2025 Brownlow Medal

[SaintBenny]

Heeney a late entry for BOG tonight.

Damn I need a gif of him realising he's on camera..

 

[Blues_Man]

So Rowell has won based off the 9 BS votes he got early in the year.

Umps every year prove they're clueless.

You are saltier than the collingwood flogs

 

[EagleShore]

For all the criticism of Dillon this year, and much of it fairly warranted, he did a good job of reading votes tonight. Fast, not too much nonsense holding back of names, good effort I thought.

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Bont 25 votes is crazy. Umps absolutely love him.

 

[RAPPA]

That’s it Goyter, give the 2nd place ribbon to Nicky

 

[hoss]

Fantastic result and well deserved winner. Don't like the way Daicos tries to umpire the games himself.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Great win M Rowell!

Never one to shirk it… like ummmm

 

[TW Sherrin]

Was Laura Kane in charge of voting?

 

[ThePhantom777]

It’s been shaky for a few years but tonight is 100% the death of the Brownlow

RIP

The over saturated AFL media contributes. We love the footy but it's not big enough for the amount of coverage it gets so we get a lot of fluff and

 

[Donakebab]

The votes are skewed to the top few mids as it is, but Rowell is an absolute gun with huge impact on the game, so it's not like it's a bad call.

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

Worthy winner, well done to Rowell he’s an absolute beast! Getting hard balls and being under packs is where the game is won

 

[MJG14]

Goyder off to a flier! Stumbling through this speech like a geriatric.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

How did this hack end up as a chairman of anything?

Nepotism

Andrew Dillon's first time holding a beer clearly.

 

[The King!]

Andrew Dillon asleep?

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Only 4 tackles--- work harder

1 behind what an amatuer

 

[teknodeejay]

You do realise it’s not a contested game anymore?

Rowell is just a harder, better player overall
A true leader by example

 

[The King!]

Andrew Dillon's first time holding a beer clearly.

Like Tom Cruise acting drunk

 

[asanque]

Take the Brownlow away from the umpires.
The non 3 to NWM v Dees was the icing on the cake.

Edit: These were the umpires
Jeff Dalgleish (7), Nicholas Brown (13), Martin Rodger (37), James Strybos (43)

Second Edit: Jamie Broadbent was in both games where Rowell got 3 in rounds 4 and 7 (17 and 16 disposals)

: This Is Your Life. What is this? Just let the guy be interviewed and get it over with.

[doofdoof]

The umpires 100% need to sit down and watch the game without commentary in full immediately post game prior to giving their votes.

The Brownlow is a farce.

Rowell had 15 touches, 125 metres gained. 2 votes.

NWM had 34 touches, kicked 4 goals and won the game. 2 votes.

 

[satty]

Daicos doesnt win - pies fans say the medal has no credibility
Loving the narrative...

We were ok with cripps winning it , he actually carried your side.

There have been numerous games where matt rowell did not deserve votes. He polled umpires votes in games where he received no coaches votes.

 

[JHF1870]

Award will always be a bit of fluff

Round 22 vs Dockers, Aliir was a standout defender and didn't get a single vote.

Ratugulea standout game got 1 vote.

 

[BratPack]

At this point, why don't we just stuff the umps next year and let VolKaneo pick the winner? It'd be just as much of a joke
