Re:Brennan - Best on Gound Reply to this message
no I'm not saying that - just pointing out that different sections of the footy fraternity see the votes differently.

...anyway Brennan was BOG for sure.

"...adhered to match plans and be knocked down in umpire votes accordingly."

should read coaches votes

So what you are saying fitzroy is that "Brennan is not playing to the plan" thus losing the respect of the coach and earning the coaches votes??

Re:Brennan - Best on Gound Reply to this message
Erik I wasnt talking about players that have a good one but the coach is holding back praise looking for more consistency. Travis Johnstone is an example. He has been great but Lethal is saying he wants more. He isn’t paying compliments.

But you make a good point. The media will give votes to someone who makes an impact but the player may not of completely adhered to match plans and be knocked down in umpire votes accordingly.

"they dont give votes to those who deserve"

probably cos they didn't do what they were supposed to do and therefore DON'T deserve and may likely end up in the reserves if they keep ignoring coaches instructions and do their own thing

Re:Brennan - Best on Gound Reply to this message
no - just that coaches view things differently. They will give votes to blokes who doesnt get a kick but plays to a plan - or they dont give votes to those who deserve cos they are sending a message etc etc

brat - coaches votes ? They are one view I suppose but just one of many areas that give awards - the coaches are very often out of whack with the media, umps and AFLPA MVP...

scarpi - u will notice that if you look at how tweedle dee and tweedle dum type you can just about change 2 to 3 words (usually a players name from one club to another from another club) and you would end up with something the other would have written half an hour earlier

Re:Brennan - Best on Gound Reply to this message
minor votes? The best on ground got a total of 5 votes from the coaches. The coaches pick 5 players with votes from 5-1, so obviously each coach saw a different BOG.
Corey, Scarlett and Mackie 5 votes; Notting 4; MacDonald and Kelly 3; Wojcinski and Brennan 2; Patfull 1.
At least 6 players seen as being more influential then him on the ground.

And do Pavlich and Richo not deserve their BOG since they played in losing sides, should they give them points back to the winning team.

If Brennan was BOG he would have got the pts, bet he does get any Brownlow votes for the match.

Re:Brennan - Best on Gound Reply to this message
That's a HUGE movement in the Brownlow market scarpi. I have checked up to be sure and yes, Richo has been shortened from $401 to $9.00. WOW, that's a huge move and so early in the season.

If he continues to play like he has and there is nothing to suggest that he won't, then he for sure will take tossing. He's polled plenty of 3's already and punters have now followed with their wallets.

brat - the media seemed to see it my way - as I said BOG is subjective - and is often influenced by who wins...believe me - if we had have won Jared Cats players would have found themselves at the minor votes.

Re:Brennan - Best on Gound Reply to this message
But the coaches didn't see it that way - Corey was the highest vote getter from the match with 5.
So Brennan's performance obviously only impressed you and not many others.

Re:Brennan - Best on Gound Reply to this message
but then again ben cousins and buddy franklin have by far gathered more possessions between themselves than all 16 clubs combined and what makes it even greater is none of their possessions occured on the footy field
