2025 Brownlow Medal

[TheUnicorn]

So many um’s

 

[Plugger35]

A worthy winner, Rowell is a good old fashioned footballer, sometimes the umpires get it right.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Most kids should be in bed by now.

They're allowed to stay up for the Brownlow.

 

[tigs2010]

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.

In fairness he had 4 more tackles in that game than Nick's season tally.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Umpires must have got Anderson and him confused.

More posts about Daicos than the winner, keep being salty lads.

Daicos and Brownlows is starting to become like Arsenal, always coming in 2nd. (Source: Am Arsenal fan)

Nick Daicos - Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

League would love the controversy - brings so many clicks

If that's the case, they should have an option to watch the telecast with like Gorringe or Cornes, or a punting tragic bagging the crap out of the votes, rather than the sanitised, gun pointing at the hosts off camera that we currently get about "A stunning start to the night by Rowell."

I have no problem with him winning, I just can't stand the inflated vote tallies we get nowadays, which pretty much take all the excitement out of the count. Rowell just made the bench in the AA team. He probably won't win his club B&F. He wasn't top five in the AFLPA MVP. In fairness, he was third place in the AFLCA award, but eff me... that's not a 39 effing vote season.

What a stinker of a thread. Lot of very brave couch potatoes in here.

 

[PerthBoy86]

at least Nick has a GF this weekend to console himself with

Elliot's arms were viciously chopped and he was tunnelled by big bad Starc, that reversed the Pies' momentum, who were on their way to a certain victory. Would have pantsed the Cats in the granny too.

How is the great Sheezel's career vote tally going?

 

[SizeMatters]

Why do they keep showing Nicky in the crowd sulking? His time will come, but most pundits agree he didn't deserve it this year. I'm surprised he even got more than 20 votes - but he does get the 30% vote Daicos bonus.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Weirdly Daicos is more likely to win when the Pies have a middling year- he had blokes nicking votes whereas let’s be real with GC it’s the two obvious ones and maybe King if he kicks a bucket.

Daicos a better chance over the next two years when the Pies drop a bit

 

[Xtreme]

Okay so you’re a ****wit. Thanks for letting me know so I can ignore your takes going forward.

 

[HairyO]

I switched on towards the end and all I saw was a bunch of drunks acting like clowns.
You don't have to get drunk. You don't have to drink at all.
It would be good if at least a few didn't drink.

Who could stay sober through 4 hours of this shit. Its cruel and unusual punishment.

 

[mumblingpie]

Congrats Rowell

1st final win and 1st Brownlow, the AFL will be happy, especially Curnow next Season in GC jersey who will actually have players who are capable of actually kicking the ball to him properly

 

[parano1a]

Does Gold Coast, um, offer its players, um, media training?

 

[Rusty Beam]

The umpires don't just select for midfielders, they almost exclusively give it to one specific type of midfielder

View attachment 2434556

Rowell is the latest in a long line of inside midfield, contested ball winning, clearance machines getting the award

No other type has a real chance

Absolutely.

Until that list I had completely forgotten that Bontempelli hadn’t won a Brownlow too. Unbelievable.

 

[pjcrows]

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

By knowing where his bread is buttered, like every corporate Chairperson.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Maybe he was following Djokovic in Wimbledon.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Is this an episode of Unfiltered? Gee wizz we're gonna be here until midnight.

 

[BFew]

Most kids should be in bed by now.

The school ovals won't need mowing this week.
The kids will be eating the grass.

Good to see your team having the worst season in AFL history hasn’t dampened your enthusiasm for the game and you are still here posting on Brownlow night.

 

[ThePhantom777]

Nick looks genuinely filthy

I think anyone would be if they had 70 votes over two seasons and finished 2nd twice.
