Bringing in Mick to win a flag lol

I wonder if Judd and Ablett were looking at another Brownlow but had a contentious suspension lingering threatening to impede their win? You wonder if they'd modify the rules in the lead up. On that subject imagine if Rocky were to win this year and they played footage of the suspensions that cost him throughout the night. How could anyone take the suspension clause seriously?

To be fair Rocky has been suspended twice.

Docherty with the crowd killer, how costly

Trigg.

brownlow medal night will be very interesting this year

Both of them as ridiculous as each other.

Tell me about how handcuffs casboult has the best hands in league.

Gotta love how this guy's first order of business after the loss was to come here.

Docherty's match-losing shank must have put him into immediate damage control and sent him running to the Brisbane board. Says plenty.

Ouch

No doubt.

They wouldn't get suspended in the first place. Miraculously get off if cited.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

don't even ban him, it's better him posting

 

[carnthemlions]

Docherty! Thanks for bringing us genuine lol's.

The Brisbane related meltdown on the Carlton board is delicious.

$12million debt lol

something something Steven Trigg

Docherty, Casboult and Wood with the finale. All so delicious.

That said, Fremantle look absolutely cooked. Hopefully they're still playing like this in a couple of weeks.

Ross won't have the luxury of resting anyone this year. Top 4 too tight. Walking wounded, I smell a win.

After last time I'd take a 5 goal loss to be honest

You're right though, they're going to need to go hard every game to make sure they finish top 4. If he did happen to need to give someone a rest it'd be our game though - long flight + Geelong, Hawthorn and Port as their other 3 is a bloody tough run.

Lyon's presser is pretty good value at the moment, seems relieved but understands their plight.

3 Spoons in 5 years.

Not bad also hey?

Fyfe certain to win the brownlow despite being ineligible IMO.

great player

 

[MacMum]

I like the current B + F guidelines for the Brownlow....but I think it needs to be tweeked a bit...only a bit, but it's an important bit imo.

Once a player has been suspended, they should not be included in any further match votes....its so simple, and would stop all these discussions every year about who will get votes but can't win, and/or backdating etc..

That is all that needs changing. I think for such a prestigious medal, it should be for B + F.

 

[Caiphus]

I think they should just be ineligible for votes in the match they have gotten the MRP infraction for. Obviously they are going to miss out on votes for any games they are suspended for too. I don't have any problem with it being for the best and fair enough rather than the best and fairest.

 

[Viceregal]

Considering how much of thug you used to need to be to get suspended as opposed to now - not sure that getting suspended is actually a blight on your fair character the way it might have been ... unless of course they decide to add precedent to the MRP thus allowing *everyone* to plays to come under the same rules etc...

Kind of like the no points in suspended matches/the one you get suspended in idea - makes the punishment far more fitting to the crime.

The whole Best and Fairest thing is a bit under 12s for me.
It's not an amateur sport any more.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Pretty sure they will revise the rules next year. The Golden Child nearly getting suspended scared the absolute hell out of the AFL.

 

[Ironmonger]

The Brownlow itself is a bit of an anachronism. Who cares what the umpires think anymore?

That said, there seems to be very little left in the game that hasn't been made unrecognisable over the last few decades. I know there've been different rules in the past but the Brownlow has been the same at least since I started following footy.

So I'd keep the rules exactly as they are, for the novelty value if nothing else.

Now there's a contradiction for you.

How many so far have Doc's coach killer shanks cost Carlton the game?

When has an umpire demonstrated they know anything about the game. Certainly hasnt been any evidence recently.
