Backchat is the only reason Jezza wouldnt have scored more votes. He had 35 disposals, 11 marks and 1 goal in R1 for nothing. Against Sturt later in the year he had 34 disposals, 9 marks and 6 goals and was the clear most brilliant player on the ground....no votes. Other games he was just as good but also got no or one votes. He really does fly off the handle at the umpires sometimes so I dont blame them, the award is fairest as well as most brilliant player.

Don't they mean "fairest" as in "not suspended"? :?

I know that :wink: but, that's what the rules state (illegible to win if suspended). Even then, umpires still give out votes to players who have already been suspended during the year.

I'm not sure if there is a 100% right answer to your last point, as on one hand any player can be the fairest and most brilliant in any game and on the other hand why give votes to someone ineligible to win the award?

Congratulations to Backwell on his win. He obviously had a great season. I have got to say I am very surprised by the reluctance of the men in white to recognise the efforts of Archard and Clayton- who will both probably romp in their respective b&f's.
Young mouse ( avery appropriate nickname if ever there was one) must also feel deeply indebted to the sanfl tribunal who saw no malice intended in his reckless head high contact with Josh Thewlis in Rd 23. 8)

My thoughts entirely Aerie - a rubbish article from a rubbish journalist.

Although the title in the print edition is different from what you have above:

"Overawed Brett Owes Tribunal"

Maybe so, but I reakon polling in 11 out of 20 games might also have gone a long way to determining his win. Very sour grapes from a bloke who should know better.

Was he any less chatty last year? I find it hard to believe that he can top the poll one year and finish so low in the next. If anything I thought his season this year was better than last year, and I'm surprised that many of his teammates got votes when he didn't.

BAYMAN had to pay some the tribunal to let mouse off so he could collect the profits from backing mouse at 40/1.

But if Mouse was suspended, it would have made for much better TV when reading the votes in the last few rounds...
