Universal Love 2023 Brownlow Medal

[Bluelegs]

No way Neale should be a two-time Brownlow winner. Great player but shouldn't be in that rarified air.

Feel for Bont, best player in the game for a couple of years imo.

Reckon if you asked any team one player they'd take from another club it'd be a toss up between Bont, Greene, and Curnow. Proper match winners.

Great to see Viney poll well, had a huge year.

Coincidence that Oliver was out most of the year

I wouldn't even take Neale first from Brisbane, I'd look at Mcluggage most likely

I've seen enough of Ashcroft to take him over Neale

I'd take Ashcrofts younger brother over Neale. Kid will be a gun. Lions Dynasty coming up

Some of the votes are so baffling it makes me wonder whether that bloke who got done for rigging brownlow votes last year was just the tip of the iceberg.

JHF 3 votes for a 13 disposal game. Insane

Either the umps just combined him and Bergman. Or they put so little focus on who is playing well that they just pick whichever high profile player comes into their head.

 

[Johnny Karate]

The umpires are barely able to officiate games properly so of course they have nfi as to who actually played well.

 

[Bluelegs]

He also had 1 mark, 1 tackle, 2 clearances, 0 goals, 0 goal assists it was about an average game as you could play.

His expected disposals was high though

Yep, and Neale was bog ordinary against GWS, yet both got the votes despite low disposal numbers.

In the same game Cameron had 15 disposals, kicked 7.2, had 6 marks and a goal assist and got 2 votes. A ten times better game with only two more disposals.

I always thought it was just a most disposals award but now I'm genuinely starting to think the umpires are just picking the name of the players they know.

Philipou got 3 in a game with like 12 touches no goals.

Yep, I genuinely think this could be the year that changes how it's decided, some baffling votes.

 

[Lord Nev]

Should trade him though...

 

[Crimson Azure]

Neale is definitely in the Judd and Cripps category of players who don’t have to play in a game to get votes.

Except one of those was a superstar and the others are just good

 

[Crusty Demon]

Paddy Cripps by his standards had a bog ordinary year. Wasn't bad, didn't set the world on fire either. Polls 5 more votes than Charlie Curnow

! The medal is cooked. So many mindboggling votes throughout the night.

 

[Crusty Demon]

The JHF 3 voter was a howler. As was the 20 possession 3 voter for Neale. But the biggest joke for mine was Amartey getting the 3 in a game where only played 50% gametime and got subbed off!!

If Cripps got suspended last season(which he should have), Neale would be a triple Brownlow winner! WTF!?

 

[Capt_Concussion]

Maybe Neale is head and shoulders above everyone else when it comes to fairness....?

If Cripps was suspended last year (as he *ing should've been) and Lachie won it, I can be certain that Lachie wouldn't have won this year. It just screams 'fix-up for last year'.

Once again, the issue of part time umpires comes around. These blokes are earning peanuts and yet are directly responsible for gambling outcomes over 1b p/a, of course they are prime candiates for corruption or coercion. Afl is amateur on so many levels on a global stage
