It's hard as you could reason either way for a lot of players. Still all up for debate.
I agree with swamp and rooshooto and players should be picked in playing positions they have played this season and not on reputation or putting midfielders that have been in the best players x amount of times in makeshift positions.
Might be Mallala biased but Joel Montgomerie and Jason Earl surely get picked?
Both have been in the best players numerous times and either could win the mail medal.
I have just checked L.Allmond stats and he has only kicked 14 goals. I assume he is more a midfielder then a goal kicker?
Feely has 49 goals, Solly and Thach 39 goals.
Surely one of them 3 are better suited ahead of Allmond? Given that Feely and Solly are big bodied full forwards and the side picked already has 3 big forwards, Thach may get the nod as a midfielder/forward?
