We don't want them.

Fantastic effort Dan26.

Pendlebury is a great player but not in the discussion for GOAT. That doesn't matter and neither does it lower his standing in the game. He could have easily won a second Norm Smith medal because his last quarter won Collingwood the GF. He was magnificent. For me he is in the top echelon of...

Verdun Howell won the Brownlow, tying with Bob Skilton, in 1959 and he was the Saint Kilda fullback.

In round 10 of 1993, Greg Williams (Carlton v Melbourne) had 44 disposals and did not receive any votes. Wanganeen won the medal with 18 votes and Williams was joint second with 17 votes. Williams should be a 3 time winner.

You are correct and IMO Kouta was BOG in the 1995 GF.

I would replace Swan McKay with our first Brownlow medallist Bert Deacon.

It has to be Collingwood in 1970. Finished on top 2 games clear of Carlton. Beat Carlton 3 times during the year including the 2nd Semi Final, and in Round 19 (I think) by nearly 80 points, prior to the Grand Final and were leading that game by 44 points at half time.

They won't sack him. Nearly every year a team will come from the clouds and jump into the 8 and sometimes the top 4. Freo are primed to do just that as long as they don't get decimated with injuries.

Just another Gil legacy, which I hope goes the way of the Dodo, but I doubt it because the AFL and its executives seem to only care about the bottom line.

You can add Essendon to that list because the 21st century began on 1 January 2001.

I noticed that and now after viewing the additional footage the best explanation is that the Swans players knew it was a goal. Footy is a hard game.

Ted Tyson played from 1930 to 1945. Playing in the VFL at that time was not a big deal. Haydyn Bunton left the VFL after winning 3 Brownlow's to play in WA where he won 3 Sandover's (the equivalent fairest and best award). So the VFL was not the be all and end all competition. Learn your history.

I totally agree because that is what footy is all about. It's disappointing to make finals and fall at the final hurdle but the journey can be exhilarating and memorable.

Yep Kouta in 2000. It's a disgrace that he didn't win the Brownlow. I thought he was easily B.O.G in 10 games.

I find the constant booing of this young man untenable. It really demonstrates what an unsavory lot of so called footy fans now attend matches. I hated the Goodes booing and I hate this.

Thanks for this. I thought when I read the thread that it was codswallop and now I know for sure.

Early days to make this call. Freo probably paid overs but it was Jackson going into the centre square that turned the 2021 Grand Final. He should be the number 1 ruck.

Ted Tyson playing for West Perth kicked 1197 goals in 228 games at an average of 5.25 per game. He is never mentioned in these discussions.

Spot on Bunk. Maybe the drafting age needs to be raised to 20.

I agree with almost everything that you wrote other than it being special if the Blues make the finals. It won't be special if we don't win the flag.

No one really knows except for Collingwood and JDG and his management. However, if you listen to the scuttlebutt, the behavioural clauses were just general in nature with no guidance as to what would constitute when and how these could be exercised. So a minor indiscretion may result in a...

Agreed. Not that long ago my team were awful and looked like they weren't trying. At least the Bombers look like they care. Maybe they will try a different game plan now that Harry Jones is back. He looked awesome in the first half last week.

It is one of the greatest goals, no doubt. The indigenous players all seem to have that x factor and when they turn it on it's magical. A few posters have mentioned T.I. (Stephen Michael) and how great he was. It is a pity he never had the desire to play VFL because he would have shown the...
