He seems to be winning stacks at the moment. Just read that he won the West Australian, footballer of the year and this is the second car he is getting this week! Cuz, buddy ol pal!
Cuz is a champion no doubt and althoough I don't expect it I still hope he gets the Brownlow.
But the point that I will make is this. If say Chick had joined us and others had played well (eg Banfield had a blinder in the first derby) then Cuz could not have expected to do so well in voting. This has often been the pies problem with Buckley a stand alone performer. The other thing is that when you have a standout performer the ball tends to go to him too often and the opposition can plan for it.
Too many passes have gone to Cuz and kickouts to Gardy.
The good teams have multiple options. Look at Essendon. Look at Brisbane with 3 players all highly backed for the Brownlow.
That's where we need to aim. Cuz as a jewelled cog in the mechanism with a lot of bright cogs alongside.
Well so far he has won the West Australian Footballer of the Year. That got him a nice car. He also won that Basils Footy show award for best player of the year, where he won a trip for 2 on that huge cruise ship, not sure where the cruise ship goes though. And then he won Channel 7 footballer of the year, he was tied on 20 votes with Ackermanis and got 1 vote for his effort against Port in the last round. That won him another car worth about 40k.
So thats 2 cars and a trip to an exotic place on a cruise ship with a partner!! Football rules!! I wish i was as good as him.
And he still has another award in the bag (Club B&F) and is an outside chance for the big one. Go Cuz.
