2016 John Nicholls Medal - Congratulations Sam Docherty

[PumpyChowdown]

Congrats and thoroughly deserved. Just performed every week.

 

[ParapMarkets]

Clear favourite in my eyes. Well deserved Doc!

 

[Wiggo4PM]

Did we give up pick 33 for this guy Doc - wow

Thanks Brisbane.


I reckon sammy rowe is a bit stiff to not crack the top 5 - just for that game where he had to play ruck , forward, defence and dominated.

 

[Prem17]

A great win by Doc and he was a very worthy winner.
I was kinda hoping that Cripps would go back to back but you couldn't begrudge any of the top 3.
Great to see Wright and Rowe do well, that's great reward for their hard work.
Kerridge will do even better again next year with the confidence of establishing himself in the side.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Delighted we traded for this guy, rapt for him tonight and I am ecstatic he wears the Navy Blue.
Looking forward to him leading the team some day.

Magnificent young player, is Doc, very much deserved.

Tough, hard, smart AND genuinely bleeds Blue. We have a very good one here folks.

 

[Prem17]

Delighted we traded for this guy, rapt for him tonight and I am ecstatic he wears the Navy Blue.
Looking forward to him leading the team some day.

I don't think he will Surrey.
I think that Cripps will take over soon, if not next year and Doc will take over from Simmo as the unlucky Vice Captain.

He's the bastard spawn of Dean, McKay & Sexton or my name's not Starry Starry Night..........

 

[TeeJay Blue]

Doc is love. Doc is life. Nuff said.

 

[thylacine60]

Is now sacked.

Hand back the string, you can keep the chooks.

harsh

 

[raymagoo]

Can he play in the guts?

 

[TeeJay Blue]

Made a fair point Fev, but I think it should be a case of 'practice what you preach'. Horrific grammar.

 

[TeeJay Blue]

Another genius on twitter labelled our club shithouse because Sam Rowe finished in the top 5. They might need to read the final tally again.

 

[TeeJay Blue]

Finally, an Essendon supporter fished for likes, acting like Sam Docherty was a nobody. Probably would be one of the first players selected for their team, given their pathetic backline. Hurley ain't going to hold them up forever.

Twitter, never change.

 

[FootyGeek]

Congratulations to Docherty for the win. Hopefully many more top 10 finishes to come for the rest of his career.

Fingers crossed it will be his last for the club while keeping up the standards of 2016, and I am sure that Sam himself would happily agree because it would mean greater team success. We need some more youngsters to step up and take this award over. Year on year.

 

[Styxx]

Worthy top 10. Worthy winner.

Shout out to Sammy Rowe, second top ten finish, not bad for guy a lot of people wanted delisted during the preseason, he copped a lot of flak early on.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Missed most of the stream due to delivering pizzas for the in-laws. Got home to see the last 6 rounds or whatever it was.
Geez when Cripps got 16 votes towards the end there I thought they were setting it up for him to steal it.
Well done Doc! Massively deserved win. Well done to Simmo and Cripps for rounding out the top 3.
HUGE congrats to Rowe for a top 6 finish. Shame it won't (hasn't) shut up the haters.

[SBYM]

Well done Doc. Deserved winner.

And to a few of those Top 10 lesser lights...Great stuff. Gave their all for the jumper, can't ask for more than that.

 

[mediumsizered]

If the coaches set him to fumble time and time again then yeah, spose.......

Either this, or perhaps they noted that he outperformed a number of his teammates & did some very good shut down jobs in the 2nd half of the season on some of the opposition's most dangerous ball-getters.

If the coaches set him to fumble time and time again then yeah, spose.......

Don't be that guy, Thy...

 

[choo]

Made a fair point Fev, but I think it should be a case of 'practice what you preach'. Horrific grammar.

Fev copying Jude Bolton from last night.

 

[ferrisb]

From July.

I would like to formally congratulate Doc on his 2016 Carlton B&F win!

[Stig O'Hara]

Give me a song people.....

 

[sweetchoif]

Made a fair point Fev, but I think it should be a case of 'practice what you preach'. Horrific grammar.

Do we really care what this genius thinks? Something tells me we shouldn't be deferring to his Twitter account for strategic or philosophical I out into our clubs future

 

[HBF]

Congrats Doc. Thoroughly deserved after a fantastic season. And a pat on the back to Sam Rowe. Equal 6th and 1 vote off a top 5 finish.
