They pick also love picking a heap of KPF’s and no small forwards as well as 2-3 full backs and the rest rebounding defenders.
It’s far away from who’d they’d pick if they had to play an actual game.

I think it means the most. Coaches know what hurts and what doesn't hurt better than most, certainly better than the Brownlow and though not as well rated as the MVP it is more important. The players will tend to follow the leader and many don't really care about the votes they put in, and that's coming straight from multiple players.

best player in the comp and has been for many years.
Players MVP is also a ‘vibe’ award. It’s not based on actual performance during the year as it isn’t voted week by week and a lot of players will admit they don’t watch much footy. Its actually not an award I put much stock in at all.
Brownlow has its place with history but coaches association is the best reflection on who has been the best performed player of the year

Would most likely have won it as well as the Brownlow last year if not for injury.
Crazy to think how good he is given how young he is and how much growth and improvement he has left in him.

Scrimshaw and Impey weren't even mentioned in the most the the discussions about possibilities for the squads... Both have been excellent. Given we don't have any key position backs and our defence is holding up so well, someone must be playing well?
They only look good because of their team mates

I know the balance of the AA team is always bad but it feels even worse this year.
One lockdown defender, one who occasionally goes near his opponent but prefers to play loose, and 4 who are too busy playing kick to kick with teammates to even bother looking for an opponent to pick up with one more on the bench.
Also having 3 tall forwards compared to one small forward, as well as having 9 inside mids.

MVP reflects who the players respect
Congrats Dylan. Would have been great if Mass could have joined him.

Champion Data had Daicos spending 31 minutes on the wing this year lmao

Unsurprisingly another joke of an all Australian team… it loses credibility more and more each year..
- Daicos never played wing - absolutely laughable- just put him on the bench and put Whitfield half back and sack Ryan for Massimo
- Luke Ryan in the team for taking the kick outs and chipping it around the backline all year is bad- and he didn’t do much at all 2nd half of the year
- Blakey started the year well but fell away big time- very lucky to make it
- Moore never played forward pocket- is a high half forward and Heeney and Warner are midfielders
- West coast with two all Australians is woeful
- McGovern over Andrews is bewildering
- Waterman had a couple of big games but also fell away big time
- How the hell does Jeremy Cameron make it- Geelong dick kissed as usual - gets in based off kicking 9 junk goals against a listless west coast in the last game- he was nowhere near it before that

The concerns for me:
- Luke Ryan back pocket - when he's good he's really good, but he got worked out about 2/3 of the way into the season
- Jake Waterman no. Just no. Either put Stengle for a genuine small, or put Curnow.
- Daicos on the ball instead of Serong
- **** Blakey off and put Sicily there. Every single team in the comp would prefer Sicily's 2024 season to Blakey's.
- Gawn - I just don't like him tbh.
- Wing should be Merrett or Dambrosio. Merrett didn't play there much this season but he still plays a lot like a winger when he's centre square mid
- didn't think McGovern had an AA year
- Chad warner is not a HFF. at all. Just get rid of him
