[The Filth Wizard]

Brown and Mountford announced extensions would certainly put a bright light on the end of this week.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Congratulations to Ben Brown.

Congratulations to Ben Brown.

Reckon Lmac is a shake as is Cunnington.

Reckon Lmac is a shake as is Cunnington.

Plus Higgo.

I expect it will be one of BBB or Cunners though myself.

[DarkPhoenix]

Feels weird not being last cab off the rank for club MVP award for once.

 

[Nate1993]

Hahah does anyone remember how well the stream went last time

 

[Gasometer]

5 games worth reminiscing.

I must be watching another team is B Cunnington gets the nod. I would hope Robbie Tarrant would be up there again along with Ben Brown but then a blanket can be thrown over the others.
As much as this is a good night I wont go again until they change the venue, have been twice and think the venue is below average and have told the club as much. Take me back to the Palladium and I would be there with bells on

I had zero issues with the stream.

 

[Higgo2Froggy]

Reckon Marley will be leading or at least close to leading come the midpoint of the season
Brown, Cunnington, Higgins, McDonald and Tarrant the top 5

 

[Twinkletoes]

Going by that footage from the selection room don't be surprised if Taz and Scooter feature heavily also.

Pretty close IMO. JZ would have been flying early and strong until mid point and injuries caught up.

As usual, Gibson will be the tricky one to place.

 

[shintemaster]

As usual, Gibson will be the tricky one to place.

As usual, he's consistent but I'll be honest, I didn't rate his year anywhere near the last couple - can't quite place whether he just looks worse in a s**t team because of his role or he actually was slightly down on output. He's not an overly dangerous player but I felt he was less damaging. A quick scan of stats backs up the scoreboard damage - less than half his output from the previous two year average and his disposals and marks noticeably down on last year.

I'm not a "stats" man as such and wouldn't consider myself a deep analyser of players, we might have intentionally stunted his role to get more out of others. Getting games out of Garner might have kept him further up the ground. Dunno, but in simple terms I rate it the lesser of his last 3 years.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Higgo to win it

 

[naturally north]

Brown finished tenth in 2016.

I reckon he's shown enough improvement to win this.

2 Higgins

3 Cunners

Tipping a draw Between Browny and Cunners with Higgins less than 8 votes behind.

Tipping a draw Between Browny and Cunners with Higgins less than 8 votes behind.

That sounds familiar.

 

[brettman135]

Keen to see how Marley goes for votes in the first half of the year.
