Good win for Dunnstown today. They kept running all day and ended up being too good for Learmonth. AJ's stats wouldn't have looked too good, he hardly touched the pill and looked slow. Had a listen to him at 3/4 time and he spoke well but it wasn't to be their day. I think the Towners will struggle next weekend but at least they are still alive.

Went and had a look at today's game. I was surprised when Learmonth took to the ground...looked like many of the boys had been in a good paddock this season. They definitely didn't have the running game that they are renown for. You can get away with having a few fat dogs in your team but they certainly had a few too many. A good win for Dunnstown.

Tonight is the league vote count, would like to read people's thought's on who will take home the medal?
For me I reckon the top 4 will go something like this...
Winner: Danny Liston (Been in terrific form all year and is reknowned for polling well, would be a well deserved winner)
Runner-Up: Luke Adams ( Once again a great season from a outstanding player, a lot of good players in the one side will take the votes he needs for back to back medals)
3. Scott Winduss (Best ruckman going around, always gives his onballers first use, sure to get a lot of votes)
4. Andy McKay (Talented little man with a huge leap, who always catches the eye of the umpires, 50+ goals from a midfielder/forward, another great year)
Other players that will poll well but won't get enough votes to win it, Lee Cox, Glenn Handley, Hayden Cartledge, Leith Pellisier, Brenton Powell, Wade Veldhuis, Dave Florence, Lee Brown, Bryce Nichollson, Aaron Sawyers & Joe Gilbert.

As much as id like to see Luke Adams win it back to back (me being a dford man), i do think Liston will win it. He polled very well last year and only played half the season. I think he actually didnt lose by much.
There are players in the league that will get no votes that are very valuable. Their team mates know it but the umpires dont. Thats the way it goes tho.
So yeah, Liston for mine.

I agree totally. It's always the same names that get bandied around for these types of awards.
From my experience, it's common that players who win or poll very well in league B&F's are the flashy types, whereas those who win and poll well in club B&F's are the dour, team-orientated players who put the team ahead of any individual recognition.
Any team looking to win a flag must have a balance between these types of players.

Bdiddy, AJ packed it in weeks ago, he knew the list that he was spuiking about backin January was crap, it was such a good side where are they now. They had the softest draw of the top 8 clubs, so they will say they played finals. At least we will live to fight another day, Towners have got the game going though, will be tough. But reckon we get through and tackle D'ford next week. Waubra are too slick.
I agree that players who poll well in the league B&F's will not always do as well in their own clubs B&F but I wouldn't say that the likes of Adams and Liston are not team players. i would think that most experienced players would rather be a contributer to a succesful team

Luke Adams made it back to back last night with a runaway victory over Jamie Wilson of Newlyn.
I take it Wilson was a surprise packet considering no one mentioned him here yesterday... Pretty good effort in a side that didn't win a heap of games.
Jamie Grant in the 2's was no real surprise either

Does anyone have the top ten and how many votes they polled. No suprise with Adams or Grant winning, massive suprise with Wilson polling so many.

Where was the likes of gun backliners biggin and archibald , they would of have had to picture high among the votes

These two players dont need votes they thrive on the pressure of finals footy and both did their part against Hepburn. Good to see the Waubra reserves get up. So Waubra or Daylesford on the weekend? doesnt really matter i guess because they will see each other in the Grand Final again...

Was wondering why the CHFL doesn't do a Team of the Year? Would be interesting to see their side? A lot of leagues are now doing this, it also makes a boring vote count night a little bit more interesting.

What a difference Ben Coon makes to the Clunes unit, his return to the Pies has sparked a winning run home, a champion country player for sure. The Maggies will have a big job keeping him playing next year though, the Mrs may put the foot down, now he's 30 and all. Still a champion player.

Who is this imposter? Although, Coon is a handy player and will make a difference to Clunes with a big pre season under the belt.

Almost time to concede, how good are Waubra. That was unbelievable!! Dodds was a star.
Nicholson is probably going to miss another Grand final after kicking Redan into the granny last year. dont tell me he will have to go down to lexton plains. (with AJ)
Bit worried about towners, rckon we can hold em wil be tough speed is a worry.

Check out the headline in the courier for the waubra, daylesford game. You would think after reporting on most of the games for the season, you would get the headline right at least.... What a Loser!!

Who do Waubra have to come back in? Did they have any injuries on Saturday?
Haven't seen the Courier...what's the headline?
"Roos overpower Waubra"
