Thread: Round 21 votes

  1. #1

    Angry Round 21 votes

    There should be an AFL investigation into this games voting

    Imagine if Goodsey only polled 1 against Melbourne

    Yep. Bizzare. Up there with that time Greg Williams got 40+ touches and no votes - but I can live with it

    The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

    It certainly was a strange set of votes. But much as it pains me to say it, Buckley has had a sensational year and deserved his overall win. Probably unlucky only to get the one vote in the final round.

    I fell asleep and woke up at about 2.15am and went downstairs to watch the voting for the final rounds. So it wasn't until after the count that I went back and saw which games Goodes polled in. I thought he was clearly our BOG in many games throughout the season and was surprised he didn't poll more 3 voters. But then he was also good at picking up the odd vote here and there when we lost.

    If Buckley got a vote Captain should have taken home the Brownlow for his performance

    Perhaps a little iffy, but who cares? Our man won, and so did two other guys who certainly deserve it based on the season they've had. The fact that Buckley got a medal as well in no way detracts from Goodesy getting his.

    We hate Anthony Rocca
    We hate Shannon Grant too
    We hate scumbag Gaspar
    But Leo WE LOVE YOU!

    All we did wrong in rd.21 was lose.

    If we had won, how could you not have given Adam at least one vote, and therefore the Brownlow?

    No-one likes taggers it seems, and it looks like the maggots are no exception. Maybe they gave Buckley a 'consolation' vote after being towelled by Captain.
    To all those people who waited 72 years to see a South Melbourne/Sydney Swans premiership HERE IT IS!!

    He also happened to kick 3 goals that day IIRC.

    I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

    If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

    Gary Lyon on Nova 100 this morning said that Goodes got votes in games where he was quiet. This coming from a guy who supposedly hadn't watched a swans game all year!!! And why not comment on Buckley getting 1 vote for Round 21 when he did NOTHING. That got me upset. Even a Collingwood supporter here at work agreed with me.

    But anyway, Congratulations Goodsey
