If Heeney?

[Lingsface]

If Heeney is able to produce another big performance, where are we rating this finals series?

I would say it would have to be close to the best?

Are you just trying to bait Richmond supporters?

Hahaha I’m not, there are many players up for debate. McLeod 98 Ablett 89 Matera 92 Martin 19 Cable 77 Bell 99 Hird 2000 Hodge 15 just to name a few.

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

It’s actually a fair point.

How many players have multiple BOG’s in a single finals series?
Dusty certainly has across a few finals series, as has Ablett early in his career, but it’s very rare air.

It is where it will head though with them arguing with anyone who puts someone else above Martin

Yes you are right.

Outstanding finals series so far, and I expect he’ll cap it off on Saturday. I’ll leave others to debate where it ranks exactly

I thought his game against GWS was one of the best games I’ve ever seen from a player in a final.
It all happened when the game was there to be won or lost.

I think the voting record for the Ayres Medal is 28. If he gets BOG on Saturday he'll go to 35

The GF loading only came in from 2022.

At the end of that game, I was struggling to think of a better individual performance that I've seen, not only in finals, but also home and away games.

Has to get there first

Zorķo could also pull Heeneys pants down and hold him to just 5 handpasses!

No

I don’t think the 28 had the 1.5x GF weighting

It was also in a lesser team, with lesser competition for votes, against lesser opposition.

 

[Gavin Excell]

A strong GF performance would reinforce his standing (in my eyes at least) that he was the best player in 2024

He's the best player of 2024 regardless of his Grand Final performance.

He's already done more than enough.

It's
1. Heeney
2. Cripps
3. Daicos
4. Bontempelli
5. Hogan
6. Warner

Then a gap to the rest.

You have an obsession with the Swans

I enjoy watching you have to change how we are going to fail every week after you are wrong

It's like the bullet time effect in The Matrix!!

You'll fail celebrating if you win just you wait!!

The first time, the second time or the third time?

 

[Fadge]

All of the above.

Kudos to Richmond, they peaked at the right time.

Despite scraping into the top 4 in all of their premiership years, who were their strongest opposition?

The GWS, Geelong and Collingwood teams of the time? The latter two teams fielding solid though not outstanding teams that were far inferior to the better teams they have fielded since the turn of the century.

Will be the best finals performer in a losing team since Buckley 2002

Buckley only played one other final that year, PF- 18 possesions.

Was a ripping 18 possessions
