Anyway, Mark Geyer is a well known dribbler.

Has a face that looks like Burns as well!:lol:

 

[JoeD]

Not sure about Witty getting points but what idiot decided Geyer should be a judge after the comments he made? What if it had been a close match? Just shows you can't take these awards very seriously.

 

[lockyno1]

Ben Ikin is another judge..fair dinkum these awards are a joke

 

[JJ]

Ben Ikin and Mark Geyer :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[lockyno1]

Honestly most of you hate AFL, but at least their player of the year (Brownlow Medal) is done a bit better. Get the referees to give a 3-2-1 vote after each match. IMO that is a much better system.

 

[Timmah]

I disagree... refs is a bad idea. Some ref's can hold grudges against players and clubs and don't really see the whole game. Give it to some more respected journo's (oxymoron I know)

Having two-bit ex-footballers with agendas and bias doesn't cut it anymore.

 

[Dutchy]

Refs need to learn the rules of the game before they can decide who plays better than who!

 

[Nathan B]

So, Andrew Ryan was better than Mason and Sonny on Friday night. Yeah, right!

That was just about as quiet as Ryan gets.

Maybe Matthew Johns should check the stats before he awards points. He's on the side line in the cold and wet, busy worrying about what he's going to say on his next cross, making jokes with players and fans. Is it any wonder these points look sillier and sillier?

 

[Timmah]

He was more worried about the video referee screen working than the play involving Kouparitsas' try.

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

I can't!

20 points and nothing!!!!

Not happy!!! :x

Support a team rather than a player based on his looks and you might be able to.

Witt is pants.

 

[Timmah]

SSTID, don't bother.

I think each game should be judged by a few different people and an average worked out.

For example the officials (ref, touchies and video official) and a couple of selectors.

As long as points are being given out by imbeciles (fancy having Ikin give the points in a Broncos game! A more biased half-wit their is not) like Johns, Geyer, Chesterton, et al the award will remain tainted.

 

[Timmah]

I like the idea of the Video Ref perhaps, he's not down there in the middle.

 

[Nathan B]

Set up a Dally M commitee consisting of 10 ex-players, journos or commentators. Their job is to go into NRL headquarters each Wednesday (and get paid for it), view the games on tape (yes, there are things you can pick up by being at the game, but you can't tell me watching the game closely on tape isn't enough to determine the game's top 3), give them copies of the stats and let them pick a 3, 2, 1. Add the totals from the 10 committee members and come up with a final 3, 2 and 1.

A Dally M committee might sound grandiose at first, but if we want the game to move forward, if we want to have a highest individual award with some credibility, I think this is a much better way of going about it.

Steve Price getting the recognition he deserves for his great efforts.

Broncos v Wests Tigers

Judge: Steve Mascord

3 - Tonie Carroll (Broncos)

2 - Karmichael Hunt (Broncos)

1 - Robbie Farah (Tigers)


Farah was very good and was the only player of ours to stand out but losing by that amount he is very lucky

 

[Eddie.]

Losing by 30, generally the unwritten rule is you don't get any points.

However Farah did some very skillful things.

* 40/20
* Tap kick restart finding touch down field
* Individual Try
* Grubber try for Lawrence on 4th tackle
* Kick goals from the the sideline

He probably was one of the best 3 players on the field. However Brisbane had 17 of the top 18 players on the field.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

I didn't even know he was a goalkicker, and he nailed one from near the sideline.

Is Smithy leading yet?
