2 Brownlows too. GAJ-style. Wont do a thing to help them win games but he will sure look good running around in the green and black (or whatever).

Can someone remind me if he got ragdolled twice or three times at crucial stages of the PF? I can’t recall. And was it zero kicks he had in the crucial last quarter? Or none? Or nada? Or zip? Bahahaha.
He’s a terrific player loved by media and umpires … but when he’s named in the best 2 x players on the ground in a final when the game is at its hottest (hasn’t happened yet in 7) maybe let me know and I’ll show some interest.

Can someone remind me if Dusty did absolutely anything of note in his first 4 seasons?
Daics is miles ahead of the pack... regular podium finishes in all the awards, solid finals record and a Bradman-like domination of Brownlow voting
We've never seen anything like it
Dusty did nothing in his first 7 seasons of footy.
Dick Reynolds probably had his measure.Daics is miles ahead of the pack... regular podium finishes in all the awards, solid finals record and a Bradman-like domination of Brownlow voting

Brownlow is won by being adjudged BOG the most often. Pies bnf is usually won by the player who is most consistently good. They hand out tons of votes not just a 3 2 1.It’s an interesting question … do Brownlow votes provide a decent guide to who the best players are?
Cripps won with 45 votes. Rowell won with 39 votes.
In 2025 Cripps got 19 votes, TT got 20 votes and starting AA mid and Dogs B&F Ed Richards got 11 votes.
Daicos’s votes have coincided with the votes awarded becoming a joke.
I mean he’s getting ‘record numbers’ when Josh Daicos and Darcy Cameron are beating him to the B&F. Haha

Cameron got his arse handed to him on a plate twice by Gawn, who received 14 coaches votes from their 2 head to head meetings, and yet he's rewarded with the B&F ? Yes, it's only 2 games, but when you're thoroughly beaten twice by one of your contemporaries you shouldn't be the club champion.
So, I am pleasantly surprised that Bench Boy didn't salute, notwithstanding his aversion to a hard ball.

Cameron and Gawn play 50 metres away from each other for the majority of games.

Thats a bit gutless of Cameron.

Yep. The players and not coaches decide their positioning... Rucks pick up the other ruck when they get ahead of the ball - but usually they separate and both play a kick behind the play.
What we did against Gawn was quite interesting last time - Cameron was making himself a target ahead of the ball in the corridor to try to get Gawn to cover him and stop protecting down the line. Gawn was too smart.

We finished top 4 3x years in a row, couple of finals failures but hey, like you we have one flag to show.

But we did it whilst we had 2 x dinosaurs carrying our midfield.
Which was my point.
How will Melbourne go when Petracca and Oliver are Sidey and Pendles age?

Our 2 x dinosaurs also have 2 x Premierships, but I’m not counting.

Petracca will be fine. Ultimate pro player. That’s why he wants out. Oliver, who knows, up to him how good he wants to be.

No wonder Nicky is the most selfish cry baby seagull we've ever seen. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree clearly
Not sure how their voting works but to be only 20 points better than Perryman for the year ?

I find it pretty remarkable that given all the fawning over Daicos that he isn’t even rated 1st by his own club at the B&F.
It’s clear that he has become very overrated. It’s more of a wake up call I think, stop peddling stats that lead into all these player ratings when quite obviously we are seeing stats grossly overrated against impact. I think he is an excellent player but I don’t think he is anywhere near as good as people have made him out to be. I mean, even his club thinks he isn’t the best and fairest.
Might be time to kill this thread I think…

Yeah, if it wasn't for the players, coaches, umpires, and every media outlet consistently voting him as the best, or one of the best, players in the competition, you could be right...
