Three BC players? They don't make the playoffs through the West and they get three nominees. I don't see the sense in that. I won't argue with Foley, but Mallett and Arakgi. I would have selected Armstead instead of Arakgi.

If Armstead was playing the whole year, I coudl see him nominated instead of Arakgi. Him joing at around Labour Day didn't help his chances. I don't think it will matter as Taylor will win it this year.

Congrats Chick!
