The way the footy media has rallied around Melbourne and at the expense of Petracca the last few days really turns the stomach

I feel more people are rallying around petracca tbh. The heat is well and truly on Melbourne

People, yes. People in the media, no.

Read any of Damian Barrett's utter horseshit on the matter? If not I envy you.

Wait there's a Gary Ayers Medal as well for the best player across the finals? lol how many more useless awards can we come up with and name after every Victorian that ever lived.

and yet Daniel Frawley still doesn't have one. AFL missed a massive chance by not making 'the golden fist' an official defenders award, or a Daniel Frawley best defender medal.

JBC - There are too many pointless awards named after Victorian footballers.

Boydy Jnr - Here is an idea for another pointless award and here's a Victorian footballer that it can be named after.

The Dogs vs Hawks EF being spruiked as the box-office draw of the finals tells you all you need to know about the league. They'll lose their minds with 2 PFs outside of Victoria or a non-Vic GF.

There should be a Mr. September Medal named after Jed McEntee

Is Frank Seal an AI bot? Sounds like it.

The John Dorotich Medal - the biggest w***er in the finals series

 

[JimmyBC]

The Razor Ray Medal for best umpire in the finals series

 

[bomberclifford]

The GAblett Snr Shield - for the most outrageous use of religious fervour to distract from past sins

 

[bomberclifford]

The Dew Lockett Cup - for the fattest fukc to play in a grand final.

Disagree. I think this is the most exciting final of the weekend as well. Hawks have just gained so much hype over the back half of this year. It is insane what they are doing.

 

[FishingRick04]

What players who played for a non Vic club should have a medal?

Don Pyke?
Glen Jacovich?
Mcleod
Wangas
Paul Kelly

 

[JimmyBC]

I reckon the Dogs are likely to burst the Hawthorn bubble emphatically tbh

If they can name medals after the ghosts of the VFL days of yore there's no reason why WAFL & SANFL legends can't have AFL awards named after them.

Seems to me that the narrative by the Vic media is that the Dogs are premiership favourites and by some considerable margin. Just hope the umpires don't join the party during this finals series like they did in 2016.

Derek Kickett medal - player inexplicably dropped for a GF
Bob Murphy medal - injured captain of the winning team, must gatecrash the dais to be eligible
Braden Maynard medal - player who should've been suspended but cleared through some legal loophole

 

[NoddyHolder]

A new medal for the premiership captain on GF day lol

Sydney have about 4 captains don't they? If they win would they have to cut it into quarters, or give out 4 of them?

I agree but won’t happen, those players of the past aren’t respected.

Nathan Bourke on ABC radio summed it up. A caller who challenged the panel by saying it’s not the VfL anymore and it should become more current and VfL ties pushed back like other states.

He said players came for a season or two were legends of their leagues but couldn’t make it in the big league. I’m assuming he may have been referring to a Cornes and Ebert.

Great, more awards exclusively for Victorians.
