Play Nice Derailed, (The Place to Continue Off-Topic Discussion)

The Copeland Trophy voting system

1. Each player is allocated one vote for each game in which he is selected to represent the Collingwood Football Club.

2. Up to 20 votes per game can be allocated to the best players as judged by the Collingwood Match Committee. Votes are awarded based on the average vote of all members of the Match Committee.

3. In the event that two or more players finish with the same number of votes then the player who has played in the least amount of games takes the higher position. If these players have played the same number of games then the player who has polled the greater number of “high value” votes will take the higher position.

Just checked, up until 2017 it was the match committee.

The last 2 seasons it switched to the coaches. You learn something new every day I guess. I actually could have sworn it was the players for some reason but I must be getting that mixed up with a different award altogether.

I didn't know that either. Would have guessed match committee but didn't know players had a say too.

Maybe he’s named after the Park that Millane and Morwood grew up in.

I played junior footy against Noble Park. They scared the shot out of you more than anyone in the area.

You obviously never played against Doveton then.

 

[sirlothie]

I did, the DDJFL. I played against Fevola at Barre and the Lonie's too. Someone had a reputation too but Noble had thugs. This is in the 80s, even junior footy had snipers and they had a few Maoris too which made us feel like little boys we were.

 

[sirlothie]

Narre I mean. I played for Cranbourne.

 

[sirlothie]

Don't want to piss in own pocket but might have won a couple of McDonald's encouragement awards lol.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

I played for Dingley In the long gone south west Gippsland league.... the most suburban club in that compAll the rest were further east..... narre, cranny, Berwick, and the epically named ROC were all in that league. Doveton were the meanest! ( I never played for or against noble park my local team)

 

[jmac70]

It suits your argument.

No, it’s a fact. He was judged by the coaches as being our sixth best player over the course of the season.

 

[wicksy]

And?

The coaches rate lots of players I don't. Like Langdon, like Reid. But then clearly don't rate players I do, like Daicos. What's your point? I was asked why I don't **** on Will Hoskin-Elliott and I explained why.

Wait... You don't rate Langdon?

Wow.

What years was it roughly? I think the league changed while i was playing but i started in under 9's when I was 7 in 1987 up until under 16 in 1996.

I played against pretty much the same teams so I'm thinking the name of the league just changed. Also played against Hampton Park, Endeavour Hills, Devon Meadows I think... not Dingley though.

There's a difference between being 6th best player for the season and 6th best player on the list.

Late 70’s . Other teams were Hallam ( in juniors they were narre-Hallam and then in seniors they were two seperate clubs), Chelsea heights, and our local rivals Keysborough. Not endeavour hills but the others you mentioned were in the league . Might have been one or two more.

Yeah Hallam were in it and Keysborough. They must have just renamed the league and redrew the boundaries a little bit and Dingley moved into more south east region where they belong. It would have been a hike for you every second week, they are better off playing Highett, Cheltenham, Mentone like they do now... Dingley is a bit of an outlier in that region, too rich for our blood lol.

Mossgeil Park were another one definitely in it and maybe Beaconsfield, kind of remember them maybe being in it.

Coodabeans - I think he loved Craig Starcevich.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

And you?
Were you drunk when you created your Bigfooty account?

Timmy was a fake caller in to the Coodabeen Champions for many years , like Digger, Massive Merv, Peter from Peterborough, Ivan from Ivanhoe, and Cliff from Clematis.

What was Timmy's schtick that made you like him?

The name Digger was already taken. Simples.

I never said he was our sixth best player. I used his Copeland trophy finish last season to illustrate he is an important player, and is highly rated by the club.

Can Craig Starcevich win the Brownlow?

I think you’ll find Timmy, he hasn’t played enough games this season.

Timmy was pretty close with his Norm Smith prediction.

He was just about best on ground for the quarter and a half he was on the ground (came on after Daniher knocked Brown out,and starred right up until when he himself was knocked out by the same bloke!!!!)
