What a strange award.
Menegola is 25 and Adams is 24 and played 11 games.
Not to mention the innumerable other players under 25 who are better than that whole list save Oliver.
I feel like i'm missing something really obvious here...

No age or games limit, you just have to be in your first 2 years of senior footy. I think they've made a blue with Menegola though, surely the 3 seasons he spent at Freo and the Hawks count??

Petracca also in his third season. They must only count seasons where you actually play

ROBBED!


Not nominated for goal of the year.

 

[Howard Moon]

Reckon he will benefit from the week off, needed a freshen up. Will come out breathing fire again

 

[Vindicater]

Has become a seriously good player.

Reckon he is a bit like Stevie Johnson and Cyril in that he is built for finals. Reckon he will go ape s**t on Saturday.

 

[Summer Nights]

Based on what exactly?

 

[Whispering_Jack]

Based on what exactly?

All the finals he's played. Durr

 

[maskmcgee]

This is how you know you've made it

 

[blitzer]

If there was one player I could pick to dominate for us against the Swans it would be Tippa. When he gets lots of the ball - you just know he's going to hit up targets on the lead and our whole forward line is just going to work. Not to mention when he is getting those run down tackles it lifts our entire side.

I agree that the week off will have done him good. Last year we needed to rest him, this year we played him 22 games. I think there's a chance we'll see his absolute best on Saturday.

will be key today. If he can minimise Buddy's influence it will go a long way to winning this.

And how is Walla going to curb Buddy's influence?

watching how he does it is what i'm most looking forward to!

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

And how is Walla going to curb Buddy's influence?

Run the big prick down when Buddy is taking the piss with a 4 bounce run along the wing. That would be sweet and Hooker would love it too.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

If we are any chance today, Walla has to curb Buddy's influence like he did in round 14.

Awks.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Awks.

The whole team was basically s**t.

 

[Vindicater]

Awks.

Oh well.

 

[quotemokc]

Our kicking did him no favours

 

[Zach Package]

Good form from A Hepp

 

[Mercuri Rising]

tipungwhoopi is best whoopi

 

[resurrector]

lacked zip and looked sore against the swans. would love for him to build up his tank and spend more time in the mid next yr
