Initially I was disappointed with how the Tigers polled. But on reflection I thought. If anyone thinks that there isn't a Tiger player, particularly in the leadership group who wouldn't give the Charlie a very distant 2nd place to a Premiership isn't really thinking. We are putting together a team who can contribute evenly to the ultimate goal. That goal flys in the face of individual awards. It doesn't completely oppose it but does move in a different direction to individual standouts. Having said that, there are always exceptions...
 
God I hate the Brownlow. Since our last one every proper team's won it bar us, some multiple times. And that includes when we were playing in GFs and making the top 4. It's like a conspiracy, even the frickin Bears and Suns have won one.
 
Matt Priddis is one of the most underrated midfielders in the comp, possible the most underrated. Becuase he doesnt have the speed like Judd, the skills of Ablett, or the smoothness of pendlebury, he goes under the radar - the fact that Ablett racks up 3 votes for games that other players wouldnt get a vote in is the problem with the modern day brownlow. (but the issue with the brownlow are for another thread)

He is the engine that makes a midfield tick - his role is exactly what Cotch does for Richmond, but Cotchin, again, dropped off during certain times of the year, which is why he hasnt won a brownlow yet - he had a few games toward the end of the year where he got 15-16 possessions. he needs to be getting 25 possessions minimum for a brownlow to be draped around his neck, because he influences games, not just racks up high numbers.

Since our last Brownlow only Ablett and Priddis have saluted.

the excitement was off the dial when the last rounds votes were being counted...
 
Funny thing is that FitzFatPrick had the a run down on his stats to justify why he won it...lmaoooo....sheeeeeeeesh.....fast forward 10 years and here is little Johhny looking at the honour roll and asks hey dad who won it in 2014 and his dad looks and says no one cares Johhny...

Lol at Hansen getting 3 in the bolded game when North lost by 43 points.
