Live Event 2023 Leon Davis Medal : CONGRATULATIONS Billy Frampton a potato most deserving!

[Maddo11]

I think with deciding a Leon Davis Medal a player's potential versus their output on the day has to be taken into consideration.

As a hypothetical case, just say in 2018 Richmond as expected defeated Collingwood in the Preliminary Final but saved their shocker for the Grand Final the next week against the West Coast Eagles. And the Eagles were not sympathetic, repeating a hiding they gave to the Tigers in Perth in May and winning a very one-sided Grand Final by 10 goals.

Any of the star Tigers in this Richmond team who underperformed on the day such as Dustin Martin, Trent Cotchin, Jack Riewoldt, Dion Prestia, Bachar Houli, Shane Edwards or Alex Rance would surely be better candidates for the Leon Davis Medal than an overwhelmed Tigers rookie who had limited game time and just one handpass. Or an obscure Eagles player who was on and off the field all day, not really needed and had only a handful of few and far between possessions.

That's a fine hypothetical, until you realise that just last season Gary Rohan won the medal after being unable to get near the ball while being on the winning side of a flogging.

So yeah nah

Gary 'BIG RED' Rohan won it last year and he was sharing a forward line with three fellas who all made the AA team that season. Billy 'Leon in a winning team' Frampton managed one kick and FOUR clangers, this is without a doubt one of the all-time shitful performances we'll see in a Grand Final. A Legendary Leon if you will.

If I didn't know any better I'd say judging by your postings ITT Billy Frampton winning the coveted Neon Leon has you a little hot under the collar.

Didn't take much effort, or a calculator.

Poor Dockers

Hence why it’s lazy.

Brain, grow it.

Sorry, can you synthesise your point?

Shows the collective Bay 13 intelligence when Frampton receives this over Hipwood.

You think you’re smarter than the bay?

100% proof that Hinkley is a genius.

I hope we can come up with an IRL Leon Medal for Billy. Fringe player comes in for an unlikely Grand Final appearance, drops two in the goalsquare in the first quarter and ICRs Brisbane's best defender for three quarters.
