2012 Magarey Medal - Live Chat here tonight

[saintal]

Check out the Adelaide Now red carpet gallery and you'll see that Symes and Cross are also winners off the field.

Was waiting for that to be said. Took longer than I thought But yes I agree..

[prowling panther]

Good blokes make every post a winner.

[ChickCock]

Hope those 2 blokes aren't now gonna be classed as superstars now, surely not

In my eyes.....yes they are!!!

Why, only your eyes, cause there is a south player involved

Alot of people never heard of your south bloke, can't be a champion, superstar, the best surely

[MATT IN WA]

Really happy!!

Totally deserves it.....great player and top friendly bloke off the field!!!

Well done Crossy!! Very proud

At least least I acknowledged him by name.

Sorry??

My mistake Southie, wrong quote. Fixed now.

They both are great players.

Matt Jaensch just cost James Boyd a magarey!!!

[MATT IN WA]

... Boyd deserved his suspension, so I find it hard to feel sorry for him....

Got king hit off the ball by a gutless bluebagger, and caught giving one back...deserved????

And if you're from WA I guess you were at the game to see that.

No sympathy for him. Congrats to Cross and Symes.[/quote]


IN WA, never from!

LOL. Of course Boyd was just an innocent party.

Best and fairest is the criteria for the award.

Can't get over the fact there are Dogs fans who seem more interested in the ineligible player than the player from their club who just won...

Congratulations to Brad Symes and Joel Cross
A disappointment when a runaway leader cant win but "thems the rules"
Pity the computer coverage was very poor but at least it is better than nothing i guess
It doesn't display the SANFL in a very good light as supposedly a top league.
I can remember when the magarey medal was a big deal, now every thing is AFL orientated

Best and fairest is the criteria for the best and fairest at each club as well - hence the name of the award.
Doesn't mean squat IMO.

The notion that suspended = unfair player, and not suspended = fair player is why it's flawed.

He isn't a Dogs player I guess, and I don't think he is highly rated by some Dog supporters.

Couldn't agree more, but I reckon thats a discussion for another time

[Cambridge Clarrie]

Been the same criteria for 114 or so years. I reckon they have it right...

[Dissident]

Yeah, nah.

It's called "not knowing how to change it so just leave it"

[Jim05]

Well done to the winners.
Symes is one of those guys who is a gun at SANFL level but unfortunately for him for one reason or another cant make the step up. Both medallists could end up getting drafted and heading interstate if Symes is delisted. Im sure other sides would be keeping an eye out for them both
