Redden was probably our most consistent mid in 2021, playing the first 15 games and only dropping below 20 possessions in Round 16 vs the Swans where he got injured. He returned in Round 20 but missed Round 23 due to illness. Redden put up some very strong numbers in season 2021, including Round 3 vs Port Adelaide (31 disposals and 5 marks), Round 5 vs Collingwood (a career best 37 disposals, 10 marks and 4 tackles), Round 8 vs Hawthorn (31 disposals and 3 marks) and Round 21 vs Melbourne (30 disposals, 8 marks and a goal). The premiership midfielder is out of contract for 2022 but allegedly has a 1 year deal in front of him that hopefully he accepts as we need his grunt around the ball.

Redden is underrated here, especially this year relative to the rubbish his teammates shat out.

 

[ArdentEagle]

So Sheed gets more votes than Redden. Bloody hell!!

(Hopefully I didn't do that)

You gave Sheed 6 more votes than you did Redden

[ioppolo]

For a group that supposedly hates Sheed so much, you all sure do rate him highly.

Pretty hard to argue with this.

 

[Quinz]

For a group that supposedly hates Sheed so much, you all sure do rate him highly.

Sheed is one of those players that in a win plays well and looks pretty good but you notice his deficiencies a lot more in a loss.

 

[SloppyJoe]

I was right off Sheed all year. I would've given him votes on the odd occasion though. Definitely in the games where he kicked multiple goals.

But if he wasn't kicking goals he was racking up clangers, putting team mates under pressure with poor passes or running around in a circle and then getting caught HTB. I know he is our only mid who routinely gets the pill 25+ times a game, which is probably why he played so much this year, but normally a bloke with his disposal problems makes up for it with pressure and tackling. He does not.

Of course, now I've said all that, I'll wait for the inevitable biggest crush: SloppyJoe

 

[WCErevival]

He did a lot of heavy lifting in the first half of the year. Will do ok in the votes.

Actually in one of the rare occasions that this type of post doesn't blow up in the voter's face, for a prominent voter you gave Sheed very few votes

 

[Bender_]

Sheed looked like the goal kicking mid we've been looking for (GKMWBLF) in the first half of the year. When times get tough his lack of defensive game was exposed though.

 

[Bender_]

Also if you told anyone in the recruitment thread that Gaff finished top 10 in this award they'd delete their account.

Makes him this board's anti-Petch

 

[bUCKET__]

This is pretty much me with Gov this year, ugh. Should probably delete account if I'm crushing on Sheed too.

 

[Ochre]

Also if you told anyone in the recruitment thread that Gaff finished top 10 in this award they'd delete their account.

Don't get my hopes up

 

[Dark Sharks]

I think after such a trainwreck of a season, people give votes for effort more than anything. Players who looked like they actually gave a *.


That's why Yeo will always poll well.

We won all those stand out games he played. Good wins too. I wonder why. Any ideas?

Well I think the main factor is that they are s**t teams or Port in peak flat tracker mode.

Seriously though, will be interesting to see if he played much more outside in those games.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Would be surprised if I gave very many votes to Gaff & Redden.

Barrass started the season in absolute ripping form and polled in almost every game that he played and was in fact leading the leaderboard at one point early-mid season. Injury kept him out of the side in Rounds 7-8 and 18-21 and he didn't poll any votes after he returned in Round 22 vs the Dockers but it was certainly an encouraging season from the premiership defender. Statistically his best games came against Gold Coast in Round 1 (22 disposals and 13 marks) and the Bulldogs in Round 15 (22 disposals and 7 marks).

Season averages:
Disposals: 13.8
Marks: 7.3
Tackles: 0.6

Standout stats:
Ranked 6th in the AFL for One Percenters per game (8.31)
Ranked 14th in the AFL for Marks per game (7.3)
