They do love their made up criteria that never existed before but works for them in a very specific case then never again

Like Buddy 2018 AA Captain?
 
Ahhh why am I not surprised. In fact the only surprise was that it was another random kid from a Vic club and not Lindsay that got the nod.
 
I've watched a lot of this game and I can tell you this kid moves the right way. It's hard to elaborate, but sometimes you can watch someone with ball in hand and tell instantly if they're going to make it.

The fact he has a tank already is extremely positive and with some kgs that comes naturally we have a star on our hands. Love the kid!!

I know what you mean. If his trajectory continues this way, I see him as one of the best in the comp at some stage in his career...he's been that impressive. I hope we as fans are aware that as a young player he's not always going to put a shift like that in...but damn...it's so nice to see a classy, skillful, high possession goal kicking winger in our side after years of sacrificial running and "the gimp wing".

Now, who makes the other wing their own I wonder?

Harvey Johnston

Just as talented as Tyrell and can kick off both feet
 
And just having someone looking to be a weapon on the wing instead of guarding space is bloody refreshing.

Loved Simmo, but the wing became an absolute elephants' graveyard by the end of his stint.
The wings under simmo were for guarding space or for Darling to provide an outlet kick from defence which would inevitably be lost or punched out of bounds
 
I wasn't even joking about him being too obscure. I don't think his name would even be on their list. It won't be until some fans or media personalities fire up and mention him that it will make them take notice. Then they will probably feel bad and give him a pity nomination for an average game.
This is 100% how they operate.

They would just have a handful they watch then hear about others and if they start putting together a few good games they throw in a late nomination.

Not sure on the stats but I'd say most RS winners are nominated from the first half of season (may be wrong)

Scotty Cummings wins Coleman but they give AA FF to Lloyd coz Cumming wasnt suited to International Rules is the WORST one I've ever seen.

Literally still makes me boil and since that day the AA side means nothing to me

Just goes to show what potentially could've been if Simmo wasn't stubborn with his gimp wing for years and years and years.

Can't recall the last time we had a wingman come out with this level of impact and scoreboard damage in a game before.

Would Chesser have turned out the same? Greg Clark? Brayden? Who even knows.


All i know is Dewar is a lord :crown:
 
Had 6 kicks for 200m gained in the third when we had 7 scoring shots but yes unsighted in the last when the Lions had 57% of time in possession compared to our 27%.

I can see how AFL would trawl through for something to justify awarding it elsewhere, but if Tyrell keeps up this form and the Twitter campaign kicks off they won't have much choice.
And he will probably get that RS Nom in a lesser game knowing the experts who pick it.
 
could have easily kicked 4 v Brisbane. One was off the side of the boot but the one that Andrews touched over the line only needed an extra metre on the kick
