Hmmmmm
Scotty Lucas will be in with a shot. Watson also, and he will be in with a shot at most improved as well. Mark Johnson through playing every game, maybe Hille? I dunno. I'd hazard a guess at Lucas

The quinella at Hawthorn is a monty for Sam Mitchell and Luke Hodge.

Shane Crawford and Tim Clarke will push hard for the bronze, but its Brad Sewell for mine.

3. Ling

I thought Ling had put in a pretty ordinary year (particularly by his standards), Twizzle?

he did, normaly he'd be our No 1 player

problem is he didn't have much competition

Joel Corey and perpahs even Scarlett, but they were like the rest of the team, up and down.

collingwoods is wide open top 5 in any order would be Ben Johnson, Shane O'Bree, Josh Fraser, James Clement and Alan Didak

I suspect Heath Shaw will rate well. Clement and Didak were standouts, probably Johnson 3rd as i thought he tailed off near the end of the year. Ryan Lonie for an outsider.

Fatnall beat out Fevola for the Carlton B & F?


Their judges are kidding themselves...

Whitnall did have a strong year for the club in defence.

All clubs have different counting methods, too.

Some do a 3-2-1, but others are more complex.

Hawthorn has a count that scores each player each round, which is a way of ensuring defenders get a fair shot at the award. 3-2-1 systems, and the like, tend to unfairly advantage midfielders or forwards who tend to have the odd day out.

Couldn't believe that either. What does Fev have to do to win it? Sure Whitnall has had a "decent" year... but come on Fevola at 70% of clubs would have won it i reckon.

For Richmond (similar to yours)

3. Simo
2. Bowdo (J)
1. Raines

Bowden has been great for the fact he was playing way out of position, but i cant go past Simmonds.

With the way ours works (Similarish to Hawthorn's setup Kev mentions above) - I feel Joel will pull it off.

Mate I just can't go past a bloke who kicked 80 odd goals in a team that bad. Fevola has claims to being one of the players of the season, not just at Carlton.

I don't disagree.

I was just playing Devil's advocate.

I'd like to know what scoring mechanism the Blues have in place.
