I'm not sure that Gum stands out to the umps as much as us he does to us folk on the sidelines. How did he poll in the first half of last year? Then again, it wouldn't be the first time North had gifted us a Magarey Medallist
Only commenting on the games I've seen:
> Liddle definitely has 3 votes in Round One IMO.
> It's a 4-way battle between Allan/Alleway/Thring/Gill in Round 2 at Prospect. (Note that Thring only had 16 disposals in this game, but every of of them that I saw oozed class).
> Round 3 at Unley is a toss up between Bode, Gum, Sheedy (10 tackles, but do the umps actually care about this???), Jaensch and McGlone.
> I think Powell, Goldsworthy and Broadbent are in the running for Round 4 at Unley. Jarrad had a lot of the ball but many of his kicks were sideways passes in the backline, which he stuffed up a couple of times...
> Sheedy, Gum, Chambers, Jaensch and McGlone are in the running for Round 5 votes.
Watch out for Jade Sheedy and Luke Crane in the next few rounds.
