2014 Brownlow Medal

[ossie_21]

When you see him on the street you'd never suspect he's an AFL player, so average looking.

I seen him at a strip club once, does that count?

 

[Mutt]

He does seem like a top bloke though. Good on him.

Agree - the best Brownlow interview and speech for a few years. Seems like a humble and genuine good bloke. Congrats Matt.

At least it wasn't Ablett again. Grand finals last 5 years have been as predictable as hell, at least we've got a brownlow medalist from left field. Macrae next year anyone?

Hell if Priddis can win a Brownlow I'm having a fluff on Picken next year.

In saying that loved his interview seems a nice humble bloke.

Best since Adam "Burger Ring" Cooney.

Were the staff using him as a mop?

I think it was his hairs job to wipe down the pole........

The moral of the story is, if you eat your crusts you too can win the brownlow.

Congratulations Matthew Priddis
And to channel seven for slotting a world record number of Ads into a 3 hour period.

 

[Tommycash]

Who was the chap with loads on Macrae to be our top vote getter. Well done on that one!

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Congrats Matt Priddis good bloke deserved the win.

 

[TMoney22]

Our version of Boydy. Good on him

 

[Some Idiot]

Can't not be happy that one of the hardest working players in the comp won it rather than someone flashy that doesn't work as hard

 

[Oor Wally]

Good player and good bloke, deserved his win

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Glad Priddis won it.

We're due for at least 3 more hours of Franklin and Roughead foaming from Bruce, Dennis and co., so we can be thankful for a hard working, honest bloke winning the Brownlow and sparing us 20 minutes of Selwood/Dangerfield/Fyfe gushing.

Well done to Jack Macrae on topping the tables at the Dogs. He had an outstanding year for his age, and he's going to get better and better. Star.

For what it's worth, Tom Scully was paid $1m for each of his votes tonight.

Wow Priddis, and he is the West Coast board whipping boy

 

[HiReception]

If Priddis wins the Brownlow, I'll eat my own dick

CUNGRATCHULASHONS MRS DALE4CAPTAIN!

Another midfielder wins but at least it wasn't from a top 8 club (or Gazza). I guess that's a little bit different.

For those contemplating a bet on the 2015 Brownlow bookmark the lesson from tonight: high possession winners impress the umpires and often outpoll the supposedly better players.

The highest possession getter was also the highest (or equal highest) vote getter at 11 of the 18 clubs. Most of these were predictable but a couple were mild surprises (Macrae, Boak). The seven top vote winners who were not highest possession getters at their club were:

Fyfe (Mundy was club's highest possession winner - 2nd in club's brownlow votes)
Ablett (Prestia 2nd)
Ward (Treloar 3rd)
Harvey (dalSanto 4th)
Cotchin (Ellis 3rd)
N Riewoldt (Montagna 2nd)
Franklin (Kennedy 2nd)​

Apart from Riewoldt and Franklin everyone was of course a midfielder.

The Brownlow winner Matt Priddis was not deemed good enough to be in the AA side (wonder when that last happened?) but he WAS the competition's leading possession getter after 23 rounds.

drinks on you mate?

Sweet. Meet you at the oxford tavern on Canterbury road tonight.

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

Kind of makes me wonder how Scott West never won the thing, even once, but good on him.

He was robbed by the worst winner in history.

How Shane Woewodin collected a Brownlow is one of life's great mysteries.

Good point although Heppell probably should have finished top 3 if you were going off pure ball getters and not A grade talent.

I think Danger is a HUGE chance for next year. Standout player in a midfield with very little depth (similar to Priddis). If he plays 20% better (which I dare say he will at least do if he's not hurt) he can comfortably pole 30+ votes.

Fool of a fronk, you line their pockets first! Chocolates are best on my side, tell her as she s chewing on one and her eyes are rolling into the back of her head.
