1991 Brad Clyde
1993 Brad Mackay

 

[Pete Cash]

Bradley Clyde in 91 and Brad Mackay in 93 I think are the only ones. That is off the top of my head so I may be wrong.

Beaten

Fui didn't have a chance because he's a Kiwi. The australian selectors only pick Kangaroos (or players who are likely to play for the Kangaroos in the future) as CC medal winners. FACT.

 

[Bman26]

He only made an impact in his third spell, his first two spells he was average, nothing more nothing less. If you want to win it from a losing team you would have to have impact from minute one to minute eighty

Got to do more than just hurl coconuts for 10 mins.

have never really thought about it, but when you think about it, it could be a realistic theory!

people thought Nikau would get it in 99.
did benji get it n '05?

[>zuzu<]

I thought Cronk deserved it tbh

 

[Jason_(Is_our_King)_Smith]

Billy Slater had a great game but both Fui Fui and Hindmarsh were standouts...65 tackles in a grand final is that a record? Pity the selectors didn't have the courage to give it to a player from the losing side, as has happened in past years.

 

[gaterooze]

Hindmarsh for mine.

 

[Meth]

Hindmarsh and FuiFui were definitely candidates for it.

I thought Cronk deserved it too. Blair was up there too

 

[coach]

I don't believe any one player stood out. Could have given the award to a few different players.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Eric Groth or Adam Blair were better than Slater imo

 

[gottabegood]

FF MM performance was miles infront of everybody else, and is the only reason Para came close. If he plays for Melbourne, they win by 40.

 

[kuwaiti kev]

Blair for mine, he was everywhere in attack and defence. It looked like he had the job of upsetting the Parra attackers with the niggly stuff, but then was always a danger will ball in hand. definately one of his best games!

But yeah too ugly and too kiwi to win the medal

 

[Frailty]

For me I would have thought Blair or Cronk to get the nod for Clive Curchill...

Hindmarsh a good chance...

As for Moi Moi... was he only on the field in the last 20 minutes?

 

[natheel]

He only made an impact in his third spell, his first two spells he was average, nothing more nothing less. If you want to win it from a losing team you would have to have impact from minute one to minute eighty

in the second spell he hammered brett white and ran hard

first spell he gave it johnson too

he was good all match

 

[watatank]

Ryan Hoffman should've got it.

 

[Martli]

As for Moi Moi... was he only on the field in the last 20 minutes?

No, he came off at the 65th and then came back some time like the 70th or so.
