Is it really necessary to be so negative about JL?
It's not a fanboy site as far as I'm aware.

I've consistently heaped praise on him for 3 years.

He shouldn't have been playing in many of the games this year . Just struck me as really odd that he had so many votes early that weren't at all warranted imo. Seemed an anomaly to me ,that's all.

Maybe I'm still a bit dirty we didn't change things up earlier. Not really directed at him per se ,but might explain why we kept playing him when he was done.

Half of those guys are in that 23-25yo age bracket, and we have Dunkley coming who is currently 25 (26 in Jan) and won the Dogs B&F.

Pretty similar top 10 to last year with Neale and Berry in for Zorko and Lyons.

McCluggage now has four straight top 3 finishes (3rd in 2019 and 2020, 2nd in 2021 and 2022).
 
Thought kiddy might have finished higher

Wonder how low Zorko finished. After winning it (somehow) lastly it must have been a pretty dramatic fall
Zorko has a big pre-season ahead of him, otherwise he'll be captain of the VFL team instead.

This may have been mentioned before. Below is how votes are counted

How they vote: Coach Chris Fagan and the five assistant coaches allocate up to four votes each for an individual performance, meaning the maximum a player can receive for one match is 24 votes.

Looks like you can have a Lockie Neale carried us to victory game but no way Neale gets 24 votes

To anyone who attended the B&F function last night - any news on Marcus Adams. Did Marcus attend the event?
