Ricciuto had 35 disposals with 5 goals, so I presume 3 votes can be taken from the table. Mark Stevens kicked 5 from 18 touches, so not an outrageous 2 vote polled. Perrie got 1 for 5 goals from 14 touches.

Brownlow votes are not just based on disposal aggregates.
McLeod had the finer game of all the players that day. Should have got 3 votes and was robbed, at worst should have got 2 to tie for the Brownlow.
Think it was the game vs freo where he should have probably polled but didn’t.
Freo was a 40 point loss from memory.
What? Firstly, you know the award is flawed, it's the umpires giving the votes, they can't judge who had a "finer game". And how is the fact that every vote went to a player with a 5 goal haul regarded as having anything to do with disposal aggregates? Stevens and Perrie had less than 20. If I'd listed 3 players with more touches, then that would be valid, but it's not. You mentioned the metrics by which you based your view, touches and goals, I simply provided the same for the polling players. Only Roo having more touches for your aggregate disposal claim to be valid.
Clearly the umpires in that game thought the goal kickers were more worthy of votes. Would be interested to see how often 5+ goal hauls are ignored by the umpires.

That's the mail yes.
Not even Scott is dumb enough to leave him forward almost all game.
How Macca didn’t get a Brownlow vote for his 37 possession and 1 goal game vs Freo in the R22 loss to Freo in 2001 still baffles me.

It's one of the greatest travesties of justice in the history of the medal - and it barely rated a mention in the VicMedia at the time.
But did you guys know Chris Grant and Corey McKernan should have won Brownlows? Not sure if you've ever heard about those ones
Yep this is the one I was thinking of 1970crow
40 point loss makes it hard. Peter Bell got it 44 times and licked 3 goals. Adrian Fletcher 33 and 1, Heath black 32 and 2. Probably deserved 1 or 2, but probably not far enough ahead of the other 2 to get past the size of the loss. Umpires are simple creatures.
Edit - in this context.
