He’s a class act and I’m crossing everything for him to play in the GF. Such a quality human being

 

[Gigantic]

Fantastic achievement and a testament to his character. Well done.

Firstly - I want to congratulate Cogs on being recognised for his outstanding work and being an all-round top bloke.

But...
When he was nominated for the award and General Giant posted about it in the “Giants in the Community” thread I said rather sarcastically/facetiously...

It’s a smokescreen. You know he only gets those hundreds of thousands of dollars ($800k-$1.2mil) to pretend to be a multicultural ambassador to get around the salary cap and keep him in western Sydney.

He’s just been nominated to maintain the illusion.

Think, man! think. You know it’s true.

Then I decided to read the Brownlow night thread on the main board and Lo and behold..

p**s off Coniglio, gil's name written all over that award.

And

Helps to win the community award when the AFL is giving you a couple of hundred thousand as an cultural ambassador

In other words....

Nailed it.

Great video (some people need to be hit over the head with it.)

Well done to Cogs. Heart of Orange this one.

Fingers crossed he gets up and plays the game of his life on Saturday.
