Daicos was literally the only reason we didn’t win by 100 comfortably in the best few on the ground and if you are getting 37 and 1.1 you are getting votes. Gulden probably gets the 1, more likely than a rowbottom type.
And yet the cries of “WHO?!?” and “another reach!!!!” were heard long and loud on the draft night thread.
I’m sure there was even the odd reference to skinny flankers made on that fateful night.
Are you in Greece as a land trip or part of a cruise, #Jewelson? We did Greece and 4 of the islands back in 2015 and will be doing another Med cruise in July. As good as that will be, it means I'll miss 5 Swans games.You f#####g beauty!!!!!
I didn't think we had a hope in all honesty. Still in Greece and just wandering around the Acropolis when my daughter sent me message - just a screen shot of the final score!!!
Again I say, I freaking love this team
If we lose in two weeks when I'm home again, I'd better come back to Greece for the rest of the season!
If anyone was saying those things, they weren't paying attention to any draft analysis beforehand. He slid to us, rather than we reached.
I of course was unhappy because we selected 3 mids first up and no KPP. Wasn't really anything personal about Roberts, because he was highly rated (at least in the media / draft analyst sources).

Wow 5 games!!! That's a BIG cruise, but will be terrific.Are you in Greece as a land trip or part of a cruise, #Jewelson? We did Greece and 4 of the islands back in 2015 and will be doing another Med cruise in July. As good as that will be, it means I'll miss 5 Swans games.
What ship are you on? If they have sport24 on the cabin television you may catch the games.
They were all on ours for opening round but unfortunately I didn't know until the GWS v Collingwood games so missed our game and the cruise ended on Friday morning so I haven't seen this week's either.
We did a 12 day cruise around the mainland, now coming to the end of a week in Athens where we did a bit of island hopping.
Off again in three weeks though, back to Japan on Golden Princess. I'm hoping as they are now a sponsor I will be able to watch the games.

Apologies if this has already been asked, but does anyone know where one could find the SEN call of this game? If it's available, that is.
No doubt one thing that will be highlighted at training will be that the big boys need to use their voice when about to take an uncontested mark. Having Campbell spoil McCartin followed a few minutes later with Haywood doing the same thing to McDonald. Surely these guys were taught in their younger days to yell out "mine" when about to take these marks.
Very noisy in there Friday night
I place more prestige on coaches award and the AFLPA award than the Brownlow these days.

The only way Heeney could ever hope to win a Brownlow is if he keeps playing in the middle.

There's a foolproof way to predict the Brownlow Medallist...
1. Identify the top 5 players in the competition.
2. Eliminate them from consideration.
3. Identify the top 6-15 players in the competition.
4. Eliminate the most damaging, impactful player of those 10 from consideration.
5. Identify the highest Fantasy scorer of the remaining 9 players.
There's your Brownlow Medallist.

That's a bit tough on Neale who is clearly the most influential player on a pretty decent team.
He couldn't have as he gave Heeney 5. Most likely event is that he gave Daicos 4 and Horse gave him 1
I suspect not. I think Longmire was more likely to have given him 4 than McRae.
But I think it more likely still that Daicos was a 2/3 (either way around). I reckon Rowie was probably 4 (Longmire)/1 McRae because we know Horse loves what James does.
Getting him at pick 34 has obviously been a bonus. Him at 34 and Gulden at 32. A couple of handy selections.
After the comments were made about him prior to the game I took notice of his decisions. I thought we actually did quite well with him.
We have more winners than anyone , so that is disrespectful
How could Logan possibly be considered for votes. 3 of his 4 goals were given to him solely by being on his own. It was the cheapest 4 goal haul I've ever seen.
Took the most marks for us , would you say that if it was Plugger or Buddy
Most probably.
Not on the ship the whole time. Doing a bus tour through Germany and Austria and then a few days in each of Lucerne, Lake Como, Nice and Barcelona before a 14 night cruise on Queen Elizabeth. I know, life's a bitch, isn't it.
The AFLPA award is the biggest joke award of all time. Players are asked to vote who the best player of the year is when very few of them watch any games at all. Hence, they make their decision based mainly on what they read in the media.
And he wasn't very high in fantasy/Supercoach anyway.
That is irrelevant. Can't possibly say he played great because he kicked 4 goals as 3 of them were Joe Magooses. I would have at least 10 players ranked higher than McDonald.
