MVP Charles Sutton Medal 2014 - Who do you think will win?

[LukasTheGreat]

Wood is lower than i would have expected, maybe they didn't rate his season as highly as we did.

 

[hatescaptcha]

Mitch Wallis finishes in 10th place again this year while only playing 13 games. He seems to poll pretty well, can see him winning a few throughout his career. Well done to Libba absolutely cleaned up! And Macrae an unbelievable effort for a second year player.

Hard to believe Wood polled fewer votes than Hunter despite playing more games.

How far has Cooney's game slipped? The one time Brownlow medallist can only finish eq 14th in the B&F of a club that finished 5th last. The only #1 pick we've ever had in the ND and we never got more than one season of his best football.

Yep its not a good look but he did play 18 games and 3 or 4 where as the sub so he realistically only played 15 max....

But like what you said we only got a snippet of his best.. That bloody knee...

Higgins in 16th and Minson in 17th position as really shows the drop off in our seasoned players this season and that they are not nearly contributing enough. How Roughead and Cooney finished in front of Easton Wood I will never know he deserved a top 10 spot this season. Higgins had a injury free season and a good preseason yet he finishes in 16th spot. Time to go Shaun!!

It's a little bit easier to swallow knowing he has struggled cause of injury, it's not like we just * up a number one pick like Watts or Scully.

Wood 19th
Higgins 16th
Minson 17th

These guys needed to stand up this year and are the primary reason (along with Grif's injury) that we underperformed this year.

I thought Wood was okay but then he was dropped and the above placing suggest he wasn't doing what the club wanted.

Higgins with no injury excuses, dropped as well, just not good enough - its clear the club won't miss his 'work' too much.

Minson, amazing drop off from last year's AA form. Surely he was carrying something??

 

[Ron The Bear]

Does anyone have the complete votes, past 25th?

Agreed. We also need a lot more from Stevens. 21st place for a 23 year old who played 20 games in a struggling team is a poor return.

The clubs twitter account has the full list.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Can anyone who was there last night please explain how the B&F voting works round by round?
Who casts the votes?
How many are given for each round?

Each member of the coaching staff gives out a 5-4-3-2-1 after each game. There are 5 people on the coaching staff.

 

[NBates]

Can someone give an overall of the night? Not just the votes. Was it a bit low key so early in the off season and on a Wed night? What did Peter Gordon say? I think B McCartney mentioned his speech, but I'm not sure it was on Bulldogs TV.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Hopefully all the speeches will be posted on Bulldogs TV, they were last year.

 

[Igloo]

Hopefully all the speeches will be posted on Bulldogs TV, they were last year.

I'm pretty sure I saw the club answer someone on Twitter saying they will be put up.

 

[The Old Boiler]

Each member of the coaching staff gives out a 5-4-3-2-1 after each game. There are 5 people on the coaching staff.

All of the above, but also they gave 0 votes as well. There were quite a few games where players got 0. In one game only 8 players polled at all.

 

[The Old Boiler]

Just another query on voting at B & F. If there is 75 votes per game ( 5,4,3,2,1. By 5 people ), over 22 matches that equals 1650 votes but if you add up the votes there are 2228.

Pretty sure that each coach gives a number between 0-5 to each player, so Macrae could get 5 votes, and Griffen could get 5 votes, from the same person.

 

[dogwatch]

I'm claiming victory in this comp. I got 100% of my selections right.

"Our finish still lingers pretty fresh, I reckon, for most of us, from the weekend. It was a game that could have been won... should have been won. But we'd still be... where we're at. But it can't overshadow the progress that we've made this year, in my opinion."

Took the words out of my mouth, Mac.

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Also, I've heard a few figures speak of Libba, Dahl and Roughie leading the charge for the other boys.

Can anyone who attended elaborate on this, did anyone say anything about it? timtamWB, candymanwb, Ant_, Mike__, Dogs_r_barking?

The way the voting system works for the count is that a player can get as many as 25 votes per game. So to me that says for example, 5 people vote and the votes are cumulative for the result

 

[Nightowl]

Libba our next captain? He's certainly someone you'd follow into battle.

Would struggle with the media commitments that entail.
