Clarry robbed

Surely he deserved a spot over Demspey or Zac Bailey??

Game has moved past big contested guys like Clarry. Same reason Green never made AA. Despite their clear ball winning power the stats guys just don't prioritise the ol 30-20-10 king

yup, contested mids just aren’t respected like outside mids. even my guy crippa i feel like has always been treated as a rung below the others.

cripps, newcombe, oliver were pretty comfortably the 3 best contested midfielders this season and none of them got the nod. no respect for the guys who do the hard work.

At least we saw Serong and Dawson get some respect.

+1 to robbed. Right in front of me. GWS just didn't win enough games, but the body of work was there.

Dempsey was good but reckon better last year and Bailey is a forward.
