W. S. Crichton Medal - SHOCK: Watson Wins

[byronstjames]

Apologies if I missed something, but I jumped on the EFC website expecting a live stream of the Crichton Medal tonight only to be disappointed. Is it exclusive to Bomber.TV or on Foxtel or something?

Out of curiosity I watched some of Carlton's last night, just wondering why we don't have something similar going.

 

[VelvetSledge]

I don't think so...

Yep, buy a ticket

Pretty much this.

No computer-watching peasants allowed!

You watched the Dirty Common Thief John Nicholls Medal? Shameful performance, sir! You will be roundly whipped out of town.

For mind a serious underrating of Howlett's year.
Or am I wrong about this assertion?

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Needs a wavy line between 1st and 2nd.

For mind a serious underrating of Howlett's year.
Or am I wrong about this assertion?

No, I'd agree.

FWIW I had second/third before his injury late in the year.

Anyone know how the votes for each game are done?

Top marks given to Jobe each round.

Rest of the votes assigned by donkey vote.

http://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/a/Crichton-Medal-voting-system/10039

Following each game, votes for the 2012 Crichton Medal are awarded by Essendon Football Club Match Committee.

The panel allocates a vote out of ten for up to eight players in each match. This means the maximum votes a player can receive per match is 40.

Christ even the coaches underrate howlett.

- Shocked that Heppell came second.
- Thought Fletch would finish in the top 3.
- Is Jobe's winning margin a record
- Half the top 10 - 4 years or less in the system- augurs well for the future.

 

[Synth]

I think Hepp finished second as he only missed one gam for the year unlike the rest of the boys below him.

Had a solid year, no real 'second year blues', just played his role well.

 

[FBDonkey]

I cant believe there wasnt a standing ovation for Jobe tonight. The guy won a fricken brownlow!!

 

[Shane Hird]

Howlett and Dempsey both had very solid seasons. Just what we needed. Two years ago we were wondering who was going to turn into our main midfield performers.

These two, Heppell and Zaka have been improving at a steady pace and are now very important cogs in the machine. Stanton is...Stanton...and will continue to be a better Stanton.

And Fletcher? What an Essendon legend. Unbelievable..

 

[Super Gusto]

Howlett prob was a little inconsistent and injury would have impacted his result. His best games were very good.

Great work, was about to do something similar.

Bomber insider posted the top 4 vote getters for each round last night but I haven't been able to get a total of the results.

Outside of the top ten it looks like Carlisle, Hibbered, Bellchambers and Monfries all polled well.

If I have time later I'll see if I can post a summary of the top 4 by round.

 

[silkybomber]

Yep, buy a ticket

Would love to have attended but cost of plane tickets during school holidays are ridiculus - rather save my money for some games in 2013. Thanks to people who kept us interstaters in the know by posts, twitters etc. -would have loved club to done the same.

 

[silkybomber]

Sorry meant to congratulate Jobe, Hepps , Fletch and others !
