Looks like Oliver won the best young player award... is this award voted on over the space of two years or just the best players in their first or second year? Doubt it's the latter as the top 5 are..

Slow and 1 dimensional.
Did I stumble on the delusional pearlers?Couldn't disagree more. He's a gun, but his style of play is in no way complementary to ours, and is the type of player we are close to ridding from our list.
How so?Did I stumble on the delusional pearlers?
A player like Tom Mitchell would immediately take Jobe's spot and improve upon it. He's a big bodied inside ball winner who would feed it to players like Zachy or Zaka 15 times a gameHow so?
Can only work with what we've got. But our list strategy in the last few years has been addressing that. I'd be willing to bet it will continue to.Yet we persisted with Watson all year and when he did not play Bird played.
I completely agree with all of that, but none of that is contradictory to what I said. Perhaps read what I wrote before throwing DP out there.A player like Tom Mitchell would immediately take Jobe's spot and improve upon it.

And how, pray tell, does that not suit our game plan?I completely agree with all of that, but none of that is contradictory to what I said. Perhaps read what I wrote before throwing DP out there.
Speed and versatility (as well as good ball use) are attributes we have been seeking in our midfielders. He doesn't fit that very well.And how, pray tell, does that not suit our game plan?
We would be a sneaky chance for this years flag if we had Tom Mitchell as well as a fit Hurles , Raz and Hooker.A player like Tom Mitchell would immediately take Jobe's spot and improve upon it. He's a big bodied inside ball winner who would feed it to players like Zachy or Zaka 15 times a game
He is exactly what we are crying out for.Mitchell is no doubt a good player but I'm not sure he's what we need either.

His form dropped off a bit but I thought that was because he was getting tagged after mid-year, and he was learning to deal with that. I've said it a few times but getting his opponent to follow him between another of our players and their mark has been my favourite little trick this year. A few blokes have given us 50m from that hahaLet me preface this by saying I love this bloke.....but.....
Did anyone else think he developed a little bit of Cotchin-itis in the back half of the year? Felt like he was winning less of his own ball with less tackling and pressure work. Lots of cheapies, not hunting man and ball as he has in the past.
And yes....Cotchin does seem to have overcome this malady.
That's not 50 though?His form dropped off a bit but I thought that was because he was getting tagged after mid-year, and he was learning to deal with that.

If they're about to take a free kick (or they've marked it and are about to kick) and the opposition player runs through the protected zone, it's 50. Not sure if I worded it that well above, but Zach's opponent has run through the protected zone on a few occasions because they were tagging him and he lead them that way, before dodging around our player at the last second (his opponent continues in the original direction and infringes).That's not 50 though?
