Game Day 2019 Brownlow- Us & the rest

[Liam Boy]

Very deserving winner in Fyfe.

Higgins polled a lot more than I thought he would.

Cunnington unders....same with Goldstein.

Cunnington is just a workhorse who gets the job done week after week. Makes perfect sense that Shaun Higgins, with his flair and skill is the one the umpires notice.

 

[Marstermind]

I dunno. I goal umpire in local footy and most weeks the field umpires don't know or can't agree. And they don't have the pressure of AFL guys. They simply aren't watching for who's playing well. Half the time they aren't even aware of the score. Fyfe, Dangerfield, Cripps et al are all wonderful players, but it's safe to just vote for them without really analysing who was most influential. Interesting that the coaches had Bontempelli as clear best and Cunnington in the Top 10 but neither got anywhere near winning.

Time to get with it for the Brownlow.

The undisputed 3 best players of the last 50 years didn't win the thing, so that gives you an idea about the people who designate this award.

But as many have said on this board, Higgo took a massive dive this year and had some pretty ordinary games.

Tbh, unless a North players wins an award, I could care less. However, on this occasion. I am going to enjoy s**t teasing my Carlton supporting mates about this. “Cripps is the GOAT” “Crippa is the man”, Lol. Those Nuffies thought he had it in the bag. Somebody even changed his Wikipedia page, to say ‘2019 Brownlow Medalist’ halfway through the Brownlow lol.

Duck, Lethal and God???

This award should be renamed The Brownlow Midfielders medal, it is only them that the whistleblowers prefer.

 

[Shermanator]

Yeah he really ought to have had a look of despair on his face.

He just won his second Brownlow, dude.

Mate this bloke makes documentaries of himself doing preseason with NFL teams to promote his ‘brand’. Fyfe ‘brand’ first, team second..

At least I know we’re only competing with 16 other teams for a flag because Freo will never win one with him as their skipper..

 

[Boomerfan99]

Is there any other sport, where a team that doesn’t make the finals and the coach gets sacked, has a player winning the MVP award?

 

[king rising]

Fyfe is a champion player and deserving winner. Would’ve loved to have him play at our club.

Not even a midfielder medal. Cunnington is the midfielder who has become a contested beast. He got less than 1/3 of the votes of the winner. Ricky Henderson got as many. 10 votes. No North bias here. Higgins 18 is ridiculous. Be a midfielder, get it on the outside, use it well, have a high profile. Otherwise forget it. Totally stupid award.

Ben Jacobs when fit , has beaten the last 3 Brownlow winners when he played as their direct opponents . Let that sink in .

 

[Snake_Baker]

I think Higgins' 18 votes is the best s

It's just another marketing exercise.

It's won by "product friendly" players these days.

I expect Fyfe will launch a complete range of designer cosmetics later in the week.

Last time he played on Fyfe he couldn't stop him.

MLB.

Roving Brian..or BT.......or Beats

!

 

[DarwinRoo]

Higgins played 3 less games, didn’t make the AA squad at all, played in a side that was considerably worse the first half of the season than 2018 and still polled more votes this year than last year.

 

[deano28]

Last time he played on Fyfe he couldn't stop him.

Pretty sure Jacobs got the 3 votes

 

[ferball]

..did I miss s**t for brains?

Rompingwins.

 

[darko]

Not sure but Fyfe did get 30+

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Cunners criminally underrated.

Fyfe was a deserving winner, he was fantastic all year. He leads from the front with his effort and preparation. He gets the footy on the inside/outside and is strong in the air. Can’t really fault him as a footballer. Yeah he fancies himself a bit, but he isn’t on Dangerfield level. That bloke needs to upper cut himself. Flog of epic proportions.

Would be nice if they had to change the voting structure so it wasn’t so midfielder orientated.

 

[Waussie]

Where is Hrovat’s invite?

In the mail

 

[Marstermind]

The scoring system is precisely as it was in the early 30s. Total anachronism.

The action of attributing something to a period to which it does not belong.

So apt.
