Mega Thread Congratulations Matt Priddis

[BobHawk]

Just goes to show what a crock of shit the AA selections are nowadays. Priddis couldn't even get a spot on the bench.

Well done Pridda you champ.

The stats that Fitzpatrick read out were quite impressive. Good on him for winning the Brownlow. Nice to see someone win without the hype and thought he spoke very well. When you boil it down is there that much difference between the top 12 or so mids over the course of a season. It's a funny game footy.

Congrats to Priddis, a very well deserved brownlow win after so many consistently high standard seasons now. Doesn't lose his cool and give away stupid suspensions. Is obviously very well conditioned as he doesn't suffer from any lingering injuries. Doesn't go through any quiet patches as Franklin, Gray, Boak, Kennedy etc went through this year. Just keeps on showing the younger eagles midfielders how its supposed to be done week after week. Has the stats to back it up too.

 

[Marmozet]

Lol I was sure West Coast supporters disliked him

 

[little graham]

The real joke of the night is that Dangerfield was anywhere near it.

I agree, with a bung knee, half a rib cage and a heavy tag, surely there was better?

 

[Upgrayedd]

EVEN THE SERVERS CANT HANDLE PRIDDAS!

 

[Astro35]

Congrats pridda.honest toiler that does his job week in, week out. Nothing flashy but jeez he always plays his role.

When you factor in the fact that he didn't have anyone taking votes off of him, he is a proven vote getter, and that Ablett and Fyfe would have won the medal if circumstances didn't affect them, it's not at all that surprising.

Well done Priddis!

 

[Rivanwarder]

He's a tool and his funny man act is cringeworthy.

Agreed came across as a douche

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

This is 100% why the umpires should NOT vote.

Make a panel of experts who debate the votes after the game not looking at stats etc... With the amount of technology we have now and how everyone in Australia can watch the game it is stupid to still have these maggots voting for the best award in Australia

(In before "but they are the closest to the game so they would know" idiotic argument)

 

[Hank Scorpion]

Which doesn't fit:

Goodes
Ablett
Judd
Swan
Bartel
Buckley
Hird
Voss
Priddis

Goodes, won AOTY too.

 

[Roosurgence]

Well give him the ripping bloke award. He's not close to the best player in the AFL. Not career wise, not 2014 wise.

100% spot on.

Good luck to the bloke, very good player, but hardly a match winner.

It defies logic to say that Matt Priddis had a better year than someone like Kennedy, Gray or Dangerfield.

 

[Rivanwarder]

I agree, with a bung knee, half a rib cage and a heavy tag, surely there was better?

There was better. No need for the question mark.

 

[Forward Press]

I've taken the liberty of merging about eight recent threads on Matt Priddis into one. Just like a Matt Priddis handball, there were too many ineffective ones.

Play on, folks.

 

[BEEG]

Might go to the Eagles board and bump the thread from mid year where they all wanted him dropped

Congrats to the bloke

 

[LordLucifer]

Danger looks like a good bloke too who likes a bit of fun and doesn't take himself too seriously.

Personality is a good thing.

Time & place ???

 

[TMoney22]

also have to consider West Coasts midfield. Its no secret its not their strength, he is their best by far. He'd be in their top 2 or 3 best players every game. So obviously he is going to get looked at.

 

[little graham]

There was better.

Priddis?

 

[Superstar swan]

When you factor in the fact that he didn't have anyone taking votes off of him, he is a proven vote getter, and that Ablett and Fyfe would have won the medal if circumstances didn't affect them, it's not at all that surprising.

Well done Priddis!

Very true, after Priddis, west coasts votes fell away dramatically.

 

[Hayes4PM]

No more jokes from me (...for tonight) congratulations Matt Priddis, a good, fair player.

 

[Stig_90]

Stop with the 'he can't kick' crap everyone. He was 18th for effective disposals league wide this season.

 

[LosBeatles]

Well done Priddis, great to see someone who came in through the WAFL win it

And for all the bagging of Woewodin he was amazing in the year he won it. Yes he was average every year before that and terrible afterwards but he had 1 fantastic year and since the brownlow is over 1 year that's enough to win it, so there.

 

[The Casey Cat]

He's not close to the best player in the AFL.

Doesn't necessarily have to be. Probably not as far off it as some here are making out either given he was #1 for disposals (doesn't run around looking for cheap ones either) and # for tackles for THIS YEAR.

 

[ep2018]

I think Fyfe will win in a canter next year.

 

[Baird]

Stop with the 'he can't kick' crap everyone. He was 18th for effective disposals league wide this season.

And he was 6th in the league for turners and had 52% kicking efficiency.
