How many votes did Thomson get?

[Cambridge Clarrie]

Well done to Sully for equal 4th

and Willow for equal 6th

And Life FM for a great broadcast. While not the same as watching it on TV, I didn't mind listening to it on the wireless !

[Adelaide Hawk]

I picked Luke Crane at the start of the year, but I thought he was a little inconsistent as the year went on, so I went off him

Spelly, Norwood had 19 players poll votes. Was this the highest from all 9 clubs, and would you know the most players from any club to poll votes in one season?

Lets just call it the midgets award. One day umpires will understand how hard football is for players over 186cm

So what where the odds on Craney pre count ???

Are there a few punters out there are going to cash in ???

I couldn't keep up with the players unfortunately, but Sturt and Norwood in 1978 had 20 players, I'll have a look for more.

Same. He was brilliant in 2007. Could only manage to be bloody good this year.

interesting to see Timmy Weatherald get 9 votes after sturt said your gunna play in the twos

Well said, and it's one of the many reasons I don't believe in Magarey Medals. They are entertainment value, but that's about all.

[Thunderstruck]

Great stuff to see Crane win, VERY good player and one of the best in the SANFL, certainly this year and great to see him acknowledged. Some AFL clubs could do worse in the national draft I rekon than pick him up with their last pick.

Also well done to Boydy for getting runner up, Jeremy Clayton MKII and prob a more pure rover. Tiny but very good.

How many did Sheedy poll? geez he was nowhere.

[bluegirl2002]

Luke who????

Keep an eye on Number2 in the Double Blue jumper on Sunday and you will see

Round 1 polled 3 votes

Round 11 polled 2 votes

Sturt played and defeated Norwood in these games-surprised you didn't notice Luke already !!

No room for him in the side while we've got LUKE CRANE!

It was my understanding Tim was told he would have to START the season in the twos, not neccessarily play the whole season there

Spot on. Umpires have always liked players the same size as them.
