It’s the old story with the B&F. Players are voted on how well they perform roles which are not transparent to the public.

As it should be. It’s not the brownlow. All players should be able to win.
Unlike most, I’m not at all surprised to see Dahl poll well, he played his role well all year. Both him and Atkins have slotted in to a position that has been a big hole for us.

Undervalued season. Actually played his role very well. Good first season.

not undervalued by the coaches and MC; exactly what he was recruited for, but still has many underwhelming moments once he has the ball near the boot.
Missed in his debut season, 2007.
9th is his lowest finish since then - 1st x 3, 2nd x 2, 3rd x 1, 4th x 2, 5th x 2, eq 6th x 1, 9th x 1.

High half forward who didn’t go into the midfield much or hit the scoreboard. Top 6 based off tackling.
10-15 is his place in the pecking order.
Is there a full finish list available?

I am so glad my boy Miers held on to a top 10 finish as well as getting the young player award well deserved.
How th f*** did blicavs get so close to winning this medal again. The coaches have no idea.

And in which game did Blicavs not do what the coaches asked of him??
Who gives a sh** about what the coaches tell him. The award is supposed to be about how well he plays.

He was one of six Geelong players in the All Australian squad and they finished 1-5 and 7 in the Carji. Seems widely accepted he had a strong season.

My god so bitter you do know the coaches are the ones who vote on the Carji right hence them saying Blicavs did his job means he played well
And yet he played out of the position he played in all year in 3 finals. If he was that good in that position why wasnt he kept there for the seasons biggest games?

Well done Danger, even though it seems the majority of your team mates are clueless.... For 2 years running...

So you don't need to be even very good at football, you just have to do what the coaches tell you to do?
I guess 2 b&f's answers that question.

Which would have been a crime.
You would be happy that he sat level pegging with Joel Selwood, Paul Couch, Ian Nankervis, David Clarke Snr and George Todd and only 1 behind the all time leading b&f winners in Garry Hocking and Dick Grigg? I wouldn't have been and it makes a mockery of the award and the voting system if that had've been the case.

Who says his teammates are clueless - the MVP nominations are done before the end of the season. Look at tally as of round 21: Hawkins (1st), Blicavs (2nd), Duncan & Kellly (equal 3rd), and 3 of those guys were our nominations - so maybe the players had a better idea who had been having the better season to that stage. Danger came home strong over the last couple of rounds & then obviously during finals, which is when he took the lead
And it also seems the players voted for a player from each section of the ground - 1 x midfielder, 1 x forward & 1 x defender, and considering how many had Kelly has favourite for last night, still not sure how you can say his teammates are clueless

Yes snubbed by teammates as a MVP nominee. I think he rubs some of them the wrong way. FIGJAM I think. That’s why I think we won’t win a flag while paddy is there unfortunately . Of course I hope I’m wrong and he becomes like Martin and wins a cup!

No system which is based on a one-off nomination at or near the end of the season can ever possibly have the same value as an award based on week-by-week votes.
