Phos v Smosh game were phos won by 21 goals, one of our blokes got a vote and the poor fella from phos who kicked 11 didnt get in, what a disgrace... my solution the coaches of a particular game confer after the conclusion of the game and pick a 3,2,1, similar to how they do coaches votes on footy classified in the AFL.
Plenty of stories no doubt of this ilk. Ben Gunning Associaiton B&F in the last minor round against Pembroke played the first quarter and was rested for the entire game after that. Result was 3 votes from the umpires-go figure
Mind you he had that many touches in that quarter we thought he was going to get leather poisoning. As you know Ben got the Mail medal for the Yorke Penninsula association last year but didn't poll that well at club level for the Cougars, Yes umpires do see things differently but at the end of the day it will always be that way and the recipoents are still deserved of their accolades.
