Who really deserved the Michael Tuck medal???

Personally I think Bode, Goodwin or Stenglein deserved that medal.
I mean, Mcleod was good, but not as good as these others.

 

[kretchy]

I thought McLeod was fair enough not the most possessions he's ever had but what he did with him was what put him above the rest.

 

[Nic]

I'd have gone with Mcleod just over Goodwin, personally.

Mcleod had flashes of brilliance but others were better than him. Seemed they just gave it to him for the sake of it.
I thought Bode and Stenglien played better....as did Reilly until getting hammered and taken off.

Biglands.

He didn't waste a possesion and made the pies pay with every touch. I thought Bode and McLeod were line ball but McLeod was more flashy than Bode which won it for him at the end.

Our rucks creamed then. How good is Reilly going to be?????? Fair Dinkum, this kid is a star in the making.

For a 1st real hitout in 12 months Carey was good especially in 4th quarter.

I was really impressed with him. I was really proud of the fact that he got straight back up and took the kick.

Anyone who thinks we have lost something in the middle now that Kane Johnson has gone can think again.

That was courage personified. And he came back on too. This kid is a star in the making

Heaven forbid, but I agree with Nick. I sure as hell would like Biglands running around in red and black!

have to agree with you there even though mcleod always does the work to deserve something like that.

but if tarrant never knocked out reilly like that he for sure would have given mcleod a run for his money.

 

[Damp Squarie]

McLeod...COOL under pressure, will always be a big game player and I thought he showed it tonite. Clarke or Biglands were probably what set us up.

 

[LionsForever]

Andrew McLeod was a deserving winner.

 

[campbell]

Bode, he was everywhere.Macleod was flashy.I liked that new kid, Reilly.

 

[eagleskickass]

I myself would have gone with Biglands, but having said that McCleoud would have been my second pick so its fair enough

Agreed, Edwards was salt and pepper, in everything, magnificent vision that boy.

Yes they missed him in the PF.
But Mcleod stood up when the game was there to be won, just like Vossy.

 

[Energiser Bunny]

Why didn't they just give it to Buckley as a consolation prize like they did the Norm Smith Medal in the Grand Final last year. Everyone knows Voss was the better player then. Eddie mustn't have used his wallet this time.

 

[sawf]

far out the bunny beat me to it. maybe nafan declined the offer this time.

Totally agree - courageous stuff from the kid - in contrast had to laugh at Dudak when he got a little love tap - commentators were saying "he hasn't moved" as if he was knocked out cold, but alas, it was merely Collingwood attempting to bluff the umpires as per - Mick has taught them all well

as if!! Look at his opposition ruckmen ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

For me Reilly was BOG until being crudely wacked by Tarrant. Pies have started a tradition of taking out our best player. McLeod was probably our most damaging & inspirational player, but Bode the most consistent over 4 quarters. Who cares any way as we won!!!

 

[crazed_crow]

personally, thought it was going to be bodey, but macca did a great job aswell

Agree with the above summary Kane. Reilly is going to be a gun and was well in the running for BOG until clouted around the head by Tarrant.

Bode was excellent - worked his ass off, and played a great game.

But McLeod!!! I'm watching the replay on Fox at the moment. He was BOG!!! As Gary Lyon said at half time Macca had 12 disposals up to half time and each one was sheer pain to the opposition. Class, class, class!!
