2025 Brownlow Medal

[Altum Volantes]

Maybe this is leading us into the Grand Final breakfast

I've been waiting for my eggs for 45 minutes already dammit!

 

[HawkMongrel]

That's enoigh for me. Hamish McLoughlin is an embarrassment.

Never forget that this once happened

 

[Worm4]

Yet still hasn't won one because he is not good enough.

Always someone just a little bit better.
Judd won a brownlow in his 3rd year..

 

[Reign Man]

My school was big on gang fights.

nice brag

 

[satty]

He probably wrote that speach when he was 9.

Ummm, I disagree with your, Ummm statement .

 

[carlton_99]

That was the pre-speech!!!

 

[RAPPA]

No wonder Rowell had that notebook 5 years ago

To start drafting his eventual Brownlow speech

How many “umms” in the notebook you reckon?

 

[Elixuh]

This is awesome, Rowelly doing activations

 

[Obzerva]

For those being critical of the speech; give it a few hours, a few beers and the breakfast tv version.

It's hard to believe the Brownlow could have become even more farcical than it previously was, yet they somehow found a way with that NWM blunder. Jeepers creepers.

4 umpires WTF

 

[My Tilly]

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

Was he really a standout though?
Not that I think Rowell was either but it's not as if Nick had a truly dominant season like we have seen from many before him.

 

[Leon]

Maybe this is leading us into the Grand Final breakfast

Or next year’s Brownlow.

There is definitely going to be an Ummm counter on YouTube by tomorrow morning .

 

[Plugger35]

If you had a drinking game every time Rowell says um you would be paralytic right now.

 

[russ]

um this um that

NO midfielder out there gets tagged as heavily as nick does on a weekly basis . He still fights his way through that and performs at an elite level on a weekly basis, especially for someone of his age.

Nothing will change for nick in the coming years,even as the side changes around him.

I mostly agree with that, but not like he's so far ahead of the comp and it's only a matter of time. There's a decent chance he'll never win one, which is okay. The list of great players who have never won one is far longer than the ones who have.

 

[Elixuh]

I reckon next year we tease king Nick against and give the Brownlow to Bont

 

[DenieD]

Rowell makes me believe that I could one day do public speaking.

 

[conrad_437]

If Australia had the responsibility of looking after awards in world football, Pele, Maradona and Messi would never have won best player in any year.

This award is a joke by any standard.

But who cares? It's literally an award based on the umpire's view of who was best on ground. Theoretically it's from people who shouldn't have a clear bias.

There's coaches awards, players awards, media awards, awards for heckin'g everything these days. It's not like the Brownlow is the only one and we are forced to accept that now Matt Rowell was the best performed player of the year.

It's an excuse for the league to make a bit of a song and dance and a celebration. People shouldn't care about who wins it nearly as much as they do.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

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.

Not sure his time will come if it hasn’t already.

They’ve won plenty of matches & without other mids to take votes off him.

It’s only downhill from here for Collingwood & Nick sadly.

GNWPOAT

Greatest non-winning player of all time?

 

[Spirit Level]

Um

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

I dunno how anyone can watch this. I saw the last 4 rounds then switched off.
