Brisbane Lions Club Champion Dinner

[Judge]

I'm obviously a bad Judge

I thought it would probably be between Rich and Redden, but it was wide open this year as no one was consistently great over the entire season.

Well done Joel!

 

[Hollow Knight]

Costly suspension for Rich. Well deserved win to JPat regardless.

Good night overall at the Gabba.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Big congrats to Joel...his parents must be so proud!....you doing that dance yet kezz??

Just bumped into Kezz. She is very much in control of her emotions considering!

 

[Brisroy Fitzbane]

Congrats to patfullfankezz

(am i doing it right?)

 

[PattyKwasagun]

Was Andrew Demetriou reading the votes?

He was at first, but they took him off after he gave Chris Judd 3 votes for our first game.

 

[blynd_freddie]

Interesting to note that Joels 34 votes in 2012 would have only got him a 4th in what was a poorer 2011 season - I think this voting system is a cracker for players being rewarded for doing the job asked of them - and NOT purely a statistical based system. Shows me our squad still has a mountain to climb going forward.

Well done Mr Patfull - a stupendous stopper season!!

I'm not sure if anyone has the resources to tell me, but does anyone know what:
- Rich got against the Dogs in Round 23
- Rockliff got against the Dogs in the Melbourne game
- Merrett got for his 7 goals against GWS
- The votes were in the West Coast game?

Pretty sure Rich got 4 votes against the Dogs.

Couple of things stand out:

Zorko polled in all bar 1 game where he wasn't the sub.
Coaches only gave out 5 votes total in the game against Richmond
Judging appeared to get tougher as the season went on...

 

[Caiphus]

Judged Lisle pretty harshly, not enough scoreboard impact I guess. Polkinghorne polling so low could mean that he is not considered a best 22 player going forward if someone can claim his spot.

 

[uzabuz]

Congrats to Patfull. Great season & clubman. Results reflect a great year teamwise from the boys. kuddos to Rich and Hanley as well.

Now just waiting on the obligatory Rockliff was robbed article by Hammo

 

[Hollow Knight]

Robert Walls's speech was fantastic. He clearly has a lot of love for the club and a lot of fond memories of his time with Fitzroy and the Bears.

 

[patfullfankezz]

I am chuffed.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but thanks port!

...and I've had to head back to the motel to get some sleep, long drive home tomorrow Plus the drive in was very taxing with the crash that stopped traffic and everything.

Cozi36 you'd better upload those pics soon!

I told him he'd win it, and even he didn't believe me (went and congratulated him on his Courageous award).

Well done Joel. I hope I can live up to the standard you have set.

Yeah - lowest points for a game [5 versus tiggers], with Round 1 @ 49 votes [vs dees] the highest!

Agree TBD, I have been lucky enough to attend several of his 'lions' functions and his memories shared about "Lions History" leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy... [well maybe with the combination of a couple of ales...] but I know what you mean.

 

[patfullfankezz]

I kinda feel bad. Joel thanked me for supporting him. I never thanked him for being my role model and my inspiration.

Then again, how do you thank someone for something like that without coming across as a moron?

 

[Rally]

Yeah, it looks like Vossy got a bit carried away with the votes in Round 1. Unless that was actually the best game he thinks we played all year? I certainly hope not.

As for Polkinghorne, he played 19 games last year. I think it was 22 last year, and both seasons he just hasn't polled votes. I don't understand why someone who is not 'playing their role' keeps getting consistent games, when others seem to be dropped for similar reasons. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of his, but I find it confusing the coaches don't rate his performances at all.

To be fair no-one knew how crap Melbourne was at the time. I got my hopes up after that game

 

[beez]

I'm surprised Redden didn't take out your B&F. He had a monster middle to late part of the year. Obviously he lost votes for his attire tonight, disappointing that your coaching panel would stoop to such a low act

 

[Grimreepah]

Now we can trade Patfull for Tippett...

 

[LION UP]

Now we can trade Patfull for Tippett...

O-oh.....now you've done it! Kezz will not by happy with you. Keep you eyes peeled for her in her new Veloster if she reads this before heading home tomorrow!

 

[Lions1024]

Our B&F obviously rewards consistency over the whole year and I'm happy with that.

In the end, Jacks slow start and the Rich suspension probably cost them both the B&F but that's no slight on Patfull, who really has had a very good year. I still reckon his 2009 season was better though.

 

[BlackCaviar]

clear message to the playing list !!!!!
do whats told of you and there are rewards
great job joel patfull

 

[Snuka]

Yeah - lowest points for a game [5 versus tiggers], with Round 1 @ 49 votes [vs dees] the highest!

Not surprising, thought our game against the tiges was the worst we played for the year.

Congrats to pats. Stoked with patful. Gutsy, underrated, always did his job and you'd have to say it was his performance in losing games as much as anything that shows he deserves it.
