Gary Ayres Medal

[Tbonefreo]

Brad Ottens thread.

Where does he drink at?

 

[Tulip]

Don't mind the idea, but don't see why Ayres is being honored in particular. Achieved an amazing amount, but is hardly a revered figure in football.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

You've got your Brownlow's, your Norm Smith's, your Coleman's and now you've got your Ayres's.

If it's for the player of the finals and not the player of the grand final, who in living memory has had an enormous finals series? Bartlett? Ablett?

Stephen Silvagni in 1995.

 

[Cuzdup]

More fuel for the Victorial circle jerking crew. Im all for a finals MVP why name it after someone other then the reason that Victorians love giving each other wristies

 

[GreyCrow]

Why not the Kevin Bartlett Medal. Kicked 29 in one Finals series

 

[GreyCrow]

Caleb Daniels the front runner

 

[GreyCrow]

Should be called the Shaun Burgoyne Medal. Just pure class in Finals. A big game performer and in Finals.

I'm fed up with Hawthorn being awesome, but would love to see Shaun Burgoyne be inaugural winner of the Shaun Burgoyne Trophy.

Would happily have it named after Andrew McCleod. Maybe not the five premierships of Gary Ayres but equal with him on two Norm Smith Medals. And somehow just more iconic than Ayres.

How did Dangerfield get a vote.

 

[Pedantic]

I'm hoping that someone plays three best on ground performances in a side that win the flag but loses this award to a player who happened to play four games and was second best or so in them.

 

[STP18]

How did Dangerfield get a vote.

A 'poor' Dangerfield game is still a bloody good game. 35 disposals, 19 contested, 7 clearances, 71% efficiency.

Stats, you can wipe your arse with his stats, he was only just above shit. His name got him that vote!

Watch the game again. He was good. Our best midfielder behind Selwood and Guthrie. I'm not sure Clarko and Scott would be swayed by his 'name'.

Any player at Hawthorn in the 80s was a success via the zoning rules.

Should go to the player whose haircut best defines the fashion of the day.

Should go to the ex-player whose haircut best defies the fashion of the day.

Given Ayres' finals record as a player it's aptly named (bit of a shame some fellow Cats supporters getting their knickers in a knot about though especially on their respective facebook groups. They could show a tad more humility and respect). That said definitely a good award to give to the best mullet.

[06Premiers]

Are they going to award it based on votes per game or total votes?
Seems unfair that a player from GWS/Geelong only gets 3 chances for votes.

TOP 10 VOTES PER GAME
10 Jeremy Cameron (GWS)
8 Joel Selwood (GEEL)
7 Stephen Coniglio (GWS)

[Jcpdragonx]

Heeney should be in front when the votes come out (tomorrow I presume). Dahl should be closes, been a big game player for a while now. Rate him higher than the Bont in these games.

 

[1990crow]

Kennedy to be in front is my guess.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Like the medal idea but the rules need a rethink. If either one of Geelong or GWS had got up, then their players would have been at a disadvantage for the medal having played less games than us and Sydney. It should be based on the player's best 3 results over the series.

But then, if you play 4 pearlers you've done better than the guy who played 3 pearlers...
