Couldn't help yourself again Rids ..... he was so epic we were routinely flogged in the middle .... it was a standard Priddis performance, hard working, lots off first hands on the ball, minimal actual effect on the result ... he remains a very very B grade midfielder when judged against the standard of players playing the same position in decent sides... EPIC?
You were one I argued with about Beau Wilkes ... enough said
Its not hate. Its realism. We are 2-2 and have beaten 2 of the worst teams in the AFL. We have flooded the shit out of the midfield in the 4 games like poor sides do in soccer. We have lost to sides who have beaten us because of superior class. Priddis played against Mitchell today and was well beaten for impact on the game, for disposals and was beaten in clearances. He got him for tackles, but Sewell takes that role for the Hawks and he actually sticks them in space. Priddis was arguably in our best 5 today but if a talented player got the service and possessions he did we would win..... thats my point. When the game is on the line does he win the clearance and get it going our way? No. He works his arse off in an admirable fashion and its not his fault that he should be a rotation mid and he is played as the key man - but he is and it holds us back....
Maybe 1 vote today for sheer involvement in the game but if it was an MVP, well his impact was limited.
Lets keep playing him 80%+ of game time and build our midfield around him and aim for a series of 10th or 11th placed finishes ...
The Priddis love is exactly the same as the McManus love that we used to laugh at ... 228 games of mediocrity that defined the Dockers ....

Thanks Dad
Whats the point of people giving votes if they don't give some reasons to support those votes.
Its allegedly an MVP. Typically the notion of an MVP is the player who is most valuable, who has the most impact on a teams performance. I am simply asking people to clarify what impact the people they vote for actually had.
And I have given my votes before but generally reckon its pointless unless you have some real criteria and some real context. At present, I could vote for Justin Bieber and it would be about as relevant as most of the efforts in here....

You're right off target there, Eagle87 - I've never gone into bat for Wilkes.
No he didn't - just got home from footy and watched the game - Sewell and Priddis went with each other pretty much the whole game
Hahaha ... imagine you flying in late to defend Matty ...
They were playing the same role for the opposing sides. A duel if you like. Which one did that to greater effect?
Shit, I'd strongly suggest that Sewell was more effective with ball in hand than Priddis. And he pretty much matched him for tackle count.
No blinkers at all. The key inside mid for Hawthorn flogged our key inside mid. Regardless of who stood next to who at times ... and I watched the game too and have watched a replay since
