Brownlow 2023 AFL Brownlow Medal

[The Slug]

Yea ijg 50 bucks down the drain cos the umpires are too ****** blind to give Sincs ANY votes after he had 37 and 2 and pretty much won us the game.

Mind boggling that they could miss him entirely. Was clear BOG

 

[kernelT]

Bontempelli
Petracca
Anderson

Staggering what could've been.

Serong
Cripps
Rozee

 

[Joffaboy]

Bontempelli
Petracca
Anderson

Staggering what could've been.

Only real regret is Petracca, Bont was a speculator and Anderson was never on the radar.

Horne Francis. Umpires have capped off a putrid year with some genuinely putrid votes.
Sinclair's 37 and 2 almost Greg Williams like.
Congrats to Neal. Will go down in history as a superstar. But let’s be honest. He shouldn’t have won.

 

[saintbill]

Bont and Daicos where the most unlucky. Daicos was ridiculous this year.

He a couple of goes he was really robbed. 39 possessions and 2 goals for no votes. Neale 20 possies 3 votes.

That is the Brownlow swing tight there.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Worst dual Brownlow Medalist ever?

 

[HunterClarksHeadband]

F*ckin' lame result, but hey... a couple nice votes for young Nas !! Love him. Going to be a star

 

[DougalHoward]

Almost as bad as last years where Cripps shouldn't have been eligible

 

[mighty_sainters]

Steele polled well, surprisingly.

 

[Plugger35]

Sinclair needs to play more midfield to be a chance of winning a Brownlow, the umpires give most of their votes to the full time midfielders.

Marshall polled SFA votes as I predicted despite having a great year, even Tim English didn't poll many votes and he was the AA ruckman.

It's just a midfielders award these days, the good old days of a key forward like Lockett or a ruckman like Stynes winning one are long gone.

Lucky the umpires are clean skins because you'd swear they were taking money on some of these results.

Mate, the umps are absolutely cleaning UP with this stuff.

Bookies don't care because whatever they loose to the umpire connections, they win back 100x over from mug punters.

 

[L_W_P]

Almost as bad as last years where Cripps shouldn't have been eligible

In hindsight, it's almost like the umpires felt like they needed to make it up to Lachie...

 

[saintbill]

Can the umps check stats after the game? I thought they could.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Bontempelli robbed in favour of a repeat stager and umpires pet.

What a chode of a comp

 

[DougalHoward]

He went and got that terrible swallow tatt too what was he thinking

Actually so did bont now that I think of it

 

[Plugger35]

Let's face it the Brownlow Medal has been a joke since Robert Harvey won back to back Brownlows in 97/98, the last 2 legit Brownlows imo.

 

[mad-saint-guy]

Did they get Phillipou confused with Mitch Owens??

That was my reaction when I looked back at the stats as well. It's possible

 

[Jezzarayman]

Not as bad as the Horne-Francis one.

Rd 14 - 13 disposals. 7 clangers. No score. 41 SC points

3 votes

That is horrific

 

[George]

Not as bad as the Horne-Francis one.

Rd 14 - 13 disposals. 7 clangers. No score. 41 SC points

3 votes

Amartey was subbed off at half time in one game and got 3 votes lmao

 

[Sully111]

Would love Neale at the Saints.

Reckon he'll play a blinder on Saturday

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Would have every other player in the top 10 before Neale.

 

[jwikked]

Everyone spends all year talking about the incompetence of the umpires but then gets surprised on Brownlow Medal night when they get it wrong?

It’s bizarre the Brownlow is still considered the highest individual award in the AFL. Coaches votes is a more impressive win. Maybe they need to lock the coaches votes up until the end of the year and have that event televised instead.

 

[bergholt]

Surprised Peris missed out on votes for his one and only senior game

 

[gringo2011]

Bontempelli
Petracca
Anderson

Staggering what could've been.

******* Dean Anderson should get sacked from the board for not playing enough games for us.That said I'm a massive Anderson fan but Bont and Petracca are on another level still.

If you had to pick guys to win you a match you're going Bont or Petracca. He should come on and join them in a few years but the Brownlow is a very inexact science. Most years the best player doesn't win it.

Unless you get hyped like Daicos. It's a midfielders award unless you get enough hype.


I reckon for impact no player did more for their side than Curnow this year.
