Ok, so ARUSBN what you are saying is that because Naitanui did a few good little magic tricks in glimpses of the second quarter, he deserves the spot as no.1 ruckman for the round because he usually does sweet eff all every other week, hence what you refer to as "expectations".

I would like to point out the flaw in you saying that ARUSBN. On a larger scale of your argument you are saying that because someone played the best game of all time who usually plays like a dead fish, they should win the Brownlow and not someone who played consistantly well for the whole season. Obviously this is not the same scenario, but its the same point that you are trying to make, just on a smaller scale.

Back in that legendary 2005 Grand Final of which all Freo supporters will treasure until the day of their deaths, Leo Barry saved the game for Sydney with that fantastic match-saving mark, and therefore won the game as you say Naitanui did on fridy night. But did he get the Norm Smith? No.

Sandilands was the most dominant ruckman in a very high class game of footy against the best defensive midfield in the comp. Naitanui was good for a couple of minutes in a game that had the standards of a pre-primary kick to kick game at recess. The guy has talent, he looks different, he plays for West Coast, enough to get the media in Perth pleasuring themselves. But something he lacks is a football brain... .now I could be wrong, but I think it might be important.
