ohhh that really sucks
Will Graham? Lol.
Timely reminder that most of these afl awards don’t mean much, selected by people who who aren’t really clued in. The mid year AA meeting was a good indication of such also.
We know what we’ve got

they both got an AF of 73 but Graham got a goal - I think so many of these things go by stats aloneWill Graham? Lol.

That's actually some complete horseshit - yeah it means nothing but it just highlights it's all a load of rubbish and made up

No, not fair enough. It's complete garbage.
Draper had a bigger body of work and a better game on the weekend. He even got a coaches vote.

Yep, pretty much this.
the AFL page on Facebook is going off about it, which would also make Graham feel bad for something he has no control over. Maybe they should have made an exception and put both of them up.
Why?
Graham had 22 disposals as a midfielder and 6 were clangers ffs. Draper had 14 as a key defender with only 1 clanger and won us the game. He has already been shafted two games ago with a very similar performance, Graham can wait his turn like Draper has been.

The VFA most likely
yes, but Graham didn't ask to be rewarded and now he is pretty much being booed on social media - he's just a kid
there were some dubious decisions made last year as well, but this one really stands out

None of this matters anyway as he still has the best cheekbones in the AFL. Onya Drapes.
he has the respect of his supporters and team mates
I think it was Johnson last year who had an awesome game and got no RS, then had an average game and got the RS
When did it start becoming for the player with the best "body of work" vs the player who put up the best performance that weekend? It's not like his games have been so great that he deserves a body of work nom. Should only come into play when there's no outstanding performance of the round.
We literally won that game because of Draper's performance. Graham wasn't even among gold coast's best.
That is on the decision makers, not on Graham or Draper. Be better at their jobs and no one complains.
Surpised they didn't watch Freo v Swans if they are selectors or read numerous articles highlighting how good he was or watch the interview he gave after the game or look at coaches votes. These are just some of the things they can use to see that maybe the clanger kid with slightly higher midfield numbers isn't the correct call.
I don't think Brayshaw ever had a standout performance to warrant one though. He was on track to get it in the Derby, though. That was his first stand out game of the year.
Freo media team also flummoxed.
I'm guessing they are Victorians who only rate a team that beats Collingwood
I saw this on Facebook and wondered if that was their plan
That's the point. At the end of the year, players who get pipped in earlier weeks due to another outstanding game at the same time get rewarded off soft games for their body of work. Drapers is better anyway as his stats are key defender stats, not a midfielder ones and he has played more games.
Exactly. There’s 8 more weeks to give out body of work noms. Draper had a standout game that made a lot of the AFL world stand up and take notice. Well, all of the AFL world except those clowns that give out these things.
