Peter Crimmins medal 2017

[HairyO]

Clarko really liked the way Hodge taught the kids in the backline this year. Personally his year was pretty good but in terms of leadership it was golden.

Burton coming 4th is fantastic. Someone to really push Mitchell and Big Boy next year.

 

[Aramis]

Tommy Mitchell take a bow, well done... superstar! Look forward to you running around for the hawkers for many years to come!

Thank god McEvoy didn't retire last year to become a farmer

 

[JC Hawks]

Expected winner in Mitchell. Really enjoyed how seamlessly he has settled in and become a quality player at the Hawks. Great result with McEvoy coming runner-up, been quality this year taking on the sole-responsibility of rucking.

Luke Hodge coming third shows how much the coaching staff his leadership skills after losing a bit of his touch as a 33 year-old.

Finally, fantastic result for Burton finishing fourth, not far behind Hodge in only his second season. Can only get better which I hope he will be contesting Tom Mitchell and Jaeger in the next couple of years.

Although I can invisage him running around in a paddock Cliff Young style.

What? He's going to Gold Coast?

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Well done to Mitchell, amazing to win it in his first year. Burton fourth, wow, that is terrific... I wonder where McGrath finished in Essendon's B&F... Great to see Big Boy rewarded for his great season too.

Hodgey third? Surely we should have demoted him to 11th Crows style

 

[Burtman]

Tonight just underlines how poor of a decision the rising star was. Burto 4th, McGrath can't even crack top 10.

It's harder to poll votes in a top side than a team that's got no real talent










Don't shoot the messenger

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Perplexed that Hardwick wasn't in the top 10.

That's okay - he'll win one in the next few years!

Yeah. They did finish a huge 1.5 wins ahead of us...

If only we snuck into finals and got done by 10 goals. I wonder who the media will get behind now that Francis wants a trade back to SA. He's been the favourite two years running now

All they need to do is finally win a game at the SCG and the flag is basically theirs !

When do you think you will get over it?

When do you think you will get over it?

It's something that will haunt me the rest of my life

 

[SSSSSS]

Good speech by Clarko so far.


The Abbott Government changed the previous NBN plan (this plan was introduced by the previous government) from Fibre to the Premises (high speed internet for the 21st century) to Fibre to the Node. The latter relies on the current copper wiring which we all know it's shit. Therefore, this technology is a waste. All this was to in order to save money.

Turnbull was Communications Minister during this time. They are spending your money on an internet connection that will not improve your speed.

Done the absolute opposite. Will end up costing Australia hundreds of billions (and that's being generous) in the future as we fall behind. We had a once in a century opportunity to get a head start on the future's digital economy and we blew it for old mate Rupert.

Oh and go Tom

 

[tommyk72]

Personally would have had Sicily as high as 5th. Particularly surprised to see Roughead and Gunston ahead of him.

Guess it shows how much Gunston’s versatility was valued.
