Still on a bit of a high from yesterday, footy on the mind as usual and found myself wandering around work pondering the question if Davo has been good enough thru home & away to be a smokey for the Sandover. He's been super impressive in all games I've witnessed this year, very important at a crucial stage yesterday, however I haven't seen enough footy to be certain or even if he's been suspended at any stage. Clearly his best year for the club and will be right up there in our F&B but can he take out the Sandover???
DW and BH I agree that he will come very close to winning our F&B this year. He has been one of the leading lights when we have not been travelling too well in some of our games. With respect to the Sandover Medal, I would be very surprised if he gets within a bull's roar of the leaders at any stage during the count as I suspect that a lot of what he does would not be noticed by the umpires.
An update:
Swan Districts' season ended when they were knocked out in the first week of the finals but likely draftee Dayle Garlett had a superb season and finished with 24 votes. Wayde Twomey polled 22, Shaun Hildebrandt 19, Tom Roach 19 and Tim Geappen 18. Not in our top five.
Are you really surprised by that S42? It shows to me how absurd it is that those 3 dingbats are responsible for the major individual award in WAFL/AFL/SANFL footy. Furthermore to that is to take a look at who they voted for in the Simpson Medal in the WP vs WCEP GF ..too not even have Kerr 5 goals & 20 disposals nor Guadignon in their top 5 players on the ground was completely laughable if it wasnt true!!

No I am not surprised. The unfortunate thing is that some journalists rely entirely on statistics; so they would equally be incompetent when it comes to selecting the best players under those circumstances as well.
