It`s not like he is voting in a presidential election mate dont take life so seriously the kid wanted Harro to get some recognition and thats fair enough.

I have noticed you picking at him over two posts keep your rude comments to your self.

As for his grammar skills your hardly John Grisham "Helmie"
There's a big difference between a big footy post and attempted effort at a disgruntled letter to an organisation

Wow, you guys sound like idiots, fighting over something so trivial.

Just a few things:

TDF: It's fair to vote, and display your undeniable passion for the team, but SEN has set up the poll, to gauge the public consensus on the best players for the year. Sure, we all would like to see as many Kangaroo players in this team, but maybe multiple voting isn't the best possible solution.

B-Rock: You're 19, so that still makes you a teenager.

And TDF, next time I would be honoured, should you wish to send any letters to any board/company/organisation, to edit the letter. Unfortunately, a colloquially written email with incorrect spelling makes you loose all credibility.

Yet, good work for standing up for the roos.

Pretty sure you need to get over the whole Eddie thing mate... If his still around next year we can have the same conversation... Until then good luck to him and the North Melbourne FC...

FWIW i dont want him in the team... We'll leave it at that
I just thought this was the funniest thread I've read in a long time, and I might just add to it...with out name calling!

as far as Eddie goes....I'm smelling another Rodan in the making. He will play in a Premership for Port if we're not careful.

Who cares?

You are forgetting that the station/program in question features the tone of Billy Brownless. With all of his playful humour and stuff.

Honestly though, if you let this stuff bother you then I'd suggest loosening up.

Question ones highly motivated antics on a rather insignificant poll in which he cheated in -still lost - young boy and his mother then fire up and im the agressor that needs to loosen up...

Interesting...

You reckon Port Melbourne will be close to a flag next year?

Alright boys, enough of the "my dad could kick your dads arse" macho stuff. We're all here for the same reasons, so lets get this train-wreck of a thread back on topic, hey? :)

Is Harris deserving of a spot in an AA team? Personally I don't think so. In fact, i'd probably rate Swallow over Harris this year.

But now that we're passed that, we can concentrate on voting for CJ, who DOES deserve it. Vote away (once) guys :)

UPDATE: Corey Jones and Didak won the two HFF positions.

Andy Maher had to make comment that it looks like there is a bit of a Kangaroos internet campaign going on. Then quickly corrected himself to say that Corey Jones had had a great year.

As for all the discussion on here last night, I think that SEN would surely realise that this is largely a popularity contest, otherwise they'd pick the AA side themselves. I'll give them the fact that Bartel has had a better season than Harris, and perhaps we should put more efforts into voting in the guys who truly are in contention for a position like Hamish for ruck and Boomer for rover.

Agree with almost all of this. However, if I see a public poll and there's a NM player on it, and it's a positive to vote for him, e.g not a poll about who's the worst player, then I'll vote for our guy every time.

I probably would too. And I hate seeing our club treated as second class citizens, which we pretty much always are. I guess I'm just trying to say let's move on and let's pump up H and Boomer next week.

so what was the final count for the hf flankers? I know Corey got in but Didak seemed to be catching up to him towards the end.
I didn't see the final tally, but they said it was close. There are two HFF though, so I would have thought Corey would have been pretty safe from 3rd place.
