Cooney is a good player. But not the best of this year. He joins Woewodin, Liberatore and Hardie as ...interesting...umpire selections.
Seems all Black has to do to get votes is run through the banner.
Gary realistically lost his chance at winning through injury. He missed 4 games, effectively 5 with the Dockers game when he did it, and that cut a chunk off his chances; it also took a game when coming back to get back into touch.
