Goal kicking: Cam Zurhaar*

*Cam could be the lowest recorded goal kicking winner since 1884 (H. Todd - 13)

 

[Swallow_Wood]

3 games to go and it's worth having a chat about this now.

I reckon Goldy & Luke are neck & neck now, with Jed & Tazz a few votes back from them.

Pick your top 5 places now, and we'll see how it plays out.

Personally, I can't separate Goldy (who is tiring now) and Luke (who is finishing hard). It's a tie for me.

1. Todd Goldstein
1. Luke McDonald
2. Jed Anderson (warrior)
3. Robbie Tarrant (ever reliable)
4. Jy Simpkin (started fast, but dropped off)
5. Trent Dumont (carried a heavy load against heavy odds)

Best debut player: Jack Mahony
Most courageous: Jed Anderson

Same 6 with two changes. I'd swap Dumont and Simpkin, and Goldy is clearly ahead of LMac, so:

1. Todd Goldstein
2. Luke McDonald
3. Jed Anderson
4. Robbie Tarrant
5. Trent Dumont
6. Jy Simpkin

 

[Kanga Glory]

Pickings are very slim past these 5 (maybe Anderson)

1. Todd Goldstein
2. Robbie Tarrant
3. Luke Mcdonald
4. Trent Dumont
5. Jy Simpkin
6. Shuan Higgins

[DaveyBoy123]

Personally, I think LMac's stats are a bit deceiving because (for some reason) opposition teams tend to kick poorly at goal against us. The new rules count kick-outs as stats when prancing out of the goal square. Having said that, he's still had an improved season.

I'll be the 1st to go out on a limb and say that the winner will be:

1: Tarrant
2: Goldstein
3: Simpkin
4: McDonald
5: Anderson

Tricky for 5th as Jed has missed 2 games & Walker knocked himself out round-1. Dumont's consistency may even sneak him in. Atley has also had some strong games in the past 6 or so weeks.

 

[Gasometer]

Should be a ripper night nevertheless

Who can ever forget the 2017 night when our keynote speakers wrapped the year up as “successful”

 

[dollarscost]

1. Goldstein
2. McDonald
3. Anderson
4. Simpkin
5. Tarrant

The top 10 will be rounded out by J. Walker, Dumont, Higgins, Atley and someone else in some order. I think it'll be incredibly close between the top 3 and wouldn't be at all surprised to see Lukey Mac win it - he's definitely a deserving recipient if so.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

If McDonald wins, I don’t know what I’ll Do!

The key players obvious and well chosen.

Higgins year a huge disappointment when had a chance to step up imo.

1. Luke McDonald (finishing faster than Goldie)
2. Todd Goldstein (you'd likely get a payout if you had him and Luke in the quinella)
3. Robbie Tarrant (total rock down back)
4. Jy Simpkin (was probably leading for a while but faded)
5. Jed Anderson (put together an excellent mid to late season stretch)
6. Trent Dumont (can't understand the hate from some corners....actually I can, it's the internet)
7. Shaun Higgins (played out of position but still very good)

Goal Kicking - Larkey & Zurhar tie on 15.

Football has never been better, hey mate?

It's pretty sad that at half time against GC I was thinking "that's 4 goals and I'm not sure this team has got 6 in them for the match"

Maybe I've set it too high at 15?
