Everybody's whipping boy Lachie Plowman polls well again. Even i'm surprised he got more votes than Jones, but there you go.
About time he gets some respect.
Re: Congratulation Sam Walsh - B+F winner 2021 - PaulP - 10-14-2021
At a minimum I'd be swapping the votes of Jones and Cripps. Jones was super this year.
Re: Congratulation Sam Walsh - B+F winner 2021 - PaulP - 10-14-2021
And congratulations to Walsh.

Closer than many people had it, the coaches love defenders.
Plowman, just keeps committing to the contest, I bet he is a favourite of Weitering and Jones!

Well done to Walsh and, also Weitering.
Probably one of the keys to performing well in these type of awards is not only how the coaches see things and their expectations (which don't always match the supporters), but actually getting on the field...and we had our share of injury troubles this year.
All of the top ten, bar Silvagni, played at least 19 games.

Sensational year by Walsh but only winning by 11... I love Weit but really? And Plowman - indictment on the playing group that he makes top 10... as well as those voting obviously.
Re: Congratulation Sam Walsh - B+F winner 2021 - DJC - 10-14-2021
Congratulations to Sam Walsh on the first of what should be several hotly contested John Nicholls medals ... and runner-up Jacob Weitering will undoubtedly snare a few more in the years to come.
I reckon the top ten really do capture our best performers for the season ... but the Plowman detractors will continue to fail to see how valuable he is to our defence. Ed Curnow's fifth place should also pour cold water on ideas that he's past it.
Eddie's ninth place is interesting. Could he have gone around again? Probably, but at what cost in terms of his wellbeing and the progression of the likes of Owies and Honey.

Not really. The award is a joke and pretty much fixed.

The award is a joke and pretty much fixed.It's a coach's award and is hugely influenced by the role they're asked to play, and also by the number of games they play...but you probably wouldn't get a lot of argument about the top 3...only perhaps the margins.
