Swan being that much ahead of Roo is still a joke.

MUP Award... Most uncontested player... Congratulations Gary, you deserved it...wait till Riewoldt, the true MVP, kicks 8 in the Grand Final.
I agree. I've said all along Riewoldt should have won but I would question Judd being ahead of Riewoldt way more than Swan.

Get over yourself!
I hate that they call it MVP.
Maybe call it something that represents the players just voting for who is the best. But Brian Lake is clearly more valuable to the Dogs than any of those players are to their teams.

agreed, again...
Bloody hell. I thought Roo had it in the bag.
Yeah, they just play the game and observe the play up close and are professional players. I would prefer your opinion to the players - especially as there would be no pro-essendon /anti-carlton bias with your opinions about judd - would there?

...Yep, losing hurts doesn't it. Pity you had NO player remotely close to Gaz or any other Cats player in ANYTHING of any note.

I can maybe understand Ablett being ahead of Riewoldt, although personally I think Riewoldt has had a better, more consistent year, but Swan and Judd ahead of Riewoldt is ridiculous.
You only have to look at Riewoldt's performance on the weekend compared to Swan and Judd to see how much more valuable he has been as a player this year.

Yeah you can. Do they actually watch the game enough to get an understanding of the best players. The top 10 would say they do but anything that is based on opinion can always be argued.

Maybe Riewoldt makes many enemies on football field
LOL, you do realize Ablett was 2nd in the league for contested possessions this year yeah?
Yeah, agree. Judd was crapp this year.
He was only the Number 1 clearance player in the league, number 1 contested possession player (above Ablett), number 1 inside 50 (above ablett again)...yeah, i agree judd was crap this year.
There would be a dozen players more valuable to their respective sides than Ablett is to the cats.
Every player votes 3-2-1.
And Kappa Tau - stupid comment about Ablett. He killed us on Saturday.
I hate to come across as a biased sook... but on top of Riewoldt, Hayes at 9 is another pretty poor result I reckon.
oh well.
Judd was BOG or 2nd best just behind Black.
That said, very surprised that Riewoldt didn't win. Definitely the best player for mine.
Crap only has one p. At no stage have I called Judd crap, I just think Riewoldt has CLEARLY had the better year.Yeah, agree. Judd was crapp this year.
