You'd think a Fremantle fan would appreciate the bigger picture that Scott is fighting for as you would be one of the clubs the most disadvantaged (remember 2015??) by the GF being locked into the MCG for the next 50 years. He called the decision a 'travesty' and he's the only coach who's putting any pressure on the AFL and calling them out for their lack of integrity and highlighting how unjust their decisions have been, especially to interstate clubs like yours. A team that finishes 1st shouldn't have to play at the 4th best teams home ground, and an interstate side shouldn't have to play a grand final at the MCG every single year just 'because'. You can call him a whinger if you want, but next time you're getting flogged in a grand final by a MCG tenant who did absolutely nothing to earn that home ground advantage, just have a think about how much of a fight YOUR club is putting up to make things fairer.SCARY SCOTT SCREAMS AGAIN!
Cats coach Chris Scott called the decision to award Marcus Bontempelli the AFLCA 'really, really, really, UNFAIR!'
Sooky Scott stamped his feet while whingeing about Paddy Dangerfield being disadvantaged because he doesn't have, 'long hair and a big nose.'
'Paddy just looks a bit pink and weird, you can easily miss him on the field. It helps because they seem to miss how often he shanks it, but it is just really, really, really UNFAIR!!'
It was reported at training that Paddy, Gaz, Joel, Tomahawk and Chris formed a circle of complaint where they each gestured wildly and complained about unfair treatment.
What the hell is wrong with the Bulldogs?
Their midfield is stacked with McCrae, Bont, Hunter, Dunkley and Libba. Do they just have glaring deficiencies everywhere else?
NoHas Scott complained yet about it not being Dangerfield?
Thanks for your intelligent and considered post Chris.You'd think a Fremantle fan would appreciate the bigger picture that Scott is fighting for as you would be one of the clubs the most disadvantaged (remember 2015??) by the GF being locked into the MCG for the next 50 years.

And well done Bont
AFLCA is voted by the coaches, who know the most about the game.
Despite the narrative, anyone who is a senior coach knows the game.Bolton, Lyon, Richardson, Goodwin and Pyke all voted.
Chris Scott never mentioned Geelong's easy drawYou'd think a Fremantle fan would appreciate the bigger picture that Scott is fighting for as you would be one of the clubs the most disadvantaged (remember 2015??) by the GF being locked into the MCG for the next 50 years.

Because the Brisbane guy had a better season that year.Still not good enough to get the rising star award...
That went to some guy from Brisbane who's about to be delisted.....
In round 23 the Bulldogs fielded the youngest side out of any team.We will field the youngest team of the 8 finalists so we've made the pointy end of the season in what was essentially a development year.
This award is voted on by the coaches and is really the only one that matters.
I have never seen a more dominant Bulldogs player.
Is the 22under22 team a thing?Few players can exert their influence on a game as many ways as Bont. Has the ability to crash and bash inside, find space and time at traffic, make the perfect decision with the ball, deliver damaging, lace out kicks all over the field and take contested marks at both ends.
The inside/outside arsenal was on full display at the weekend, with 16 CPs, 10 tackles and 7 clearances rounded off by his goal on his non-preferred after juking to his left and faking out the defender and his pinpoint, daisy cutting passes to leading forwards (the 30-40m pass to English that was never more than 4 feet off the ground... be still my beating heart).
Stoked I get to watch this bloke in the red, white & blue every week and can’t believe what he’s been able to achieve already despite only just starting to hit his peak years.

What's a neutral ground? Alice Springs, Darwin Cairns and the like.Thanks for your intelligent and considered post Chris.
If we were to make another granny we'd happily play anywhere.
Shall we talk about how Geelong should have a Cost of Living discount? Much easier to keep players when house prices are significantly cheaper than an hour down the road.
Or, how if you played majority of your home games at a neutral venue you likely wouldnt have finished top 4?
Is it bad I think Macrae is better?

Well there you go, I thought it was just a bigfooty shit fight discussion topic.Yeah it’s an annual team of the best 22 players in the AFL aged 22 and under.
