Who Will Win The 2008 Charlie Sutton Medal

[Scraggers]

This may be a bit early, but it is a topic of much debate between my friends and myself ...

Can Griffen knock off Cooney for the Charlie Sutton Medal or is Adam a dead set cert. ??

Or ... is there another player this season that could take home the Sutton Medal

What do Woofers think?

[Cyberdoggie]

Hard to judge,

Remember it's not like the brownlow,
Defenders have just as much a chance as a midfielder.

Brian Lake won it last year so who knows.

[The Doctor]

1. Cooney
2. Cross
3. Morris

[Go_Dogs]

1. Cooney
2. Cross
3. Giansiracusa

Is my guess.

Don't think Griff has done enough this year to win it.

Akermanis could also poll pretty well, as will Murphy, Hargrave, Boyd etc.

[bornadog]

According to Gia, yesterday, he has his money on Cross.

[Scorlibo]

1: Cross
2: Cooney
3: Akermanis
4: Gia
5: Murphy

[Bulldog Revolution]

Hopefully there is two very important games to go that play a huge role in deciding it

[cinder]

1. Griffin
2. Cooney
3. Cross

[Scorlibo]

Can Griffen knock off Cooney for the Charlie Sutton Medal??

Griff is no chance. Pretty good year, but not a chance in hell of winning.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

1. Cross
2. Cooney
3. Guido
4 Morris
5. Murphy

Daniel Cross

[LostDoggy]

Yeah it will either be out of Daniel Cross or Adam Cooney, wouldnt suprise me to see Shaggy right up there as well.

[BulldogBelle]

l will second that.

[Scorlibo]

Thirded

[LostDoggy]

What voting system do they use for this?

[LostDoggy]

I expect Adam Cooney to take home the chocolates.

Throw a blanket over Gia, Shags, Cross & Morris for 2nd and 3rd.

[dadsgirl16]

I am not sure of the voting system either but I would think Coons has it covered

[LostDoggy]

1. Cross
2. Morris
3. Cooney
4, Murphy
5. Griffin

[Sockeye Salmon]

What voting system do they use for this?

I have a feeling they might have changed it recently, but up until a few years ago each player was given votes along the lines of:

0 votes = was beaten by his opponent
1 vote = broke even with his opponent
2 votes = beat his opponent
3 votes = beat his opponent and was a key factor in the end result
4 votes = outstanding game

I notice last year that Brian Lake won with over 100 votes so they either have multiple people giving votes or they have changed the system.

[LostDoggy]

Yeah i think all the coaches at the club vote dont they?

[Bumper Bulldogs]

For me it will be morris, hardy beaten all year and the leadership shown down back will poll him 1 vote ahead of the coon dog.

[westdog54]

I've got him covered! :D

I think you'll find Dalesgirl will dispute that TCD

[The Underdog]

I think you'll find Dalesgirl will dispute that TCD

Apparently she's got him covered and she's not letting him escape this time.

[G-Mo77]

1. Cross
2. Cooney
3. Morris
4. Murphy
5. Boyd

I wouldn't be surprised if Morris wins the whole thing! Hope he does.

[Sedat]

Throw the blanket over Hargy, Cross, Morris, Boyd and Coons.

[western cookie]

Cooney or Cross from Morris. Shaggy and Murph to round out the top 5.

[The Coon Dog]

In accordance with rule 19 The Coon Dog casts his votes at the conclusion of each match & awards votes to the 5 players he considers to be the fairest & best (well, just best). These votes are then sealed & only opened at the conclusion of the season.

The votes have been opened & I'm shocked! Not so much with Crossy winning in my votes, but Coooooons finishing equal 4th. I thought he would have been closer to winning to be honest, but that's how I saw it.

Last year I actually had Matthew Boyd & Brian Harris (as he was then) coming equal first.

Here are my top 10.


1. 47 - D. Cross
2. 43 - L. Gilbee
3. 34 - R. Murphy
4. 29 - D. Giansiracusa
4. 29 - A. Cooney
6. 24 - M. Boyd
7. 21 - J. Akermanis
8. 21 - D. Morris
9. 20 - R. Griffen
10. 16 - M. Hahn

Crossy has had a wonderful year, but I would disagree with Cooney and Griff being so far behind the leaders ... Anyway, we'll see how close you are after the presentations

[strebla]

1 Cooney
2 Lake
3 Morris

[bornadog]

1 Cooney
2 Lake
3 Morris

Better win now:D

[KT31]

1 Cooney
2 Morris
3 Gia

[Scraggers]

Does a Brownlow win guarantee you a Charlie Sutton Medal ???

[Sockeye Salmon]

Does a Brownlow win guarantee you a Charlie Sutton Medal ???

Tony McGuinness won the year Libba won the Brownlow. Libba won the B & F the following year.

[KT31]

I do appologise to Cross.
Change my prediction to

1 Cooney
2 Cross
3 Morris and Gia

[Raw Toast]

I reckon Shaggy will win it from Cooney and Morris, with Hudson a big chance to be leading around the half-way mark.

TCd, I think the one glaring omission is Shaggy.

[LostDoggy]

I've got him covered! :D

Someone has a very, very high opinion of himself :p

I think Cooney will win it, ahead of Cross, Morris or maybe even Hargrave.

[LostDoggy]

1 Coooooooooooooooooooooooooon
2 Morris
3 Cross
4 Lake
5 Shaggy
6 Griffin

[The Coon Dog]

TCd, I think the one glaring omission is Shaggy.
Had him 11th.

[LostDoggy]

When is it?

[LostDoggy]

It will be a great one this year. Tickets still available?

[gohardorgohome]

Here is my suggestion

1. Cross
2. Cooney
3. Morris
4. Lake
5. Boyd

[GVGjr]

When is it?

Tuesday the 30th

[The Coon Dog]

What voting system do they use for this?

All 4 coaches vote & award every player a score of 0-5. A really good game might result in a player polling 16 votes for that particular game.

[BulldogBelle]

Daniel Cross would be my pick to take the honours tonight in the B&F.

[Scorlibo]

Daniel Cross would be my pick to take the honours tonight in the B&F.

Same, under that voting system he is a good thing.

[Mantis]

Would like to see Cooney win it, he took his game to a new level, but think Cross's consistency might get him across the line even though I don't think this year was Daniel's best.

[Scraggers]

All 4 coaches vote & award every player a score of 0-5. A really good game might result in a player polling 16 votes for that particular game.

If all four coaches are giving a maximum 5 votes couldn't a good game get 20 votes ??

[The Coon Dog]

If all four coaches are giving a maximum 5 votes couldn't a good game get 20 votes ??

Almost impossible to get a 5.

[Scraggers]

Almost impossible to get a 5.

Fair call

[Scraggers]

Congrats to Daniel Cross who edged out Cooney and Boyd to win his first Charlie Sutton Medal.

Well done Crossy ... following in the mentors footsteps I see ...
