    I doubt Kysiah Pickett, Ben Brown, Weideman or even Fritsch have polled many votes either. Good teams have lots of players playing their role.

      True....but if say Ronke and Paps (on his return) were getting votes and Hickey or Ladhams (who just got 7 votes) were too....then we'd be dominating matches....so TB makes a good point.

      Rucks performing well equals more forward entries where in form small forwards get goals, equals more goals.....very important in any game but especially in finals (assuming all other players are effectively playing their roles as well).

        The leading player in the AFLCA leaderboard known predominantly for his forward work plays for…. Sydney. (Equal footing with Higgins at St Kilda.) He’s our second highest player at the moment.

          True, but we were without Papley, Buddy or Hickey, who were all in our top 10 vote getters from last year. Add them and I expect we would dominate more.
          Actually, i just noticed we were without 5 of last year's top 10 for that match - the others being Kennedy & Dawson. So an even more commendable performance.
