Can the umps get some education ffs. Feels like they used to at least recognise rucks. 20 possessions for a mid is a poor game, and 25 is average these days.

Blokes polling 3 votes all over the place for 25 possession games, no goals.

4 goals as a forward these days is a game changer but will likely yield you nothing. Hogan's year for example was epic.

Meanwhile, look at a bloke like Sam Taylor who apparently allowed 1 contested mark against himself all year ffs. Couldn't have been more dominant in his position. Or even Wilkie who is regularly the most influential bloke on the ground.

What are they actually watching? It's hard to be this stupid.
 
I don't reckon Cripps ever gets a hard tag. He is just not that damaging. 30 possessions from Cripps is not something you really lose sleep over.

30 possessions from Bont and it is likely game over.

Bont has more competition for votes in the Bulldogs midfield than Cripps does in the Carlton midfield and the umpires usually vote for midfielders, Carlton's other best players like Curnow, Weitering and Tom De Koning aren't going to take many votes off him.

Bont has to compete with Treloar, Libba and Macrae for votes but he doesn't have to compete with Macrae for votes next year.

Looks like my opinion of the worth of these awards is justified once again

MOTY, GOTY, Brownlow, Rising Star all just rubbish for the media and headlines and nothing else. Haven't meant shit in years
