2023 Brownlow Medal

[dangerwood]

Be interested to see how Bont goes in the last game against us, I thought he was BOG. He did little taps and knock ons that don't show on stat sheets but he was brilliant.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Interesting ending ..

 

[And_ROOS]

Anyone but Collingwood is the mantra this week.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Guilden ...close .
Neale = gold ..

 

[Reg Hickey]

This is BS. Neale is getting way more votes than he should. Gulden should win, but won’t.

 

[cats_09]

Neale will have this from here

 

[rocker_oz33]

Last round .

 

[Reg Hickey]

Gulden 3…

 

[Reg Hickey]

How the **** did Gulden get only one for 42 touches and 2 goals??

 

[rocker_oz33]

42 touches =1 vote

 

[rocker_oz33]

Wow thought Bont had a better year ..bit rigged ...

 

[Reg Hickey]

That really sucks. There is no way in hell Neale deserved that many votes in the last 3 rounds. I really feel for Bont.

That's one more than Kelly got for his 41 disposal game against Brisbane

That really sucks. There is no way in hell Neale deserved that many votes in the last 3 rounds. I really feel for Bont.

Sucks for Mr Bont ...

 

[Baudolino]

Damn, I feel conflicted here. Mostly I'm just glad that Daicos didn't win, because of how undeserved it would have been.

That said, I'm a bit gutted for Bont, who IMO was easily the best player this year.

 

[Romeoh1]

Crikey-Neale good, but not that good. Bont ripped off. Ah well, good luck to Neale.

[Reg Hickey]

There have been some shithouse Brownlow results over the years, but this one is right up there. Bont and Gulden both deserved to finish ahead of Neale.

This

 

[And_ROOS]

42 disposals and 2 goals good enough for Goulden to get 1 vote, Petracca 29 and 1 goal no votes, but Viney 29 disposals is 3 votes.

Goulden got dicked.

 

[SkittleCats]

Bont ripped off, but how Gulden didnt get 3 votes from a 42 disposal 2 goal game is gonna need some explaining.

 

[Reg Hickey]

Back in the 80s there was massive controversy when Diesel didn’t get a vote for a 40 disposal game in the last round and lost by 1 or 2… this Gulden thing is just as bad if not worse.

The pomp and ceremony of the award hides that it is just an public exercise demonstrating that over time that the umpire fraternities' object permanence has decreased by a notable margin.

No mids in the top 5 for us is both absolutely telling and criminal.
