Nathan for Dally M Medal

[GongPanther]

The Dally M is a bit like that, it is true. Maybe Crichton will get most tries. They can't rort that.

I think Crichton will easily manage that one.

And with us playing teams well down the ladder, they have to get the ball to him as oft as possible.

 

[luv my panfas]

We might have to make do with Coach of the Year, Rookie of the Year (Crichton), halfback, hooker, prop, lock and bench player (May).

You can cross out the coach to Id say after today ?

Ah yes, no corruption in this game, but just don't expect to win any awards if we don't like you.

I don’t really follow the Dally M points scoring but is it even possible Cleary can still be in contention given I read someone say he had six points deducted for his COVID breach.

The consensus is that he is five points behind Cam Smith and three behind Gutherson and Johnson (actually it wouldn't surprise me if Johnson had got the 2 last game). With Smith out this week he has a chance of closing that gap. He would be in the lead if he did not lose the 6 points.

So he is still eligible despite his COVID suspension. OK it differs to the AFL Brownlow in so much as a suspension makes you ineligible at least I think that is there system.

It does seem a little harsh being punished twice but he did the wrong thing I guess and needs to accept it, which he has with some grace and dignity.

 

[forby]

But he did nothing wrong as far as best & fairest is concerned. It seems unfair to be penalised for something off field when it is supposed to be an on field award.

 

[John Hamblin]

More points for Nathan last night his kicking was sensational!!!!!

 

[Panfa]

If we finish 1st ivan and nathan will both win dally m coach and player of the yr.

 

[maple_69]

I’d say Brown-Brown-Johnson at 3-2-1 for the 4pm game and Brimson-Kelly-Proctor for the 2pm game.

My guess on current standings:
Smith - 17
Gutho - 15
Johnson - 15
Grant - 13
Taumalolo - 12
Cleary - 12

My guesses for this week.
Panthers v Warriors 3-2-1: Koroisau-Harris-Cleary. I do think JFH and Edwards were more deserving but the controlling kicking game I think will stand out to whoever judged.

Eels v Dragons 3-2-1: McInnes-Ravalawa/Pereira/Lomax-Gutho

Sharks v Titans 3-2-1: Talakai-Johnson-Kelly. I didn’t see much of this game.

Cows v Souths: Reynolds-Morgan-Walker/Johnston

My guess on current standings:
Smith - 17
Johnson - 17
Gutho - 16
Cleary - 13
Grant - 13
Taumalolo - 12

Players like Wighton, Benji Marshall and Kalyn Ponga might be coming into this group now.

 

[maple_69]

Wighton I will guess got 2 in R11 and maybe one elsewhere but not sure he’s stood out in Canberra’s 3 wins over average sides.

I don’t think I’ll bother following Benji at this stage as he’d be somewhere below 12 with a terrible draw coming up and a Tigers side looking shot. Ponga only had 3 points up until R10 also surprisingly so he’d really need to put a Hayne like run in to win it.

Api could actually be not too far off with potentially 3 against the Warriors and likely 1-2 total from the Manly/Raiders games. That would leave him at 12 or so.

Keary, Pap and George Williams are the other guys probably around 10-12 points and within striking range with a big last 6 games.

 

[maple_69]

Ok I reckon Cleary is going to struggle from here. Might as well cross Taumalolo, Grant and Api off with their injuries.

Martin-Luai-Mansour get my 3-2-1 for our game.
Matterson-Gutho-Brown for the Eels.
Wighton would have scooped 3 for sure.

Gutherson: 18
Johnson: 17
Smith: 17
Wighton: 16
Cleary: 13

Anyone know what Waqa Blake's points are on, i reckon he got 3 for the Rabbitohs....tehe

 

[The_Frog]

I'd give lock to Yeo but there's no way the powers that be go him over Lolo.

Taumalolo has played 14 games this year and his team have won 3 of them. If he's adjudged the best 13 in the comp it is on reputation.

 

[Kilkenny]

I’m not sure Nathan would have polled any points against the Eels give Edwards and JFH probably got the majors 3 & 2. A host of others in contention for the 1 point.

I think for Nathan to have any chance of the big prize he surely needs two 3 point performances from our last two games and even then probably finish a point or two shy. Shame I think the double punishment around the Tik Tok thing was harsh.

 

[maple_69]

Yeah I couldn’t be bothered to keep guessing at it. By my eye Cleary has been about the 3rd or 4th best on ground each week over the past month but that’s not gonna help him. I think Smith is close to a sure thing atm.

 

[The_Frog]

Shame I think the double punishment around the Tik Tok thing was harsh.

What it means is that the best player doesn't win the award, which is a sure way for it to lose relevance.

 

[Fangs]

He won't win it now.

Still, his best year in first grade. We needed him to evolve a bit with Maloney gone and he has. He looks like a very durable player who will keep our team successful for a long time.

 

[betcats]

Jerome has been the star for much of the last five or six weeks this might hurt his chances , they have both been excellent but it’s a struggle to pick up the three points often enough with so many good players in the team.
