I can name better players who never won a Brownlow, why do people continually overrate this award? It's decided by umpires FFS.

I reckon the heights he has hit are up there with anyone. If he can back it up for the next 5 years, I will probably agree with you.Dusty is #1
This is true - 100% trueI can name better players who never won a Brownlow, why do people continually overrate this award? It's decided by umpires FFS.
Tradition says no, and it's a great television event, but what makes it such a great television event is it's uncertainty (in the name of fairness) lol, fairness isn't a quality clubs or fans look for in footballers.This is true - 100% true
But its what weve got. So thats the thread.
Should be taken off the umpires.
Dusty wasn’t BOG in the GF. Anyway, Ablett, Judd and Goodes are multiple Brownlow medalists. Nobody else on the list has done that. Now that’s gotta mean somethingDusty is the only 1 who had a complete season as he won the norm Smith as well. Thats gotta mean something.
Also jab watson was s**t every other year apart from his drug year. Oh wait he isnt even a brownlow medalist. My mistake...

I thought winning a norm smith medal said that you were BOG in a grandfinal.. 1st guy in history to do it. What a ripperDusty wasn’t BOG in the GF. Anyway, Ablett, Judd and Goodes are multiple Brownlow medalists. Nobody else on the list has done that. Now that’s gotta mean something
you have always to put drug cheats at the bottom. if not for that, probably in the top 5 somewhere.
Not surprised you went there KoolAid.
Imagine how pissed you'd be if he was actually convicted of being a drug cheat.
Cotchin >>>>>>>>>> Pathetic Watson what did Jobe win in his career?
convicted yes
drug cheat yes
if only the AFL and the eagles had met the obligations of duty of care.......cuz might not be a zombie
Sadly, albeit self inflicted, Cuz is the victim in this. So no need to get defensive about one of the greats of the eagles or the AFL. As a society we need to learn from the past and look after those vulnerable rather than deny the past and rinse and repeat.
Did Watson even get close to a grand final as captain let alone even win a final at all?Yep ok at least Jobe didn’t gut punch players behind play yep what a captain Cotchin is.
Dusty won the Norm Smith, but I was surprised he did as in my estimation he was not BOGI thought winning a norm smith medal said that you were BOG in a grandfinal.. 1st guy in history to do it. What a ripper
