Player Watch Marcus Bontempelli is overrated

[Rusty Brookes]

Hurts more when you take a spud the pick before.

Hey we took Mitch Thorp instead of Joel Selwood. We've all been there

Don't people have to rate you to be overrated?

Is this OP?

Classic!

Dan Lonergan is a very pessimistic Dogs supporter.

The Coodabeens based their character Danny from Droop Street on this bloke.

Got it right, didn't they?

I think clearly best mid in the AFL at the moment. Love watching him play and seems like a terrific bloke. Only complaint is he is not a Saint.

You got Steele for a song and he's one of the best mids in the comp. Swings and roundabouts.

Probably given to him out of pity because of how bad he is

Don't have an issue with him being named MVP

But best captain is a wank award isn't it?

Just like the AA captain award is a wank too. A bunch of dinosaurs who aren’t even playing the game choosing someone.

I don't disagree at all

Buddy & Rance being named AA captains when despite their decorated careers had never been captains of their clubs highlight this

Add the captains award to the pile of awards that have no meaning in the afl

There are people that get medals for being b.o.g in a home and away match.

I genuinely agree here. No clue how you’re expected to truly assess the impacts of players as captains from the outside. Similar to Best Assistant Coach

Yeah its ****ing laughable

BOG in a preliminary final and no one cares but BOG in an Essendon v Collingwood game when both teams are shit and it's celebrated

Best assistant coach is probably the worst of them all

Who was voted best 23rd man?

 

[yeahmate]

Brownlow, AA, MVP, Captain's award. All are meaningless accolades serving only to tickle the vanities of the media and the couch potato fans. Football’s only true reward is to feel the leather on your skin, crunch your opposition and to hear the lamentations of the women. The Bont knows this to be true even if he isnt a very good player.

If lamentations of women are a good indication of one’s football prowess, I was a very, very good footballer.

Still B&F in a premiership year > Brownlow/MVP/Champion Player OTY

I might be a bit jaded on this but that is probably because Melbourne has had some bizarre B&F results in recent years. Coaches award means a fair bit too, and I'm not just saying that because Oliver won it. Have been saying for years it is a highly rated award, as are most of the media ones tbh.

Out of curiosity, why do you hate the Dogs so much?

No dramas from me handing out these medals but do laugh when posters use them on a players CV as of it means something.

(Full disclosure - I've probably done this on occassions)

Coaches award is the most meaningful, and the AFLPA the least. Some players have openly said they don't really watch footy (e.g. Chad Wingard), and yet they can vote. I don't blame them, I don't feel like watching videos of my job after hours. But it makes the AFLPA MVP seem a bit of a joke.

Did you miss the part where I have said several times that Bont is the number 1 player in the league

Best captain awards are a load of shit though and I stand by that
