Analysis Brownlow Medal banter - frock-up, raise that Crownie and join us for all the glamour

[Hodgey 15]

Priddis seems like a fairly unassuming guy .Good on him for the win!!

 

[Matt Stevic]

Happy for Matt Priddis. Does work his guts out and gets no media.

Doesn't even get any love from his own supporters. A good honest player, which is more than we can say for Selwood, Franklin, Judd and Ablett.

Congrats.

 

[BobHawk]

Thought J Lewis polled OK and think Rough has polled the most votes in his career. Also, W Langford 1 vote (with many more to come)

 

[Pessimistic]

Kinda almost want Buddy to win so all the talk is about that before we win the GF

And do the guys head in.

Gf has grown a fat head, must be the TV effect

 

[Max Powers]

Congrats to Priddis on the win, wouldnt have picked it myself but there you go.

 

[Hawkk]

I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet but between Buddy, Kennedy and McGlynn they polled more votes than all Hawthorn FC players combined. Heck not only the Syds 1, 2 and 3 but our best poll drew the same votes as the MyGlynn

The ultimate troll

How the * did we have an almost identical home and away season

 

[ScottMaginness]

Well done Matt Priddis.
Still scratching my head over Dangerfield getting more than twice as many votes as Sloane.

 

[bungholes_premiers]

Love it. ... selwood had a blinder last round against us and got donuts

 

[marklar]

Well done Priddis, happy to see a decent bloke win this year.

So three ex Hawthorn players polled more for the Swans than all pf players put together?

Hilarious. But there in might lie the key why we have a very good chance this weekend.

 

[Brishawk]

Well done priddis. A surprise but good reward for consistency. Lewis deserved a better return but would never have got 26 votes.

 

[Gralin]

More proof that the Umpires have no freakin clue but then again the Brownlow is an individual award which does not have anything to do with team play unlike the sport of AFL

Just means that we are a more even team which is a good thing. I also think we had a tougher fixture and some close ones where opposition players polled well. Sydney had more games against the minnows but having said that I don't see our blokes trying to get cheap stats when playing lesser teams. Bottom line is we play better team footy and have less reliance on the few.

Thanks for the laughs tonight, people. Been fun.

So, does having blonde curly hair can win you Brownlow votes?

And Fyfe as well!

 

[Sixpence]

18 different vote getters amongst the Hawks! That's an amazing effort, even if I don't really rate the Brownlow.

Robbie needs to shave his head or get a wig.

I really feel for Shane Woewodin. The poor bloke did bugger all in his career and the only thing he achieved was "Worst Brownlow medal winner of all time", but now that's been ripped from around his neck and given to a vanilla, nothing player.

On the plus side. Jonathan Simpkin has just realised he's a chance for the 2015 Brownlow.

 

[Thaihawk]

Congrats Matt Pridis. I don't know how you did it, but I am happy for you, and happy the favs didn't win.
That's the individual award out of the way, now for the team award. Go Hawks; A repeat of round 18 would be delicious.

 

[Hawks1994]

Very deserved win by Priddis.

Has been a terrific and very underrated for many years

Congratulations Matt Priddis!!

 

[Upgrayedd]

He's a flawed player but he's probably the best at what he does, Win contested possessions and tackling. Just cant kick the thing

Im loving the fact he won it, Awesome night, Great guy as well,

 

[Argy]

Well done Matt Priddis. A very consistent player and a guy who showed how humble he was when accepting the medal.

 

[The BIG X]

Notice Ablett could not lift his arm to put the medal over Pridas head.

It's still a problem

That there says it all.. Speaks absolute volumes.
I'm not sure how many we have played this year, but 18 vote getters would have to be around half of the players this year.
A Champion TEAM..

Liam Shiels is a big chance for the Brownlow next year.
