Jack Dyer Medal 2021

[Rancey18]

Given our season is coming to an end, I started having a think about this and realised that there does not appear to be any real standout player for us this season.

Only 4 players have played every game this season (Short, Graham, Baker, Riewoldt), with Grimes missing 1 game and Bolton 2.

My early favourite Broad has probably missed too many games now to feature up the pointy end.

You would think that the above players are probably the ones to feature prominently - but interested in hearing people's thoughts regarding who has been our standout player this season.

Absolute lottery this year. Bolton will be leading at the half way mark I would have thought but can't even hazard a guess beyond that.

 

[Harry]

there's no real standout. Broad would have been leading before injury, but other than him everyone else has stunk it up.

It's a raffle imo.

Hope Grimes wins it.

 

[St Kevin]

Our system seems to be weighted towards games played. Riewoldt or Grimes for me.

 

[zippadeee]

I think Graham, Broad, Grimes and Bolton (before his broken wrist)
Have been our best

 

[DavidSSS]

Bolton has to be a chance as he would have a lot of votes from earlier games.

Jack Riewoldt

It's set to be another thrilling count for the Jack Dyer Medal after another year of injuries to top players ruled out some of the usual suspects. Just four players have played every game, one of which being veteran forward Riewoldt. The 32-year-old has only been goalless once on his way to 48 majors, as well as averaging 11 disposals and five marks a game, and won a few games off his own boot. Shai Bolton tailed off in the second half of the year, while the Tigers' "Mr Fix It" in Liam Baker could be in for his best result ever and Jayden Short is a chance to go back-to-back. – Sarah Black

Other contenders: Liam Baker, Jayden Short, Jack Graham, Shai Bolton

How they vote: Every player is awarded between zero and five votes after each match.

Apparently they’re changing the 2021 AFL Premiership to the “Who cares Cup”

Maybe our JDM should be renamed the “last man standing” medal?

Jack, Baker, Graham and Short.

Grimes 20 and Bolton 19.

Aarts and Castagna 20 as well but some sub appearances included there (stupid sub rule).

Jack Graham. Interesting that Dusty isn't in the onversation

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Graham/Grimes/Bolton

Can't find a date listed, but non-finalists usually get it out of the way pretty swiftly. Possibly a makeshift affair like last year's.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Stephen Bradbury a good chance to win.

If shorty won back2back JD's, it would cheapen the award IMO.

and i think Graham or Bakes winning it would also highlight what a poor year we really had.

i think JR would be a deserving winner.

id give it to Cotchy if it was down to me. Played 17 games. Reckon hes a smokey

whose gonna win the PRE award?

I tend to agree - I dont think Short, Graham or Baker have necessarily had a "B&F" type of year.

If only Broady didnt get injured...
