Love the fact that coaches recognised that although they had 38, 36, 29, and 28 possessions, Sam Walsh, Blake Acres, George Hewitt, and Nick Newman had no impact on the game.
They decided that a guy that was struggling in the first half and was moved to the middle of the ground to have a massive impact with his 27 possessions deserved a unanimous BOG.

Seb Ross

Still proving the doubters wrong!

Still surprises me how few votes Seb collects from SS posters. Nah, not really.

The doubters are happy Seb is proving us right.
Same player, better team, less votes.
You really like dying a a slow slow death on some points, don't you.

[WellardSaint]

I would've had Seb replace Butler.
Maybe Buts had more pressure acts?

watch the video "all the goals" ... and you will see how many goals Butler was directly involved in (as well as the 3 he kicked himself)

Taking nothing away from Seb who was fantastic, but Butler had a great game

[The_Dud]

Seb is great when he’s the 3rd-4th banana, and so he should be.

When he has to be 1st or 2nd you’re going to be in strife.

[saynta]

Hard for some so called fans to give Seb the praise he so richly deserves. Pathetic really.

But been going on for years so not unexpected. Seb continues to show up the nuff nuffs for their lack of footy knowledge

Who exactly are these doubters B.M.?

The ones who prefer a team result to a B&F vote or Coaches vote? Or are they the ones still scratching their heads why RoMa missed out on a B&F because the voting was geared more towards games played than actual influence?
Perhaps they are the ones who enjoy the impact kids have on the contest, the result & the older guard?

Who are these doubters?

[B.M]

You

[Toy Saint]

Very surprised Mitch Owens didn't get a mention, he was pretty close to BOG in my opinion.

You

Please quote me then B.M..

[B.M]

Your little rant about Seb not deserving the 2019 B&F (his second!) is a little indicator of how you view his career

Like by so many supporters - he is underrated - the most underrated Saints player in my memory

He’s been good in a good team, he’s been good in a bad team

Fact is, he’s just been good - for about 8 seasons

BTW
2019
Both players played pretty much every game

Seb was more consistent- and voted best by the 4 coaches - who have forgotten more about footy than we will ever know!

And as for impact from the umpires POV
Ross 14 Brownlow votes
Marshall 7 votes

Face it

He has detractors- who most of the time look stupid

Did they play the same amount of games B.M. or did Seb play more?

If you wish to quote me, then you could quote my votes this round where I gave him one more vote than one of the coaches did.

He's your man crush, not mine. I simply want a team to win a premiership not another individual award to savour.

[B.M]

Do you think Seb plays for individual accolades?

He’s a selfless, humble, reliable and professional footballer

And I respect that

He has contributed in good and bad times. He is not a Lenny Hayes or Nick Reiwoldt but he’s had a very good career in the RWB
You don’t win B&Fs if you can’t play

We do need someone to blame for the 2013-2019 seasons though
So the coach and best player of the time are two to scapegoat I suppose?!

Actually thinking about it

The persons I blame are
Chris Pelchen
Tony Elshaug
And about 40 s*** players we had during that time

Seb Ross

Still proving the doubters wrong!

Keeping it warm till Bytel accumulates more at the top level
Ross won’t play in our next premiership side imo

Ross is a valuable running player - is very quick and has endurance. And we are a team of runners, that's our point of difference.
He'd be one of the first picked each week.
If we make the GF over the next couple of years, he'll be in it (and he'd be a big reason for us making it into one).
And Bytel is more your Crouch type.
Hopefully Bytel gets to carve out a career as successful as either of them.

2 charity participation votes this year and bm is wetting his pants.

[desertsaint]

Just taking the mick . Been a solid player for us for years.

[B.M]

Bit better than solid

[CQ SAINT]

Bit better than solid

Nah, he has been solid.
Steele, Wilkie Marshall and Sinclair have been better than solid.

Similarly, Mason Wood has gone to another level and is now solid.
These are all experienced players. It just what is expected really.

Ross is good AFL player and an outstanding athlete. He can play anywhere.
