We need official Bay confirmation but we already know who will become a 2 time winner

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Dangerfield. Made a bigger impact on Jezzas arm than he did on the field.

On a slightly different note, how is Gary Rohan only a 1 time winner?

Sydney always seemed to provide plenty of players to give him competition

(Dis)honourable mention to Jack Martin coming on and getting one kick.

You can't really add players you expect nothing from otherwise Rhys Stanley would also be one of the options

The bloke who was too pea hearted for St Kilda?

 

[juice t]

Dangerfield. Made a bigger impact on Jezzas arm than he did on the field.

Spent more time in the toilet thinking about his post-game speech

 

[Plugger35]

Can't go past Danger, he had a toilet break, went back out and busted the other Geelong matchwinner's arm and did SFA else.

 

[Rich the babe Evans]

Surely Squib Stengle gets in the poll over a few others

's goal

 

[Geoff]

Danger’s heading for a Fyfe, needs to bale out while the goings good. But he won’t he’ll be spudding it up and stop a developing kid because that’s what Geelong do.

 

[kazzooka]

On a slightly different note, how is Gary Rohan only a 1 time winner?

Shoking really when I think we should be at minimum renaming the award to the Davis-Rohan medal.

But Danger has just picked up his 2nd, so probably has rights to get his name on it, especially due to his high profile. And the fact that he has cost his team pre-lims as well.

And some flogs last week were saying he's better than Dusty. 3 Grand Finals for 3x Norm SMiths vs 3 grand finals for 2x Leon David medals..

 

[kazzooka]

Can't go past Danger, he had a toilet break, went back out and busted the other Geelong matchwinner's arm and did SFA else.

Did his toilet break last week too. It's so he get get his super juice shot, but didn't work this week. Pretended to hurt his leg in 2017 too so he could go to the rooms for some juice.
