Toast The Ultimate Trophy Cabinet

[Ned Ryerson]

I would rather be Jonathan Simpkin than Brendan Fevola or even Scott West.

And I would rather be Robert Harvey than Aaron Keating.

Well as a very simple comparison some guy who has won a club Best and Fairest (9pts), an All Australian(9pts) and a Coleman(9pts) for one good season could rank higher than a bloke who had won 5 premierships (5pts) over the course of his career. Im pretty sure that doesn't make any sense.

And someone given legend status who had never won a flag would beat both of your scenarios.

You can disagree with their system but it's obviously designed to weight achievements celebrating the individual higher.

Yep, individual awards are fine, but it’s a team sport, and the Hawks are always a “team first” club. The ultimate aim is to win a premiership.

And even more premierships!

Arthur comes in at 8

Assume the scoring system was played with to ensure they ended up with the order they wanted?

They gave Hodge an AFLPA Player of the Year. Can anyone tell me what year it was? The AFLPA site says he never won it....

Blunder?

Most courageous? 2010

OP updated with the list so far and links to the articles
all that is left is the top four
Names like Dunstall, Tuck, Matthews, Crawford and Parkin all absent from the list so far but only room for four of them

Personally I wouldn't be suprised if it went
4 Parkin/Crawf (Legend vs B&F tall plus Crawf has more games as Captain)
3 Dunstall
2 Tuck
1 Matthews

He did get a Captain of the year. Maybe that is counted.

I'd say that's what's happened, but they're not really the same!

Huddo at 5 !!

 

[Davo23]

Huddo at 5 !!

In only 129 games!

he was runner up one year. Received 5 points for it, when the ALFPA player of the year gets 10 points. Should say he was a runner up, didnt win it.

How Selwood got captain over Hodge so many times still baffles me...

 

[Ned Ryerson]

How Selwood got captain over Hodge so many times still baffles me...

Because Selwood puts his head on the line for his team.

 

[Gralin]

So do we have a tie for third between Parkin and Dunstall?

 

[Gralin]

hmmm by my math Parkin has been skipped

 

[Dewnior]

Because Selwood puts his head on the line for his team.

Unlike his ex-coach who puts his nose on it.

 

[Gralin]

Tucky at 3

 

[Dewnior]

Gotta be Dunstall then Matthews

 

[Gralin]

you'd think so
I was looking yesterday at Dunstall's cv, you kind of forget how good he was
6 seasons kicking 100 goals, 4 PCM, 3 Coleman medals etc

Only two All australians is amusing, even if they only really started in 1991.

Just proves how much a BS award it is voted on by BS media people and AFL administrators.

Silk has only one All Australian and that was back when he was playing for Port.

Lethal at #1 according to the website. Poor Bung got skipped.
