Surely Crisp on track for a top 5 finish in the Copeland. Absolutely robbed of AA selection but at least we know we back him to the hilt.
He’d do that on his ear you’d think this season.
Good call.

What’s your top 5 in order if you had to go for it?
Remembering in the Copeland, games played is an advantage as lots of votes are given if deserved.

I’d go for:

1. Grundy (certainty I’d venture)
2. Pendlebury
3. Crisp
4. Treloar (I think the top 4 pick themselves)
5. Roughead

Sidesack be thereabouts but a few quieter games earlier on.

Best first year player: John Noble if eligible.

Most Courageous: Brody Mihocek

Best Clubman: Lynden Dunn

Most Improved: Callum Brown

I rate players out of 10 every match. This means however anyone missing a game really gets behind in the voting. Regardless my top 5 are
1. Grundy
2. Treloar
3. Crisp
4. Pendlebury
5. Sidebottom

In order Phillips, Maynard, Roughead, Mihocek, Howe round out the top 10.

Copeland will probably see a similar top 4 but they'll rate defensive and other efforts more highly so I could see Maynard, Roughead, Mihocek and Howe placing higher. Of course my system really penalises missing matches so De Goey and Moore might make top 10 too.

I'd back that order in. Not sure about best clubman because I'm not entirely sure what the criteria is.

It's more of a behind the scenes award, hard to predict. It's people who put in time and effort to being a good teammate particularly off the field. Past 5 winners are Dunn, Goldsack, Macaffer, N.Brown and Q.Lynch. Dunn's a good shot everyone talks highly of him as a teammate and you always see him in the rooms and around the team even when he doesn't have to be there really.

Dunn lives and breaths his team mates.
Very genuine guy.
Very loved and respected.
 
Absolutely criminal that this bloke didn't at least make the AA squad.

Hard to argue that he's had a better year than Stewart, Haynes, Sicily, Grimes, Houli, or Rampe,

Could make a case against Sheppard.

Honestly wouldn't surprise me if Miocheck was a top 6 finish.
 
imo he's been better than Sheppard, Sicily, Houli and Rampe.

Happy for you to think that but as I say, all bar Sheppard are hard to argue, and you could make the case for Sheppard if so inclined. At the end of the day, it's all pretty subjective.
 
Sheppard and Maynard are pretty comparable I would have thought

I think Sheppard is a consistently better lock down defender than both Crisp and Maynard and his disposal is next level comparatively. They both offer more dash and have greater x-factor. Just depends what you look for and what you rate.

"Yeah let's chuck Sicily in there for good measure. Not enough Hawks in there"
I thought the AFL was obsessed with Champion Data?
The AA squad selectors care about names. Crisp isn’t ‘big name’ enough for AA apparently.
 
Be interesting to look at the actual selectors.

Tipping a few are not intellectually gifted.

Danny Frawley, Luke Darcy, Matthew Richardson (good guy at least but that’s not the criteria) are a few on the panel.

Then you have the obstinate (granted smart) recalcitrant quirky Kevin Bartlett.

Stephen Jocking with the rules.

Ofcourse tye eloquent Gil.

Assorted interstate types.
