General Bombers Talk 2021 Crichton Medal | Winner: Zach Merrett | Runner-Up: Darcy Parish | 3rd: Will Snelling

[Kyptastic]

Snelling probably makes top 2 if he didn’t miss 3 games.

 

[eth-dog]

Essendon will crown its 2021 Crichton medallist from 6:30pm AEST tonight via a virtual event.​

So I just saw a tweet saying it's tomorrow (Tuesday) night.

Zach to win from Parish, Laverde and Ridley, with Stringer sneaking into 5th. Will do a more detailed preview tomorrow if you guys want

Snelling for another Top-10 finish

Maybe.

 

[owen87]

Maybe.

I'm calling it

It'll be tight

This is the list of guys who 'played' 17 or more games (games as sub count towards the total):

• Darcy Parish 23
• Zach Merrett 23
• Jayden Laverde 23
• Nik Cox 22
• Jordan Ridley 22
• Nick Hind 22
• Mason Redman 22
• Archie Perkins 21
• Peter Wright 21
• Devon Smith 20
• Matt Guelfi 20
• Will Snelling 20
• Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti 20
• Dyson Heppell 19
• Jake Stringer 19
• Brayden Ham 19
• Cale Hooker 18
• Kyle Langford 17
• James Stewart 17

My guess is the bolded guys will make up the Top-10 so; Parish, Merrett, Laverde, Ridley, Hind, Redman, Snelling, Tippungwuti & Heppell.

Top-3 to be Merrett, Parish & Ridley clear of the group of Laverde, Hind, Redman, Heppell & Stringer (games played pushing Stringer & Heppell down a little) with Snelling and AMT rounding out the Top-10.

I'm not sure Parish will poll as well as a few think. I can see Laverde also sneaking ahead of him as well.

I'm not sure Parish will poll as well as a few think. I can see Laverde also sneaking ahead of him as well.

Our voting system is hard to predict, I think games-played is an important metric, and Parish would have been inside our top half dozen players in quite a few games. Maybe not enough to overhaul Merrett, but I think Merrett, Parish and Ridley will be Top-3.

Laverde is hard to pick, he played every game and would have largely done-so to coaches instructions so should poll well.

My guess...

Merrett
Parish
Ridley
Laverde
Hind
Stringer
Redman
Heppell
Tippa
Snelling
