Is this event even worth watching?
We know it's now a midfielders award. Umpires have been bullied by the media into giving high possession games votes, because of that game where Greg Williams got 44 possessions (aprox), and didn't get a vote.
With all due respect to Cripps and Nick Daicos, last year waa an embarrassing farce imo.
Add to that about 2 hours of adds, cross promotion and Hamish McIntosh's creepy awkward interviews.
Then there is the woeful cashed up bogan fashion parade.
I'm not watching it and I don't care who wins.

I'm curious to see the Hawthorn count... would be a interesting to see a side with say 14+ wins and nobody getting more than 12 votes

Your best post ever.

Concur. Won’t watch, will not GAF, midfielder award, best player for the year rarely wins it, just a promotional event for influencer WAGS and Instagram uploads.

I’ll give the Saddam Hussein execution a rewatch instead.

My routine is to have a live feed of votes while reading the bigfooty thread cringing at it all, it's an entertaining night that way 👍

Ah c'mon you curmudgeons it's still a fun watch.
Actually.... wait... I'm thinking about it now.... the 85 ad breaks... the community service award... Daniel Gorringe on the red carpet... the retiree slideshow acting like they all died in a plane crash... Richard Goyder.....
My god it isn't fun to watch at all!!!

Historically we have never got all the 3, 2, 1 in wins and rarely get any votes in losses. We havent had many standout performances so I suspect we get a heap of players in the 6 to 10 range but none get more than 15.

Our total votes will be lower than any other top 8 team.
