Review Qualifying Final, 2020 - Brisbane Lions vs. Richmond

[Lace Out]

Why?

Say Dougal Howard gets 7,10,10,4 and Rich gets 10,10,10 as a premiership player.

Howard wins..fair ?

It's only been handed out since 2016 and two of the four times have gone to a player on a team that didn't win the flag. I doubt winning it is any consolation to those players. They want to win a premiership, not some individual honour. I really don't think the calculation method is that important, or that any player that missed out by a vote like that scenario would care if they were a premiership player.

Poorly thought out award,shouldn’t exist if they can’t get it right.

Yeah, probably. AFL does like to hand out awards though but really at that end of the season there's only one award that matters.

my bad if this has been posted already. Too damn good.

A fairer calculation method would be (a) sum of scores from finals games played divided by number of finals games played and (b) must have played at least two finals games (to eliminate player who played just once and got a very high score - award should reward consistency).

It just seems excessive for an award no one cares about.

Best way would be add multipliers.

Something like:

• 1x for the first two weeks.
• 2x or more for the prelim week and GF.

Prioritises making it through each week. Theoretically a team playing all four weeks will get a bonus but it's only 20% instead of 33% more.

Gosh Richmond fans are so contradictory. On one post they say Saints were lucky to win because bulldogs had more i50s and more scoring shots and missed easy goals.

Well wtf happened to Brisbane against those clowns last year. Oh wait it was richmonds supreme pressure that made us miss all those shots. Isn't that alot like saint's supreme pressure.

Jèez I have never seen a bigger supporter base so full of nuffies its embarrassing for them.

I find this Gary Ayes Medal a bit irrelevant really. At the end of the day, the best team effort will win the Grand Final. Richmond has won 2 out of 3 flags by having an even contribution across the board. We do the same in the next 2 games & I reckon we are a very good chance to be holding up the silverware.

Prestia said Brisbane “got MOST of their shots from frees and 50 metre penalties”..I think Fagan should bring this up if we meet them in the GF If even the players are saying it.

I think the discussion is about an unfair voting system for the award whether it’s irrelevant or not

Just adding another dimension to the discussion is all.

I noticed Prestia shooting his mouth off at the end of one of the qtrs or half time even. Lions players were just laughing at him. Barely played all season and wanted to walk in and shoot from the hip.Comes across as a massive flog. Second half Zorko smashed him in one on one tackle. Think he shut up after that.

I love that - Richmond players thinking they were robbed means they will still show up arrogantly assuming the outcome is theirs to control.

Cue evil laugh hahahahahahaha

We own these bunnies

Amazingly, THE most positive mainstream media review of Brisbane’s performance i have come across was on Access All Areas (Barrett and Lloyd) on afl.com.au. Starts at 11:36

 

[Harris Specter]

Would love to face Geelong and knock the retirement home out.

 

[haystark]

The utter contempt Richmond and the media have shown for Brisbane after the win is delicious. I’m happy for them to write us off or feel like they were robbed than be all over us like a rash. Bring it on.

It's good to see them still stuck between denial and anger.

I was worried they might be prepared to accept and learn from it, not there yet is good news.

We will put them through the remaining phases in the upcoming clashes hopefully.

Just had a quick look at the Richmond board. They are not all bad over there but they have a few who are totally clueless. Like the guy who said the Lions got away with murder the other night and were sniping Tigers players all night and that umpires turned a blind eye to it.

The guy must have short memory loss. Someone needs to remind him about old Tommy Lynch sniping blokes every week. Guess that was fine. He even tried to say big O was at fault for the Shai Bolton 50 when he tackled him haha. Special breed the Tigers.

Yeah lots of decent posters there, but they have a few blind idiots who have a weird victim mentality and lash out at everything that seems to not go their way.

I'd tend to agree as well ultimately, given I'd never heard of it until the original post in this thread.

 

[davemc_lions]

I have a few tigers mates.. One did not message me as needed to calm down from umpires.
One of the others said we keep giving away stupid frees although again said we got a dream run.
I might of missed the 8 goals we got from frees one mentioned.
Was not happy when I said Dusty threw it for one of yours
