last year the hoodoo wasn't in effect since the Dally M winner wasn't from Manly or Melbourne but it was there in spirit since the Cowboys choked in week 3.
stop digging dude.

who's first?In keeping things simple I have Orford as 2nd. Same as our table position.

First off, i agree that Orford is playing pretty good footy this year but IMO Prince has been better, even Slater has been better as well i think. And just because Orford isn't popular around here amongst your average everyday footy fan doesn't instantly mean he's not popular with the journo's who vote. Just because some of the voters don't think he's up to playing rep footy and he chokes in big games (eg finals) doesn't necessarily mean they think he's a dud in club games where he's polled well.
In your opinion it's more of an achievement for him as you stated but that doesn't mean it is or make it so. Just like my opinion on things doesn't mean much at all to you and others who disagree with it as well. You can put the award up there with the greatest and most coverted in the world if you want and that's entirely up to you, but it shouldn't bother you one bit what i think of it as it obviously does. Though i suspect that has more to do with your man crush on Ox than what it does me questioning the validity of the award.
Looks like the TIgers might have the same problem they did in 05 where we had 3 in the top 10 but everyone pinching points off eachother
