Roughead was one of the best on ground?

10 solid Marks

10 solid Marks

I'll assume that Clarko gave him the votes, and it must mean he's playing very well to instructions. I thought he was good, but must admit I was surprised he got votes ahead of, for example, Cyril.

I suggest you watch the YOUTUBE highlights on this Forum. See if that changes your mind.

you do realise that a coach cannot have a say on the voting to his own players right? it is the same as the AFLPA award, in which no player can vote for their own team-mate

 

[Roughies Boys]

Hodgey maybe Brownlow aswell???

 

[Mitchell Madness]

nah, not enough 1-2s with noone around

 

[sydney_hawka]

You're on to something here MM.

Could you imagine the NAYSAYERS if Hodgey had 40 odd possies with twenty nothing possessions??

Lets be thankful that he makes every one count.

Um, pretty sure both coaches can vote for whoever they want. So they both gave Hodge 5. Otherwise Eade would have had to give him 10, which means Clarko would have given a dog player 10.

Am I missing a point or something?

 

[Gralin]

Coaches can give a maximum of 5 votes to any one player
And a total of 30 votes all up
They do not have to give a 5 4 3 2 1 if they do not believe that is what the players deserve

 

[Flukey!]

Am I missing a point or something?

No, you nailed it.

Nope - like I said, I thought he was good (see also my comments on the Roughy kicking thread), but I wouldn't have him in the votes. Looking at the BF B&F voting, it seems most posters would agree with that.

Nope, MM has the wrong end of the stick.
Each coach votes for the best players on the ground, be they from their own team or not.

The way I see it from the votes I think Clarkson voted:
5 Luke Hodge (Haw)
4 Brian Lake (WB)
3 Sam Mitchell (Haw)
2 Jarryd Roughead (Haw)
1 Matthew Boyd (WB)

... and Rocket voted
5 Luke Hodge (Haw)
4 Brian Lake (WB)
3 Sam Mitchell (Haw)
2 Matthew Boyd (WB)
1 Liam Picken (WB)

It could be the other way around, and I had thought so originally except for the Roughhead votes. Must be a playing to instruction thing. Don't get me wrong, love Roughie, but not sure Rocket would've given him 2 votes.

Also: Hodge has to get a Brownlow. Straightens up the bloody Brownlow medal a bit if he gets it. No one will argue with it. Champion!

Broiwnlow odds of $51 at the start of the year I got him at $41 he'll go very close & would be leading ATM IMO nice little 50 on him will see me collect over $2000


And got the Hawks at $81 for the Flag @ $150 for a return of over $12000

Know a few boys who took the $8.50 for the final eight aswell great Punting Go Hodgey.....

Good luck Noose. You're definitely in with a fighting chance, and a bloody good one at that.

 

[Hodgepodge]

I'm surprised Cyril didn't get a vote. Thought he was in the Top 5 at least.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Geez would have given Lake a 9. He had 18 marks and 28 disposals from CHB and kept Franko to 3 goals. I thought he saved them from being beaten by 10 goals.

 

[Roby]

I would of given McBurney the 5 votes, but I guess that's just me.

 

[Hodgepodge]

A lot of Lake's disposals were just kicking it around the back half, switching the play, etc. I would've given him 2 CA votes.

Took both of these Noose, before the Tiggers game. Didn't put quite as much on as you, but I'll be happy to join the collecting queue!!

Wanted to back Hodgey for the Brownlow, but I seem to put a curse on Brownlow's so I backed Cats and Saints instead

I went to put $50 on him at $51 before the season started but had a few drinks on the night and somehow managed to make a mistake. Was convinced for weeks that I had until I had a look at my account in May that I didn't!
What a letdown. If he wins it will be sweet and bitter at the same time!
