Magarey Medal 2023

[nwdfanparade]

South v North Round 8.

Sproule 2 votes. Thinking to myself, I think he did not play the second half. Had a check. Off at the 18 minute mark of the second quarter,

Did not make the 6 best players named by the coach (who would with less than half a game?)

I wonder who was supposed to get the votes?[/quot

Some time ago I heard a story/rumour that Russel Ebert once got a best on ground vote when he only played the first quarter.

Yeah but Russell was that good

I wonder if it was Laurie Sweeney that gave Russell the top vote that day.

Laurie Sweeney would have been on the radio in that time. Boring as batshit.

I'll go
Peter Mead 3 votes
Rick Kinnear 2 votes
Laurie Argent 1 vote

Bays top for majority of the season and clearly the best side going around, polled the equal lowest number of club votes?

Thats just the top 10 for the season.

That reminds me of a game at Norwood in 1990. North thrashed Norwood and Darren Jarman got the 3 votes, (It was the day Darren pointed to the scoreboard to Andrew). Anyway at 3/4 time in the coverage the commentators mentioned that the rising star, Adam Saliba (number 43) had only had 2 touches. He had a few in the last quarter, but not nearly enough to get in the best players, let alone get 2 votes. What we think happened is that another first year player, Rod Saunders, wearing number 49 had an absolutely outstanding game and the umpires confused the two players with the high numbers and thought that it was the talk of the town, Saliba, who had played the outstanding game and gave him the 2 votes.
I, too, have heard the Ebert story, but I don't know the veracity.

Sadly I remember that day, Darren Jarman was something else, as he was so many times. In my top 10 favourite players of all time to watch (not so much that day)

Well done to Harry Grant. Spoke really well. Sounds like he's full of character to back up his obvious talent on the footy field.

Reckon it Mitch Hardie didn't get picked up MSD by Geelong, he would have given it a shake !!
