yep...another well deserved award for Nick Sautner...he certainly has his knockers.....but all he has to do is put up one hand and count the amount of premierships he has won....and very few players can say they have played in 5 winning senior premierships..

Ok, Billy, you wanted it. He's a good footballer, but not a great footballer. Wouldn't hold a candle to the full forwards of the 70s and 80s.

Congratulations Nick Sautner, he has certainly got the most out of his ability imo. Certainly one of the most notable forwards in recent VFA/VFL history.

Totally different game It is time the VFL makes its own history. It is like comparing chalk and cheese. A number of VFA players would not last 5 minutes in the modern era.

Some of todays "athletes" would shit themselves if they had come up against some of the hardmen in those days.
