Surprised Vince 100 for the club isn't getting a mention

Surprised Vince 100 for the club isn't getting a mention

Think Vince ended up doing fairly well for himself.

You jumped the gun mate!

 

[Scythe94]

I’m going to miss Bernie

 

[booshboy]

Pj tearing up during his speech, and Bernie Vince is just a legend. Two massive figures of our resurgence. Will never forget what those two have done for our club.

Col Garland cannot sing.

Yep going to be missed both of em. Particularly Bernie, not sure what it is but I’m genuinely sorry he’s going.

Anyone know why Trac and Nev are on crutches?

I'm guessing ankle/knee cleanups. Half the players get em these days

 

[PerfectFooty]

Bit of a stuff up spoiling it

 

[schmuttt]

Jones 4th ?????

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

******* lol at Jones top 4

 

[PerfectFooty]

The coaches love him, Don't think he'll lose the captaincy any time soon

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Harmesy go son. I reckon this means Gus surely finished outside of the top 5 which is ******* hilarious given the Brownlow. And if not Gus it'll be Clarry.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Good late polling, Well deserved Harmesy

 

[Scythe94]

Harmesy go son. I reckon this means Gus surely finished outside of the top 5 which is ******* hilarious given the Brownlow. And if not Gus it'll be Clarry.

Best and Fairest is a much more accurate reflection IMO - Brownlow only acknowledges three players across two sides each week, whereas the B&F involves ranking each individual player each week. This means consistency across the season is rewarded, not just featuring in the umpires’ best three for a handful of games.

That being said, I agree that Brayshaw had a better season than Jones, but back the judgement of the coaches.

 

[schmuttt]

Oliver 2nd so Gawn wins, congrats Max.

 

[Topkent]

For everyone who rightfully gives me crap about Gus I couldn't he happier Harmes is top 3 given I was almost one out in think he could he a gun last year.

Gus should have finished about Jones though, so strange unless he was tagging opposition wingers out of the game I didn't notice.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Geez Max knows how to spin a yarn.

 

[Scythe94]

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

It's ridiculous how well Viney always does off limited games. Look at some of the blokes just above or even below him that would have played twice as many.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Geez chills at that conclusion from Gawn.

 

[Imet Hassa]

Max can make a decent speech, lovely mix of sincerity, humour, self deprecation and tongue in cheek aggrandisement with a touch of pathos. Well done!

 

[TheDarkDwarf]

Geez Max knows how to spin a yarn.

Tell me about it had two beers and two blue chasers listening to him.

 

[TheDarkDwarf]

Where were you PG, DeesFanTheMan was very upset that he couldn't have beer and a blue
with his favourite poster

 

[pjfairbairn]

Filipovic a bit stiff there....

On a serious note, I was surprised Jonesy was as high as he was, Brayshaw as low as he was, and that Lewis snuck into 10th ahead of the likes of Hogan, ANB, Hibberd and Petracca. Shows how highly he is rated internally. I was also thrilled for Harmesy to finish top 3!

Tyson finishing 23rd is a sad indictment…

If somebody has the time and energy, would love to see a Points Per Game breakdown but must confess I don't have the time to do it meself!
