Clayton Oliver advances to the next round. Lynden Dunn has been eliminated.

I never knew Lynden Dunn was so widely admired amongst non-mfc supporters.

I swear there's been more Collingwood fans on our board than Melbourne fans recently. Even had a handful of reports lodged by Collingwood fans on here the other day

Anyway, not sure why they would bother voting in a visible poll, it's pretty easy to just remove them from the results. But go off, I guess.

Pretty sure Steven May will win this whole thing.

Like Melbourne should have this year, of course - should have smashed them.

Bit more of an interesting matchup, this one. Johnstone for me, though - my word, he could kick the ball.

Great match up. Two high draft picks who turned into solid contributors without ever reaching the potential their pick suggested.

Going to go with Brayshaw purely for Grand Final heroics.

 

[Headless]

The B&F nudged it to Johnstone to me but I can understand Brayshaw votes for sure.

Brayshaw probably the more consistent contributor, but Johnstone had more memorable games (i.e. 25 & 4 in the SF against Adelaide and 42 [35 kicks] against Carlton in his last game for us). At full flight, he was brilliant.

Genuinely one of my favourite ever to watch, Johnstone. Looked so easy at times.

 

[Topkent]

Has to be TJ
I'm paying money to watch him play. I'm not paying money to watch Gus play ever.

 

[Headless]

Clayton Oliver advances to the next round. Lynden Dunn has been eliminated.

Wait - Topkent has disagreed. Could there be a RECOUNT?

I think Johnstone's best was better but Gus is more consistent and was willing to sacrifice his role for the team so he gets some brownie points.

Its very tough.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Im going Gus just coz of his grand final.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

All my points had been made by Legs and Scythe.

WHY DIDNT SOMEONE TELL ME BEFORE I POSTED? WHY?

I think the sticky is getting it lost in the shuffle honestly coz a lot of the other sticky threads aren't relevant to current discussion so people dont look at that part of the forum

was a lazy prick, **** that guy.

 

[SugarHealey]

Gawn will be spoken about as a top-five ruck of all-time once he's done, and potentially even higher.

If it isn't Gawn, I will spew all over the rest of em.

Oh, and bring back Roosy.

Excellent points, well made too

Ah TJ, when our drug problems were just stoners smoking cones.
