Personally I would have been surprised if Mclean finished top 5. I think he finished the year well and perhaps that sticks in peoples minds.
It's also done by coaches so there is a lot we don't know about instructions given and if those instructions are then taken up by the player.
Great to see some backline love!

It's outrageous. It's almost like the coaches don't value my opinion at all.

Eh! They might not value yours...
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I agree G-Mo. We really have no idea if a player is following the coaches instructions and doing what the coaches want. Following the team plan I am sure would be a criteria that the coaches look for when giving votes too. Congrats to the Bont and our top 10. I have no issues.

Re: 2017 Charlie Sutton Medal
Not sure there's any measure by which JJ was the second best footballer at the club this year. Bizarre

I spoke to them about you the other day. They said the restraining order is still in place.

Well I didn't want to say anything.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Re: 2017 Charlie Sutton Medal
It's difficult to fault Bont for the win, his best dazzles so brightly, but you couldn't begrudge poor old Jack Macrae if he was feeling a wee bit unappreciated.
I can't think of another player who consistently went to work week in week out and reliably did his bit.

We might think that but opposition coaches clearly saw things the same way from mid year where they decided to have their whole teams target him
He may not have been as consistent but his best was scintillating and he has a big influence with his touches
I liked his work at half forward this year

Maybe the lack of hurt factor affected his result? Doesn't kick goals and very rarely does he spot up a target who does.

Probably, and that's a trait where Bont distinguishes himself as elite while Jacko needs to work on to further develop his game and contributions.
But in a year marked by erratic, unreliable output with plenty taking their turn to go AWOL just felt the way Macrae showed up every week stood out.

I'd have to agree there, I thought Daniel didn't advance at all, no way he should of done so well compared to others.
JJ we all know about, not sure how he polled so well.

Does anyone know if Stringer was at the award?
