Fit enough, but he’s a five eighth. Some see him as a lock but he’d need to add significant strength and bulk to handle the D. And he’d be doing himself out of a lot of moolah.
Galvins way to slow for fullback, hardly fast enough for 6.

I'd love lachie to win it, but burton is an individual player. Individual players always poll well. Ezra Mam with 18 tries last year. Tom Trbojevic. Jack Wighton

There’s a couple of giant catapillars on his forehead. I wonder if he has to use an insecticide to keep them apart.

Idk if it’s been mentioned, but apparently he’s out of the running for rookie of the year Becauas he served a two game suspension for the hip drop earlier in the season.

Silly rule really, I remember the year Andrew Johns was suspended for giving Preston Campbell a forearm. Johns was a walk in for the Dally m medal but because he was suspended Campbell ended up winning it. Instead of being best and fairest there should be 2 awards. One for the best and one for the fairest. In terms of rookie of the year it's just silly. Imo he's been by far the best rookie all year a complete stand out in the last placed team but gets no recognition because of a hip drop. Imo whoever wins it only wins it by default.

I like Ethan Strange more.
He has taken on Canberras destiny this year without his halfback and has them still in contention for the finals.
That’s a far better accomplishment than the bloke who’s team is coming 16/17th.

Oxymoron.

Seems like such a silly rule
He was miles ahead early on....
But has fallen away the back of the year.
Lachie is pretty much playing without a halfback as well....
Our 7's have been bog ordinary for the majority of the year.

Yeah it does sometimes, but really Johns shouldn’t have tried to give Preston a dental checkup with his forearm.
The hip drop is probably even more dangerous, giving someone knee and ankle checkups with your giant arse is not medically acceptable any more.
The more I think about it tough luck.
Do we wanna reward the “Best and Fairest” or the “Best and Cheatiest”, bcoz storm would win that award every year too.

Strange has had a great year but Galvin has done it with a lot less to work with. There are really only 3 - 4 reliable players around him on any given week. Imo what's even more remarkable is Galvin's played like this with a coach with absolutely no experience who in reality the jury is still out on. There have been a whole host of young players who could win it in all honesty. I'm biased no doubt but Galvin has had the chips stacked against him all year and still really shone. He overplays his hand and has an error in him but I can't stone the kid for it no doubt he feels it's his responsibility and that will take time for him to learn. Great thing about him not winning it is not as much pressure on him next year with the rookie of the year tag.

There should be a difference between intentional and not. Biting definitely would be an issue, and while a hip-drop is dangerous, it's often not intentional.
So retracting a yearly award for a split-second accident, while negligent, is a bit rough.

Started on fire finished the last third of the year very quiet... Think he was carrying an injury.. Saw him in the box with sticky one recent game
