someone said Kersten polled 10th? 10!! How? I like Shane and am hopeful he can improve, but wished he would stop being so lazy - he has a sweet set foot shot and can impact the scoreboard if you get the ball in his hands, but when the team is on the backfoot he goes missing big time. Not enough grunt or effort to pressure or win the ball back and effect the play positively. If he's to lock down a starting 22 regularly he needs to provide more. Although that didn't seem to hamper him getting selected this year. Weirdness
Thanks for posting this. Does make for interesting reading from 2016 to 2017. Essentially Spur, Mayne and Sheridan were replaced with Hill, Hamling and Blakely. We are definitely moving forward as a list.
I did an excel file with the ACFLA votes for Freo by round but couldn't upload it. I couldn't find a totals per team so did my own.

Just posted what I did with AFLCA votes, added to the end of this thread.
Kim Hagdorn won't let the fact that Brad Hill won the the Doig Medal go. He has now gone back through his own "Best Players" votes throughout the season, plus the Brownlow and Coaches votes and still can't work out how Brad Hill could have possibly won.
Nat Fyfe was by far Fremantle's best player with Lachie Neale the clear second best and David Mundy third according to all of his research and information.
So Kim now wants the club to review the way the medal is voted on which is as follows;
"The voting system as of the 2017 AFL season, consists of five coaches giving each player a ranking from zero to five after each match. Players can therefore only receive a maximum of 25 votes for a game."
However I can only think of two other occasions when I personally believe that the medal wasn't given to what we all thought was the club's fairest and best player in a season.
And that was Ryan Crowley in 2012 and Aaron Sandilands in 2015.

And this is why he is nothing but a walking joke. Fyfe was not "by far" our best with Neale / Mundy clear cut Top 3.
Even if he was, it's based on the players own ability, not comparing him to the other players. Fyfe was a fair bit down on his own top form, so he's not going to get top marks every week because then there's no where to go when he smashes it next year

I forgot that all AFL club's best and fairest awards were dictated by 3rd rate hack journalists perceptions.

Yeah Mundy had a pretty ordinary second half of the year for the most part.
That he still finished so high is a testament to how great his first couple of months were.

Because he gets to hang more poop on Freo - it's his favourite pass time.
