Re: B & F Predictions
Just about right I reckon. Although it wouldn't surprise me to see one or both of Bruce & Membrey in the top five. Both have been excellent this year, especially when you consider the quality of our entries. They've kicked 34.2% of our goals this season.older saint wrote: ↑Thu 22 Aug 2019 8:28pm Granted not sure on voting procedure but based on what i have watched this season:

Re: B & F Predictions
Marshall absolutely deserves it this year... Who was the last ruckman to win B&F out of interest?
1/3 of our forwards have kicked 1/3 of our goals... Doesn't seem that amazing.

Re: B & F Predictions
Haha, not when you put it like that!
Only GWS have had a better return from their top two goal kickers.

Re: B & F Predictions
I think you've pretty much nailed the Top 5 older saint, I see Wilkie as a smokey, probably taking Gresham's spot. So my guess...

Re: B & F Predictions

Re: B & F Predictions
Yeah fair call, forgot about him. I'd swap Battle for Wilkie then. Clark was good and deserves a strong showing at the B&Fdesertsaint wrote: ↑Fri 23 Aug 2019 12:52pmbe shocked if wilike isn't top ten. clark's second half sees him half a chance too.

Re: B & F Predictions
If it was just for the last 8 rounds, Clark would almost certainly win. He has polled in all 8 games in Saintsational B&F.
But over the season he missed too many matches.
Marshall for me.

Re: B & F Predictions
not a chance of clark winning, but a chance at top ten. i reckon ross or marshall. depends on how highly rated steele's tagging and tackling is rated by the club but he and billings should be top five, wilkie or gresh for the other spot. think wilkie deserves it more.

Re: B & F Predictions
How I think they'll finish
1. Billings
2. Steele
3. Marshall
4. Ross
5. Membrey
Who I'd like to win it...
Marshall to just edge out Steele. JB, Ross, and Membrey rounding out the top 5 and Cal Wilkie coming in 6th.
Best first year player - Wilkie
Best Emerging Player - Clark

Re: B & F Predictions
How does the club vote on the B & F?
Is it a 3,2,1 like the Brownlow?
Or a 5,4,3,2,1 like Saintsational?
Or does every player get a ranking out of 10 for their contribution?
Or another variation?

Re: B & F Predictions
Most rounds we'll see coaches giving players a 3,2 or 1 vote and if you have an outstanding game with 10+ goals or 45+ possessions you'll get 4 votes from one of the coaches (obviously very rare). Might be 5 coaches giving votes so if all 5 give you a 3 you earn 15 votes for the round.
Sav leading after 10 rounds. Sebby to probably take out his second award. Wouldn't mind if Shane wins it as he has had an outstanding year

edit...looks like something's not right with the votes for Gresh and Sav. They don't add up (?!)

Re: B & F Predictions
I'd say it says more about Seb doing the role he is asked to do. Coaches know the expectations and performance of the players far better than do fans.
Congrats, Seb. I think Marshall was the most valuable player to the side this year, but best and fairest is not the same as MVP.
