How a player can get 3 votes when their team has lost by that sort of margin is beyond me. Umpires votes are a joke.
In our B grade we had a young fella finish second in the count, got 15 votes from 7 games. He's a permanent forward pocket who sits at the feet of our Full forward and has averaged about a goal a game. He plays his role really well for our team but isn't a dominate footballer, can't really understand how he managed to poll so many votes to be honest.
I managed to poll a vote when we played Brahma Lodge, we won by 20 plus goals and as a defender I did f**k all that game because the ball hardly entered their forward line. The fact that I received a vote is a joke.
