The 'he should have won' thread.....

[MinerBoy]

A thread for that guy who should have won <insert award here> but didn't.

Give us your thoughts on those obvious ones that missed out.

For me - Brendon Goddarrd should have won the Norm Smith Medal in the 2010 drawn Grand Final.

IMO that was the best GF performance by any individual of the past 10 years. No disrespect to Lenny who played well but Goddard 'should have won'.

Fremantle 2013 Grand Final....

1. That guy insinuates individual award. There's a million stories of poor kicking, umpiring etc for teams
2. Despite kicking poorly, Freo weren't favoured to win and were still outplayed on the day. They didn't give themselves the best chance to win with their kicking, but it's a long bow to draw to say they should have won.

Yep close. I think you meant Mitchell though

Goddard not winning the norm smith in 2010 was a disgrace. It's about the best individual game of football I've seen from anyone at AFL level. It's ruined his career post 2010 a bit since expectations became huge, especially in 2011.

Nat Fyfe 2011 club B & F, he finished 2nd behind Pav in what was a surprise to most Freo fans.
Nat Fyfe 2014 Brownlow & Coaches award. Suspension cost him a trifecta.

Mckernan 1996 Brownlow. Boomer 2008 Brownlow.

If your looking at team things then North 1998 flag.

Voss 02 Norm Smith

Peter Knights should have won 2 brownlows ( 76, 78) but was cruelled by injuries.

 

[wcesam]

Yeh I think OP has already mentioned the biggest one in recent times anyway, Goddard was immense in that game.

 

[Danny Cullen]

Voss 2002 Norm Smith. From memery votes were in for Buckley well before the end of the game, Voss really turned it on late in the game to ensure his side won.

I had money on Lenny for Norm Smith that game, so I wasn't complaining

Warren Tredrea "should have won" MVP in 2004.

 

[Big Fresh]

Brendon Goddard should have won the 2010 Norm Smith.
Tom Hawkins should have won the 2011 Norm Smith.
Dan Hannebery should have won the 2012 Norm Smith.
Jack Gunston should have won the 2013 Norm Smith.
Sam Mitchell should have won the 2014 Norm Smith.

If St.Kilda didn't have Lenny Hayes in the first half we weren't even in the game.
People concentrate on highlights. Who kicked it to Goddard for his screamer? Who kicked a long bomb outside 50 to give us the momentum back.
Goddard played extremely well, as did Lenny. Saying Goddard not winning it is 'a disgrace' is pathetic.

1993 Norm Smith Medal.

Gary O'Donnell topped the possession count that day. Was awesome.

They gave it to Longy for his dynamic play.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

1989 Brownlow Medal.

Tim Watson won just about every football media that award that year. Was the best player in the competition by some distance. How Couchy won the Brownlow still scratches everyone's heads.

Andrew McLeod, after taking out the Leigh Matthews Trophy as the Player's MVP and the Malcolm Blight medal as the Crows B&F, he should have made it a trifecta with the 2001 Brownlow Medal.

21 votes at the end of round 19, 1 vote ahead of eventual winner Jason Akermanis.

R20: Leading possession getter on the ground in a 10 goal win over North Melbourne, 35 touches, 1 goal, 0 votes
R22: Clear best on ground with 37 touches, 1 goal in a 5 goal loss to Fremantle, 0 votes

Akermanis picked up 3 votes in Brisbane's 6 goal win over Geelong in R21 and pulled 2 votes clear, the rest is history.

Ablett 2010 Brownlow Medal.

 

[mike123]

Dale Thomas should have won the Norm Smith in the one of the grandfinals.

 

[Gough]

Stephen Kernahan won the 1983 Magarey Medal by eight votes but was ineligible and Tony Antrobus Bradburyed it.
