Um a very strange voting process early on one game had 19 players getting a vote/s .
I presume line coaches voting mostly for the players they control or are responsible for .

Liked the Teague and Cripps speeches...Paddy mentioned “he’s been at the club six years and hasn’t played finals, I want to play finals”
I hope we play finals in the next few years.

Yeah, I agree. From the bits that I saw Huddo looked like he was there to do a job and that’s it. No passion or enthusiasm.

And great to see 3 players who were drafted since SOS started in the 2015 draft or later (Walsh, Weitering, Samo), 2 drafted not long before (Cripps, Plowman), and 5 of our more senior players up there (Ed, Murphy, Simpson, Levi, Jones).

Spoke to Levi Casboult last night.
Only has 1 a one deal on table. Told me he would love to have a 2 year deal but nothing offered yet.
Only player who can play back,forward and ruck.
Rousing cheer when he finished in top ten count.
His wife is 36 weeks pregnant.
Come on SOS give him some good news and sign him up for 2 years before birth.

We said.
Congrats Patrick!
How dare you?
I should be at school
Maybe one of those things I was raised on.
I still spell words without taking out the 'u' and double the last letter on some words ending in 'ing'
Who cares? Who wants to think about being 'correct' at the expense of getting out what you want and as quickly as possib;e.
PS - Well done Cripps
I actually watch him very closely and he makes costly mistakes most weeks. He was not our 3rd best players this season and should not have finished within 9 votes of Cripps.
Every player makes costly mistakes every week.
Plowman's seem to stand out to a lot of people a lot more, and that's for 2 reasons:
1. They're already looking for the mistakes, so when he does make one, it reinforces their preconceptions, and
2. He's a defender, so his mistakes cost goals in an obvious way (other mistakes, say shots at goal, and stuffing up the transition through the midfield also cost us goals, but they are less obvious, and more easily forgiven by supporters).

Agree with this back 6 but would swap Jones and Weitering. And I think SPS is the next player to go thru backline.
I can see your infatuation with Plowman going by the name. My best back 6 if everyone is available is:
Simpson Jones Marchbank
Newman Weitering Docherty
Also think SPS is best suited to backline.
Tbh the username is there mostly because of my upbringing with The Simpsons and the serendipity of Plowman moving across.
There is no way on Judd's green Earth that Newman ever plays ahead of Plowman.
Completely agree. Has deserved it all year. He’s easily got 2 years of afl footy left.
His versatility is a blessing.

Hall of Famer
If thus years best players become depth, we are in a good space
We play (and will play) 7 defenders in the 22. The first 5 picked, every week, will be:
B: Docherty, Jones, Plowman
HB: Marchbank, Weitering
Samo is best 22 (and Martin). Whether they will play HBF is yet to be determined, but you can fill the last 2 backline spots with them, or a combination of Simpson, Newman, Williamson etc.
Such an odd saying. Like you’re quoting it accurately but....the planet is basically......Blue. Isn’t it?
Clearly Plowman will be one of the first picked going by the b&f voting. I'm not confident of him standing up in a big final with how nervous he gets and the costly mistakes he makes.
You're also ignoring his consistency, which counts for a lot in BnF voting.
Cripps missed an extra game, and put in a few shockers when he was clearly struggling with fitness.
Murphy had a really poor start to the year. Jones missed a stack of games.
So the issue is your confidence, not Plowman's actual game.
