but taggers, by virtue of playing on midfielders, are classified as midfielders. And that classification has Ryan Crowley competing for spots with Ablett, Rockliff and all the others you mentioned. Not to say taggers don't deserve a spot, but AA selectors the likes of Danny Frawley and Luke Darcy are not going to look into their selections with enough nuance to really consider them on such merits because they are tremendous deadshits.
Defenders, on the other hand, are there to defend first and get the ball second, for the most part. That's why there's generally only 1 or 2 rebounders picked each year. The majority of defenders are picked because they defend well.

I still disagree about Nick Smith but have quoted a part of your post I am sure we can all agree on
