MVP AFLCA Voting Watch

[JADED]

Interesting that 2 opposing coaches could have such different perspectives.

Wonder which was which...

Can only be explained as certain players playing their role or reaching the expectations set out by the coaching group.
Ie, Masten could be getting close to votes each week by sticking tackles as that makes a hell of a difference to his game.

Excellent effort for Yeo to be where he is. No signs of slowing down so he could build quite a lead at the top.

 

[Godfather32]

Not a single vote for Priddis all year. That surprised me.

And yet AFL.com has him in our best performers every match for the first 7 rounds

That may appear to be the case if you're a lazy overpaid journalist who looks at stat sheets to decide who was best. Same deal for Gaff.

 

[RookiePick]

Doubt Simmo gave him 5. Doesnt want Elliot getting a swollen head I expect.

Buttman had a nice little jab for Yeo during BT walkaround iirc

 

[Keys]

Without wanting to get a priddis debate started here I think his lack of votes is partially a reflection of his form but also a shift in strategy to reduce our reliance on him. He's more a role type player rather than our main midfielder and that can only be a good thing

 

[Keys]

My guess is Simmo would be aware of how sore Gaff is and respects how hard he's pushing himself to provide an option. Beveridge more likely to be frustrated at how often Yeo broke down their attacks than give BOG to a player who trades in uncontested possessions

The strange arse votes would be Beveridge I would wager, weird unit.

I think it was Wanganeen.

Have a look through our own votes thread for the Bulldogs game - it's quite a mix and that's just picking our own players without factoring in any Bulldogs players

 

[Dark Sharks]

Wanganeen yo

 

[fidstar]

I just counted up Wanganeen votes and he's now leading the AFLCA award.

Stunning come from behind.

 

[avishka5]

Apparently wanganeen won the Brownlow.

Mmmm so where will we rest him?

 

[TassieEagle]

Priddis out, Wanganeen in?

 

[lewigie]

If Yeo could stop making those few stupid decisions/disposal errors a game he'd be a shoe-in for the Brownlow.

I think he cost us two goals in that last quarter from turn overs from the half back line?

 

[Jootube]

Holy Jesus, I just went through every games match report on the AFL website to test your theory.
Priddis listed in every game as a BOG until last weekend.

Nope

First goal resulted from Vardy spilling a mark near half forward that the Bulldogs cleared, switched across half back where Daniel cleaned up from a marking / ground ball contest involving Yeo and Lecras. Daniel opened us up with a nice pass and Wood ran into goal

Their second goal of the last quarter started from a clearance from a boundary line throw in after gaff fumbled the ball on the wing and was then pressured into a dribble kick that could easily have been called as deliberate

They only kicked two goals for the quarter

Yep I was only joking at first but then I went through them as well. Just shows you how much stat watching goes on

Interesting how different media sources rate our players. Good to see shuey on board, but WTF is wrong with age with gaff and so surprised no one rated Yeo for most other media outlets.

Ah I see, I do remember him turning the ball over and then a bulldogs player kicked it straight back to him, but then I swear I remember that he turned the ball over and they were in a really good position to score.. but must not have

Some of the desperate plays that he and Gov made in that last quarter in order to stop them going forward were ridiculous.

Interesting that Clayton Oliver is so high in the Crown Market. Thought the reason Yeo isn't there is because of the first breakout season

 

[Forward Press]

The Age one is rubbish. Clear stat analysis without bothering to watch games. No Eagles in the top 20 except Gaff. Oliver on top (which obviously is completely unprecedented).

I would disregard it for the rest of the season.

Not like they have anyone left working there, probably a complete robo stat job.

 

[Keys]

Unsurprisingly no votes for any Eagles players this weekend so no change to the club leaderboard

Eliot Yeo has also lost first place on the overall lead as Rory Sloane received 4 votes for his game to reclaim the lead
