I voted for Buchanan. However, the most influential player, IMO, to swing the result the Swans way was Staker.
He is from NSW...

Cost me $1600... I thought I had it in the bag when the siren sounded... Was beside myself when they said Judd...Originally posted by Old Royboy
Monty for sure, and I wish people would stop bringing this up. Those idiot Norm Smith medal judges who placed flash, dash and lousy disposal before effectiveness cost me $1400.
RE-COUNT!!!!Some people say Football is a matter of life and death - I say it's a lot more important than that!

People say LRT was best on ground, when he had a big first quarter (10 possessions?) and didn't do a huge amount after that, yet say that Judd didn't deserve it because his effectiveness was not as high in the second half.

LRT was a standout in the first half but had a quiet (not bad) game after that.
Buchanan was BOG in the final quarter.
Fosdike was consistent over four quarters."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

This is the way I saw it too. Over the course of the whole game Fosdike was BOG followed by LRT. Buchanan had a sensational last quarter and most likely won it for us through a number of crucial plays. Three other vital plays in the last quarter - Hall's team lifting goal, Kirky's mark on the half back line and well you know the other one.Originally posted by hammo

All considered, probably line ball between Fosdike and Monty. I went the latter.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

Fosdike..played every minute at 100%;Buchanan..fantastic premiership winning last quarter; LRT.. fantastic premiership winning first quarter;LB..fantastic premiership winning mark; maybe this was a TEAM effort, but Fozzy for mine!Comment

Monty deserved it for the sheer influence on the outcome of the 2005 Flag.
Judd was good, but his efforts were not good enough to get his team over the line.
Monty was good, his efforts did, including the clutch goal, several spoils, vital tackles and several inside 50s that were slaughtered by Mick.The Pain of Discipline is Nothing Like The Pain of DisappointmentComment

I voted Buchanan, but its wonderful to know that Fossie can really turn in top performances in the big games. He may not have completely lived up to his high draft pick potential, but it looks like he'll be very serviceable for us for many years.
I've come to like his game more and more, though earlier in his career I was calling for his head. He seems to be one of those quiet ones who no one really talks about on RWO, which is probably a good thing!Comment

LRT still has more votes than Fossie - why on earth do fans of other teams still say Swans supporters are football ignorant?Comment

Both major contributors. I gather that you consider the Norm Smith voting and expert opinion on the day was also by the football ignorant?Originally posted by ROK Lobster

Fossie showed the workrate he is capable of & there's a level of disappointment that he doesn't do it more consistently from week to week. In other words, he played to a level we know he's capable of but rarely achieves.
LRT played a much greater hand than we expected (or could ever really have hoped for). He was rarely beaten in a contest & no major fups with his disposals & even created some movements rather than just reacted. In other words, he played well above himself (and above most expectations).
So overall, Fossie may have been a greater contributor - but the perception is LRT had the blinder.Comment
