I think Sinclair and Wilkie definitely the stand-outs.

I know stats don't tell the full story but I believe Sinclair has been under-estimated by several supporters and commentators yet again.
His stats measure up to better than Bontempelli who most gave as BOG.
Sinclair amassed an amazing 146 AFL fantasy points, 639 metres gained, 36 disposals, 11 marks, and a goal in a team that was soundly beaten
I think the Bont's game from the centre through to F50 probably trumps Sincs' game from the back half. Put (a player like) the Bont in a Saints jumper and we win.
I am not disputing the Bont getting BOG so much as indicating just how good Sinclair's game was and how he is underestimated by many so regularly.
The Age newspaper couldn't even fit him into St Kilda's best. The Age has been guilty of that on several occasions this year when most have him in top 3 on the ground.

Subjective is right

Webster, Skunk and Gresh worked their butts off and not a lot of love here from voters.

Can’t believe zero votes for Gresh. He set up a fair bit of our attack and clearance work. He narrowly missed kicking 2 great goals. Not sure if both hit the post. Last year when Missy got 1-6 against the Swans, the coaches gave him votes for his effort.

Wood was ok as well. His kicking wasn’t great (he had a few mates) but the effort was certainly there. He had 13 marks, 6 score involvements and also kicked a good goal. I certainly rated his game higher than JB

Sinclair's amazing season continues.

He has polled top 5 in 16 of 17 matches!

Steele not far behind polling in 10 of a possible 13.

I don't want to spark another debate but we could of had him :wink:
