2010 Dally M Awards thread

[Tom Ace]

Nothing for Kouparitsus either. Unbelievable.

Rigged

Origin players scored Dally M points according to Warren Smith.

Yeah but it's a lot harder to score points in them, especially for NSW players ;-)

 

[Apey]

well done to Carney but Boyd was more deserving to win the Dally M. If Boyd never snubbed the media that time he may have been more favoured and got over the line.

Jared has jumped the shark.

 

[The Tank]

Let's face it, the Dally M player of the year award is flawed from the start. The points system is totally ridiculous.

You could have the perfect game of football, where everyone has a blinder. The media give their 3-2-1 decision at the end and 31 players get nothing.

Then you could have those games that are woeful, park footy stuff. Still, the media give their 3-2-1 decision when nobody really deserves anything.

The simple solution is to give every player in every game a score, let's say out of 10. If everyone deserves 10, give it to them. If everyone deserves 0, so be it. At the end of the year, just add up the scores. Highest score wins. Simple!

Exactly. It isn't hard.

Not to mention Jarryd Mullen on 8 and Jarrod Mullen on 6...

 

[Tom Ace]

Jared has jumped the shark.

And nuked the fridge at the same time

 

[Marshall_magic]

After the farce last year, last nights were much better but there were still some questionable winners.

Regardless, who cares really?

This, even if you don't agree the winners were the best in their positions, they all had great seasons. I didn't agree with all of them, but found pretty much all the results satisfying

Yeah but it's a lot harder to score points in them, especially for NSW players ;-)

True, most of them have a lack of skill.

[NZ_10c_Warriors]

carney rigged the results, but he deserved to win, would love to see my boy marshall win it though! kiwi pride!

 

[TheDalek079]

how did Carney rig it? did he bribe the judges? do you have a source for the accusations?

 

[eddy2]

Some of you are so stupid it hurts.

Carney's 2 points in a losing game against the sharks are not different to the last 2 Farrah scored in a losing game against the Titans. If you had of watched the game you would have seen just how good Carney was, with one highlight being 2 40/20s in the space of like 10 minutes.

Sucks for Robbie BUT suck it up. Onya Toddy!

 

[typicalfan]

Robbie deserved the two points. Apart from that god awful grubber he was one of the best on the field.

After Round 18:
Darius Boyd 17
Issac Luke 16
Lachlan Coote 15
Paul Gallen 15
Sam Thaiday 15
Todd Carney 15
Robbie Farah 15
Greg Bird 12
Cooper Cronk 12
Darren Lockyer 12

After Round 19:
Darius Boyd 19
Todd Carney 19
Issac Luke 16
Lachlan Coote 15
Paul Gallen 15
Sam Thaiday 15
Robbie Farah 15
Greg Bird 12
Cooper Cronk 12
Darren Lockyer 12

So Carney got 4 points for round 19? :?

 

[Iafeta]

Nate Myles 9 points and Nate Miles 2 points :crazy:

Cool, Brad Matulino got a point too.

 

[evil_p091280]

Carney also got a point against the dragons.

Now I watched that game twice and analysed the stats, and there were at least 7 dragons players who were better than Carney was. How did he get a point in a game where the dragons (even when behind) never looked like losing.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Dally M's = No credibility whatsoever

 

[yawn]

Who was the man on fox saturday a few weeks ago who said Carney could win.

Someone suggested that was impossible he couldnt even win a position award because he played fullback and 5/8.
