Fozzy

[swan_song]

Trust Fozzy to grab the 3 votes at the end...couldn't he have had just a slightly less good game in rnd 22?

(by the way...this is not a SERIOUS post).

Great effort.

And I've been touting him as a potential trade.

Perhaps I was wrong?
I was wrong once before lol

Maybe he is worth more as a trade now

I thought Micky would have pipped Goodes to get 3 and maybe Fozzy get 1 or 2, luckily it was the 1, A Brownlow is a Brownlow whether it is tied or not

i think nic has played good this year

well done nic youre great

Interesting that Goodes polled in 11 games - Fossie had 3 BOGs. Congrats to him for the Brownlow votes - and maybe following sat night he has copped a bit too much criticism - but he needs to reduce the gap between his best and his worst.

Well done to Bolts as well (last years chopping block player) 13 votes.

A good chance to win one with an outstanding year Bolts - epitimses the aspects of Brownlow winners - Fairness - determination - leadership - courage - hard work......

We all know how much Jude improved this year but I didn't realise Fossy had played in that many 'stand out' games

I don't know why but I'm chuckling here that Fossy beat Willo by a point and Willo beating BBB by a point.

Fosdike, particularly given our current style of play, is going to stand out from time-to-time.

When our running game is going and the likes of Barry and Kennelly are streaming downfield, Fosdike can be a good linkman.

In the 3 games he polled as BOG he had a total of 65 possessions, only 12 of which were either R50's or I50's - ie. he gets his possessions in the middle of the ground (even if it is out in space on a wing) which seemingly catches more of the ump's attention than guys like Barry, Kennelly etc.

He also always looks very balanced and controlled (not that the actual delivery is always spot on) - maybe that's another thing that catches attention. His high kick-handball ratio probably also makes each of his possessions more obvious.

Would Goodesy have won it if Jason Ball had been there to take some more votes as well??
Of course he deserves it , no question , but a fit JB would surely have added to the Swans overall tally.

Goodes only polled 4 votes (2 x 2 games) after Ball went down in round 17. If he hadn't been in the ruck, he may have even polled more.

Go you goodes thing.....

If Ball had been there I reckon we'd be playing in the GF this weekend and then Goodsey probably wouldn't care whether he'd won the Brownlow or not.

I agree.

[dimelb]

And that shows these nutcases that want to trade Fozzy. He's good, and getting better. I look forward to his next season.

the thing is the umps often see it differently so getting a three voter off them doesn't necessarily mean a gun game in my opinion. History shows that there are good players who rarely got votes, and greats who never won the award.

now doesn't your post just devalue every single brownlow medallist including the latest ones?
