There is zero chance an opposition coach is giving more votes to Daicos. McCrae has been gifting him points for 2 years. It has been shown over and over there is a significant difference in voting between McCrae and all the other coaches.

Finals footy is when it matters most. The stakes are higher, the expectations are higher. Its a level of footy that Home & Away footy can not replicate.

Nicks is an average coach and obviously gave more votes to Daicos than what Fly did in this game.

 

[doppleganger]

Nicks was pretending he didn't even notice Quaynor being booed during the game...what odds he also decided to not give him any votes?

 

[doppleganger]

A tough one.

Pies board best 5 voting - majority had DeGoey, Moore and Naicos in the votes.

After that - IQ, Elliott, Maynard, Frampton, Long and Sidey - all received decent support.

But obviously a plausible scenario where Fly felt the urge to reward IQ for his ability to perform under the immense pressure.

Doesn't fit with your narrative though.

Imagine if Newcombe had performed better during the home and away season to help Hawks finish top 4 and secure a double chance, and therefore more likely to be a premiership contender?

You dont think Hawks are a chance for the Premiership this year?

Let's see if they contend for a flag.

You're not setting yourself up to give your team the best shot at winning a flag by finishing 8th.

Serong 10 v Rowell 6 is just stupid. Serong was not almost twice as good as Rowell.

That's how votes work....

Is the best player on the ground infinitely better than the 4th best player on the ground when Brownlow votes are awarded?

Brownlow votes, like AFLCA Gary Ayres votes are done based on opinion. They are "opinion awards".

Same with the AFLMVP and AFLCA awards....."Opinion Awards".

They are voted by groups of people based on their opinion.

Its not entirely impossible to win the Premiership from outside the top 4, but it doesnt happen often.

This post isn't smart

Jai Newcombe with 3 career finals, polling 23 of a possible 30 votes.

Same as serong I think
Was bog against dogs and suns
And polled 3 in the loss to the pies

You forgot to include the Norm Smith Medal...

But I guess that's FACTUAL, as opposed to 'opinion'.

Serong 10 v Rowell 6 is just stupid. Serong was not almost twice as good as Rowell.

Serong had 13 clearances
Anderson and Rowell had 10 together
They both had awesome games and were better in other stats.
Sebba was beast mode at the coalface

It’s shit we had to make the trade of a future great of the game in Neale to get a second high pick in 2019 draft which was serong.
Suns got Anderson for free
That would be nice

Really?

Thanks for confirming.
