Some interesting choices in there. I didn't think SDK would've featured in the votes simply because he didn't really have a lot to do. I mean, he was great in the contests as we've all gotten used to but Naughton being a non-factor was more on the way the Dogs played (or didn't play in the second half).

Good to see Gardner get some votes. Hawk kicked a few but he did a pretty good job all things considered. Did a reasonable job earlier in the year as well. I've noticed Dogs fans give him crap for... well, being crap - but on the limited time I've seen him he's not the worst KPD going around.

I know these have been posted above - but when did Blicavs get traded?

[Kaatman]

Noted an interesting umpiring decision on Saturday night when the Bulldogs player was not penalised for insufficient intent as the umpire claimed the player (Hawkins?) could have kept it in.

I have checked the rules and there is is no reference to this.

Anyone know if this is a known interpretation or the umpire just making it up?

Don’t know but I thought the ump was correct-Tom could have tried harder to keep it in play.

How two Dogs players got votes in a Geelong vs Melbourne game has got me beat.

Might've been restricted by his back........

I didn't notice that part,

Ah the back! Haha yep.

Can confirm umpire was making s**t up. No onus on players to keep a ball in bounds if the other team was the last in possession.

[thecatattack]

Sitting at the game I saw this but thought he was giving it to the ump as this happened after Ceg's 50, after Bont did the same but didn't give 50. Notice he goes to Bont too.

 

[Romeoh1]

Yep but wasn’t the point that it wasn’t deliberate by dogs-so Tom can do as he likes but it’s not deliberate if it’s gettable?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

This whole thing is why we need the last disposal OOB rule from the SANFL. Superior rule in every way

 

[cats_09]

The rule isn't "deliberate out of bounds", it's actually "insufficient attempt to keep the ball in play" - there's nothing in the rule which says that the opposition player has to try to keep the ball in play when their opponent is the one who went straight to the boundary line

The Bulldogs player didn't make any attempt to keep the ball in play, he went straight for the boundary line and the umpire gave him a BS get out of jail for free card

If that's the ruling you could say Hawk should have been penalised.
Seems dumb.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Seems dumb.

Our you could say that the kick was close enough to a player of either colour jumper that it could have stayed in.

The whole rule is dumb and we should never have brought it in. SANFL last touch rule is easy to the point of being like marking where it's self-umpired by the players 90% of the time.

 

[standupand]

Nice spread in the AFLCA votes, Stengle a little stiff not to pick up a vote IMO.

10 - Patrick Dangerfield (GEEL)
4 - Sam De Koning (GEEL)

4 - Mark Blicavs (GEEL)
3 - Ryan Gardner (WB)
2 - Isaac Smith (GEEL)
2 - Ed Richards (WB)
1 - Brad Close (GEEL)

Close with fewer votes than Ryan Gardner? Really?

I also thought Dunkley had a good game for the dogs but maybe it was just me noticing a few highlights?

 

[Spearman]

oh sweet jesus, there's not enough likes in the world....I'd even give a like to Lyon.

Ah well. I thought the ump ruled reasonably in the spirit of the game. Anyway, not worth too much stressing over.

[winty]

3 things I really liked about that clip:

• His pass to Gary Rohan
• The way he evaded 2 Bulldogs players on the wing.
• His pass at the end to Stengle.

 

[catempire]

It’s not my imagination is it - his kicking has improved even within this year?

I'm a little surprised Bevo didn't give more votes to WB players
