I love the part where he said the two goals Errol kicked was just him showing off how good he is.Comment

Coaches' votes
10 Errol Gulden (SYD)
7 Hayden McLean (SYD)
6 Tom Green (GWS)
5 Jake Lloyd (SYD)
1 Lachie Ash (GWS)
1 James Rowbottom (SYD)
Gulden 5-5
McLean 4-3
Green 4-2
Lloyd 3-2
Ash, Rowbottom 1-0
A little surprised Rowbottom received a vote, I thought he turned over the ball a few times, but maybe he had a tagging job that he executed well.

Hard to argue with Errol, Hayden and Jake collecting the bulk of the votes. And Green for them.
Could have gone either Chad or Rowie for the final vote. Rowie had his usual contested, tackles, etc - plus 10 intercept possessions! Though as you say, his kicking was meh. I also thought Chad was very good, as while it wasn't his flashest game, that made it more meritorious. He did a lot of small things well, at critical times. It shows he's continuing to round his game.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

5 votes from the coaches but what would they know?Comment

What a vindictive little comment.
As I said, watching live, I didn't think he did a lot and was very ordinary. That doesn't mean I had it correct as it can be easy to miss things when watching live.
With that being said, I felt Fox and Warner had better games than Lloyd (and Rowbottom for that matter), clearly the coaches didn't.Comment

Probably one for list management - there are certainly a couple who fancy themselves as future Swans and who knows!
Just to keep this thread on track, I see the Swans website has a "just Errol" highlights package from the game, and what a thing of joy it is.Comment

Why would you claim a player was "very ordinary" if you concede that it's easy to miss things when watching a game live?What a vindictive little comment.

Don't think Blood Fever was being vindictive at all - just stating a fact. You though Lloyd was ordinary, 2 AFL coaches had him in the top 5 players on the ground.Comment

You thought Lloyd was ordinary. 2 AFL coaches disagreed and demonstrated their opinions by putting him in their votes. That makes it a fact. Disliking how that fact was presented to you is your prerogative.Last edited by Sandridge; 7 August 2023, 08:23 PM.Comment

Can’t find whether Campbell has accepted a week. One GWS bloke has, the other will challenge.Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.Comment

Agreed barry- watching the game live, I missed Campbell’s, but saw it on the replay. You would expect this in a derby for sure and didn’t look bad to me. Hope it’s challenged and he gets off.Comment
