They are saying that Jones will win the B&F at Melbourne what a bloody great effort.

[B W and R all over]

I think we'd all have noticed one name missing from that top 10.
Surely Sam Gilbert had a better year than Martin Clarke or Tom Williams.

[ausfatcat]

you'd think he would be right under hurn.

[JeffDunne]

Bryce Gibbs.

Better season than Gilbert?

Kiss my hairy arse.

[Dal'sGal26]

No surprise that Selwood won, but I am suprised that Gilbo didn't even get a vote!

[evertonfc]

We had the next pick in the draft. Armitage.

I had my heart in my mouth when Selwood wasn't called, hoping we'd get him. Same deal with Nathan Djerkkura - and we took Bradley Howard with the next pick.

Let's hope Armo is inspired by this to work harder over the pre-season.

[hotdish]

Wow, what a joke.

i'm not being biased here, but Tom William played around two good games all year. Gilbert was consistently in our best (Well at least in my opinion in the second half of the year).

Not even one vote?

[fingers]

Pendlebury second!?? Eddie will CRACK IT!!!!

What the f*** does NT mean?


Also, How do they justify making A Demitriou and A Anderson vote givers......????


How much football would they really watch?

[Saints Premiers 2008]

how can anyone justify giving bryce gibbs 6 votes???

all season he was constantly beaten on the oppositions worst half forward flanker...

that is saying something to this boys 'talent'

and considering gilber only started palying the game recently, growing up in a state where afl is foreign for the majority...

ah i rest my case

What the f*** does NT mean?

"No Text"

From the old days of usenet when someone leaving a message blank made you unsure whether it was intentionally blank, or your connection was stuffed.

[vacuous space]

Stats show that Gilbert had a better year than Gibbs.

Stats show that Gilbert had a better year than just about everyone who polled votes. Hurn finished fifth, even though Gilbert averaged more disposals, marks and tackles. It amazes me that someone who's so tall, so fast and so talented can escape the eyes of supposedly knowledgeable football people.

But I'm quite content for people to underrate Gilbo.

[joffaboy]

Bryce Gibbs.

Better season than Gilbert?

Kiss my hairy arse.

I'll pass on kissing your hairy whatsit, but you are deadset spot on.

He isn't known as Bryce Squibbs for nothing.

How many contests did young Sam Gilbert shirk this season???

A big round ducks egg that how many.

And how Squibbs be seen to be better than Martin Clarke

pfft

[sackers5]

But I'm quite content for people to underrate Gilbo.

Exactly, the less that know about him the better I say.

[Nick_Dal_Santo = ChAmPiOn]

i cannot believe gilbert didnt even get 1 VOTE

absolute bs

wat the hell has bryce gibbs done ?

[Otiman]

For those who are not sure how the voting system works for the rising star.


All the nominees are nominated (well, yeah)
A panel of 5 (i think it's 5) people give their 5,4,3,2,1 votes for their own personal top 5.
These votes are added, and tallied up.

[plugger66]

Pretty much spot on I would think.

[LTN16]

Sam Gilbert had a heaps better year than Martin Clarke

[plugger66]

Well Clarke got one vote more than Gilbo. Gilbo could have been 6th in that persons opinion. Not a big deal.
