Each team will nominate three players. Bulldogs haven't nominated yet.

Who do you nominate from the Dogs.

I will go:

Caleb
Bont
Macrea

FYI the nominations are voted for by the players - Cripps teammates don't rate him!

No Jake Stringer?

Interesting that Dangerfield missed out as well. If Martin misses out the Ch7 commentary team won't know where to put themselves.

They definitely won't know the names of any other players nominated. Doesn't matter they will just say that Dangerfield was nominated and leave it at that.

I'd say Caleb, Bont and Wallis just to be a bit different. I think the three of them, plus Macrae, should be in the AA squad. Crozier and Libba would be my next in line.

Libba's an interesting one. Couldn't not have him, but probably not prolific enough to put him into this sort of listing.

If he/ we win another flag he'll be the quintessential player you couldn't have done it without, but not in the top echelon of the team.

With that in mind a decent topic for a thread would be who are the best second tier players in the competition? Might start that up.

Staggering that Geelong players voted in Guthrie and Menegola.
I don't have much love for Danger....but come on...

Ridiculous really. Maybe Danger is not that popular in sleepy hollow.

Pretty sure Patrick Dangerfield's biggest fan is Patrick Dangerfield.

Shai Bolton. Not surprised, he is something else that kid. Credit to Tigers' recruiters.

Yeah, not drafting him when we had the pick before definitely stings.

Kudos to Saints trading, all 3 players were brought in from other clubs. Doesn't say much about their drafting though.

Liam Ryan at West Coast ? Seriously , kid can play but hardly a most valuable player when you look at the list they have.
This award seems to be more valuable looking at players who aren’t listed than are.
Gives you an insight on how bad the media are too I guess, huge difference between players and them on who the real influences are in teams.

Except round 1! Interesting signs a 7 year deal and appears to have flopped in year 1.

I'm not sure poor is a fair assessment. As the season has gone on he hasn't preformed to his usual high standards but is still one of the premier ruckmen going around.

Yes but you can see how easily it would be to confuse them with Caleb Serong and Dane Rampe. I know Chubhub and 8ean are obvious assumptions for the awards but some of us only know dogs players.

Good on him, he's also favourite for the rising star. He's a local lad, played cricket with his old man and uncles.

Jott Pundlboy? He had a great year but Pendlebury was a bit stiff I would have thought. Also I thought Jott was demoted as captain after a night out on the town.

Edit: apologies I just realised Jott got best Optain. That makes sense.

This is interesting for a 24 year old captain:

51 votes for the guy who tried to tank the whole year so no one would realise he’s a finished loser who sucks and was never any good? What a leader of men he is.
