Boyd a very noticeable absentee from this list. Not in the Ching top 10 either. Of course he only played 13 games which wouldn't have helped his chances.

On that topic... the Sutton Medal seems slightly tilted in favour of those who played lots of games - see games played in red above. I guess that makes sense if they are giving out votes to lots of players each game (not just 3-2-1). If you're any good as a footy player, the more games you play the more votes you will get, even if you were not in the best 5 or 6 on the day.

Anyway, it usually comes up with a very worthy winner and no-one could argue with Griffen as club B&F.

Thanks for the reports from the event guys.

Interestingly Dahlhaus came 4th last year from 17 games and 6th this year from 22 games.

Fantastic to see Dale Morris in the top 5, Great effort from Bob to get 4th from 19 games too.

Cross: "I absolutely respect the decision that was made and the direction the Club is going…this place will always be my home."

well that's done it....... again

Crossy is all class.

Explain

Our Sports Scientist winning best clubman. No explanation needed.

 

[Nightowl]

Tom said thanks Tony, Libba Snr leaned back on the mike and said that's Dad to you

How cool. Libba Snr is my favourite dogs player of all time.

 

[dogwatch]

Sounds like a great night.
Did they present grassman75 his Pieman award? I didn't see him and his WAG on the red carpet.

Reports are he was banned from attending due to a mad pie monday incident.......it seems his username has meaning and substances may have been used and he is now under investigation with the real possibility of being stripped of his pie

He was in the Social Club after the game on Sunday too. With his mum (Tom's gran/nonna) by the look of it & a few friends & family. Good to see him there with the supporters.

The only person I'm disappointed in not being in the top 10 is Picken - I would rate him above Wallis - don't get me wrong, I like Wallis I just think Picken is really underrated as far as the hard yakka he puts in.

Tony sponsors JJ so is in the sponsors room every gameday as well.

 

[dogsofwar]

Good mix of youth and senior experience in that top ten... but again, that 23 - 26 age bracket is damning...

My mum said she saw Libba SNR's mum at a match once. When Tony got the ball - his mama yelled out " That's My Boy Tony" in a thick accent. She was obviously so proud!

I hope they post videos of the speeches, would love to hear Boydie on Cross.

Also I noticed there is another little Murphy on the way .

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

OMG just read Boydie's speech, I'm tearing up for some reason . Would love Crossy to go on to fitness coaching once he retires, and come back to the Kennel.

This must be the most keenly felt departure from the club since Granty retired.

Thanks for that.

It seemed Cross & Boyd were the next Smith & Johnno. Sad, but proud he will always be a Bulldog even if he goes elsewhere for a couple of years. Good luck to him.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

All the speeches are now on the WB website.

 

[Super Hans]

Boyd's speech, very good.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Anybody got the complete votes?

Surprised Cooney finished behind Dahlhaus.

It must have been an honour to be rubbing shoulders and having a drink with a future triple Sutton medallist, four time premiership player, Brownlow medallist and dual Norm Smith medallist.
