JOE GRANT MEDALISTS OF PAST

The Joe grant medal is awarded to the player that was best on ground in the qafl grand final for the past 27 years and there has been some good ones and some really bad decisions by the voters in my honest opinion. One of the best was Tony Lynns effort in the 2002 grand final against the raging hot favourites in southport. He had and absolute day out that day and led his side so well to their first flag in their history. I think he something like 34 touches and kicked a couple of goals and kept running all day.



The worst in my opinion



2000. The best on ground medal was given to Maclucky from southport. But everyone at the ground that watched that game that day all thought Nick Reiwoldt was clearly best on ground by some way. Jason Cotter threw Reiwoldt into the ruck after half time and rooy did his thing and he turned the game on it's head. He started to domminate the ruck which Charman had won all day and never looked like he was going to get beaten either. He won the game for southport but he still didn't get the medal

2006. Dane Carmody won the mexdal and everyone again that watched that game were pretty much shocked at the decision. Clint watts was clearly the best player on the ground that day and for some reason he wasn't even given many votes to be named the best on ground. Once crowley threw him in the middle the game changed and he was the one that got the sharks going and he was by far a better player than carmordy was on that day

The voting pannel probably consists of people that are just ass lickers that don't have a clue about the game all the time
