Brownlow 2024 Brownlow Medal

[seanthelion]

Yep - it totally devalues the medal. He was a worthy winner, but scoring 3 votes multiple times in a losing team is a joke.
I not suggesting anything untoward from the umpires, but really need to question umpire unconscious bias in voting, particularly when we have so many poor umpires running around currently.

Tradition says the brownlow is voted on by umpires. It’s time to have a rethink. Tradition says that this is the most prestigious individual award in our game. If it’s going to remain that way it’s time to hand over voting to a broader cohort. Include umpires. Add coaches. Add respected former players from each team or media.

I’m not outraged, but it is currently the AFL Logies.

This YouTube channel is great with AUS Rules football history and analysis. Here he suggests an alternative voting system. He’s also got several other Brownlow videos, as well as videos like “what if every proposed merger ever happened?”.

This going to be the lowest rating Brownlow night of all time. Drawn-out, awkward and the result a foregone conclusion by round 12.

Good thing my takes on actual football are resoundingly more accurate than my takes on tv.

I reckon after the red carpet ratings plummeted

Apparently not. Red carpet = 843K. Brownlow = AV 1.36M.

Last night only confirmed that, Cripps aside, Carlton are B graders.

Can't take it seriously tbh. 45 votes is hilarious.

The player who did the retirement speech was completely honest about the struggles post afl. Was actually petty tough to listen to.

Same for all elite athletes. They are a different breed with brains so focused on competition and winning the average world must be so grey to them.

Just look at mitch robbos post footy life. He is not thriving. And the brain scan results and other limiting injuries must make it even more difficult.

Players scoring well despite being part of losing teams isn't a new thing. See Bob Skilton, Kevin Murray...

Shane Crawford.
