[Young Blood]

Try some considered specific criticisms instead of the mindless abuse.

I enjoy reading/listening to Mike Sheahan, he's one of the more thoughtful journos around.

-1 for your list.

[C-Train]

geezus man, grow a sense of humour... I'm just @@@@@@@ing around...
It doesn't matter who picks who in what order there will be criticism, but i feel he really got a few wrong!
No Goodes in the top 50????

Lighten up

[swansrule100]

one of his better lists

goodes didnt play better than anyone on that list this year

[C-Train]

goodes didnt play better than anyone on that list this year

Thats a really big call!!!

[AnnieH]

one of his better lists

goodes didnt play better than anyone on that list this year

Fifth in the charlie count says otherwise.

[C-Train]

Thanks Annie I was starting to think I was going insane...

[Lohengrin]

Fifth in the charlie count says otherwise.

Fifth in the Charlie says nothing. Meaningless voting system.

[C-Train]

yeh but you'd think 5th would mean you sneak into the top 50!
Its a ridiculous statement to make that Goodes didn't play better than anyone on that list...

You might as well throw him around in trade week!!! straight swap for Lovett ya reckon swansrule100???

[Lohengrin]

yeh but you'd think 5th would mean you sneak into the top 50!

Who did he play better than? He didn't make the AA extended team. He didn't deserve as many Brownlow votes as he received, which in any case doesn't point towards how good his year was overall.

[C-Train]

Just with a quick glance... any of these.
anyway... everyone has their opinions... maybe next year i might watch whatever game you were watching...

[Lohengrin]

You really think so?!?

[C-Train]

You really think so?!?

YES

[AnnieH]

In a bad year, Goodesy played well. Not as well as we've seen (or like) him to play, but well enough to have made the top 50.

Lohengrin, if the brownlow count is meaningless, why is brownlow medal so important? Every player plays for a charlie (well, most players anyway).

[Lohengrin]

I think every player plays to win a flag. The Brownlow is important because of tradition, but it's widely recognised that it's a midfielders' medal and it doesn't always get it right.

Goodes didn't even finish top 10 in the B&F.
