SAAFL Division 1 & D1R (2012)

anyone daring enough yet to list who the umpires were when this particular player got votes
Hehe

And cant say im trolling cos its just a simple observation. Maybe theres a pattern maybe there is not.

Not sure who the umpires were, but here's a breakdown of his votes:

Rd 2 - 3 votes - Not named in Top 5 - Lost to Broadview by 8pts
Rd 6 - 3 votes - Named 2nd Best - Lost to TTG by 27pts
Rd 7 - 1 vote - Named Best - Def Eastern Park by 2pts
Rd 11 - 3 votes - Named 2nd Best - Def Broadview by 30pts
Rd 15 - 3 votes - Named Best - Def TTG by 39pts
Rd 16 - 2 votes - Not named in Top 5 - Def PHOS by 16pts
Rd 18 - 1 vote - Named 5th Best - Def Eastern Park by 56pts

Only twice he got votes and wasn't named in Gepps' Top 5. He couldn't have been playing too badly if the club had him in their best 5 out of the 7 games he got votes in...

Getting 3 votes when you lose by 27 points and only get 2nd best for your team doesnt sound right. Prob shouldn't have got any votes here. Also 3 votes in another losing game when not named in your clubs best 5 doesn't sound right either. Nor does the other 2 votes when not named in his clubs best 5. This totals 8 votes. Brings him much further down the list than number 1 doesn't it???

Last year Dane Swan won the brownlow and not his clubs best and fairest? what's the big deal?
I think you're fast to forget the association medal votes are done by umpires and club best and fairest votes are done by coaching staff.
Both parties view the game from different angles and perspectives... Don't see what the big deal is?

well its not quite the same thing, but anyway.
and like i have said previously, him winning the medal is not what my original post was about. no need to keep bringing it up..

Two big piles of dirt on Gaza Oval haven't moved for a few days. Are they laying new turf or growing from seed? Either way, surely the ground would not be up to handling the traffic of 2 senior footy games + juniors in the middle of winter. Gaza might have to play away games all year!

Not sure they would be to worried playing at Thebby every second week

I might be wrong but I thought I heard that Greenacres was going to be the Gaza ground of choice.

can't charge a gate there

Looks good enough to play a grand final on

[bird of prey]

Yeah the ground at gaza won't be ready for us till almost mid year. The first few home games at thebby should be good. Greenacres bottom oval is a cracker too. Brilliant condition. Might be training there, possibly play a game there if our oval ain't ready. There are plenty of other options available too. A massive shame our oval isn't ready for rd 1, but we're all still happy

Lets not pay attention to Jimmy, i personally went out to Gaza Oval and took a photo of the developments myself....

[locky801]

think their Juniors are using the bottom oval at Greenacres for their home games, not sure if all grades from the club may be training there as well

[Lightning McQueen]

Is that your backyard?

[Jimmy_041]

No - mine's got a pool

[Yank Man]

That is pure gold.

Did Henry Whiting play in this div? If so how does he go and wat type of player is he?

Whiting got caught quite often! Using fresh cockles as bait on light tackle, he was a sensation grilled with lemon juice freshly squeezed on top.

He's been done Hook, Line and Sinker with that question.

Drove past Gaza this morning and it seems there is something resembling a cricket pitch in the centre of the oval....progress!
