The overruling derby was the one where the voters selected Ashley Sampi.

Yes. But why didn't he overrule it in 2006 when he thought Josh Carr was more deserving?

 

[XXRL]

Because Chris Judd is Chris Judd.

It was obvious to just about everybody at the ground that Josh Carr was BOG and had just played the game of his life.

 

[Nothing]

They changed his right to overrule after that.

Check out the latest 360 on the vid thread. Section on fyfes first 100. Good section but they don't out his contested marking stats in which skews things a little. Judds first 100 were unbelievable.

I'm not sure if he ever did have the right - they just made sure he knew it after that.

SHOULD of had a 2013 Premiership and Norm Smith (couple of kicks off that feat), 2013 All Australian and a 2014 Brownlow Medal.

Buuuuut that's irrelevant, still a champion and I'd have him over the other guys hands down.

Am I missing something with Priddis, what does everyone see that I don't?

Big numbers on the stats sheet. That's what the umps base their votes on half the time.

And his magnificent flowing head of hair also catches their eye.

Priddis is a really solid performer. Very good hands in close and knows where to be to get hold of the footy. He's not a good kick and never does anything particularly spectacular, but he gets the job done at clearances against the poorer midfields. The thing with brownlow votes is West Coast have literally no one else worthy of a brownlow vote.

Nope, it's what Freo lacks - other players (namely mids) to take votes away from him.

 

[Mockcockpit]

Fyfe on track for a lazy 50 votes in the Chas.

Their new Fyfe may steal some - he's already on 5, as is Kennedy (KennedyKennedyKennedyswingbatter).

Yeah but he is a liability defensively, and the type of player that I have no fear of us allowing 40 possies too. I agree with the lack of other players taking vote but if you were given the ability to take 5 players f your choice from wce he wouldnt be one... I have always liked priddis and although i dont rate him as a star always thought he had done well for himself coming in as late as he did etc.... but it was embarrassing that he won the brownlow.

we can only dream, add 2015 brownlow if 2014 was taken away from him.

That he gets plenty of loose possessions. lots of them but he is harmless.
Umpires don't have to consider whether his disposals are hurting the opposition.

Geez when you add up his losses you can understand why he is such a hard worker. He shoots straight, we bag 2013 and he gets Norm. He doesn't try to take off Lewis' head, he get's the Brownlow. He is the master of his own destiny and now, after 7 games, he must believe FYFE HAS THE POWER!!!

I have him at 5 bogs to rd 7.

Truckies rule.

 

[Mockcockpit]

Yep. It's actually hard to make a case that he'd be out of the votes in any game so far.

 

[clogged]

I reckon Priddis will poll fewer Brownlow votes this season, even in games he deserves them.

 

[Quinz]

Yep. It's actually hard to make a case that he'd be out of the votes in any game so far.

Do you think he'll poll in the derby? I had prime viewing for that cluster****, and it looked like Neale and Hill were clearly the two best on ground, particularly when the game was won (the first 7 minutes). He might poll the one, but there would have been a few in line for it.

I agree with clogged too, I don't think Priddis will poll as well playing the same games he did last year- unconscious from the umpires, but that can happen when a player wins a Brownlow that seems a bit undeserved. Same thing happened to Judd in 2011- won it in 2010, people thought he would bolt it in that year but he didn't come close to Swan, who many thought was robbed the year before.
