That’s without including another teammate of Rowell, Anderson and Daicos at Carey in Ed Richards.

Lol because he's a gun? Right mate..

Smith is. Not Daicos.

Daicos waving his arms around, diving, staging. He’s not only a flog but also a cat

 

[DuckYeah]

Abd guns dont go missing when the going gets tough. He throws the ball, he is a protected species because he cries like a spoiled kid. Not only is Daicos a flog, he’s a cat and a spoiled kid. And he would be bog average if he played in a shit side

Brownlow is ****ed. How the **** does LDU get votes in a 85 point demolition to hawks. Umps are cooked.

 

[Twangler]

It feels like everyone is saying it every year but take it off the umpires job. Their job is hard enough as it is.

Brownlow needs to be determined by coaches votes.

The current coaches vote system that gets released after each round can be replaced by votes by the media/broadcaster that no one will or should care too much about.

…because he was fair

Picked the ball up and threw it back

Picked his opponents up

Etc

Genius to hand out scholarships to talented 16 year olds.

Send secret agent Rawling in to sort it out.

Taranto 20 votes, wtf ?

Baffling.

Round 6 1993, V Sydney, we were a ****teenth from kicking a record high score (229) and we beat Sydney by 21 goals. McAdam kicked 10, Longmire 9, Ishchenko and Schwass were dominant yet Scott Watters polled votes.

These quirks have been going for years, makes the award interesting!!

Yes I think you have to take it for what it is, a flawed award that’s grown too big. I also remember when Peter Hudson kicked 16 but only got one vote, an umpire was asked about it and said he thought he’d only kicked 5 or 6.

I agree. I drive a forklift and when I make a mistake it certainly makes things interesting.

Obviously Fabio has a sunglasses deal somewhere - his arrogance wearing them all night was horrid.

Why would we need to make the Brownlow the Coaches Votes.

That's why we have the Coaches Award.

Or we could have experts vote on it - like they do in every Media Award under the sun or in choosing an All Australian Team.

The Brownlow is the Brownlow. It is what it is, and what it has always been, just celebrate it for that.

I love that it is quirky, that there are odd results thrown up. It's nigh on impossible for 4 umpires to rig it. It's just what they see and it ain't always perfect. It makes it what it is.

Whinging about it doesn't mean you're right and that it has to be "fair"

Matthews and Carey never won one.

If North ever get good, Sheezel surely wins at least one Brownlow. He is tailored-made for this award.

These days umpires are no good at their actual job of umpiring, so expecting them to be able to identify the best performers in a game is surely a bridge too far

 

[Harris 10]

Take it for what it is, an umpires award

I dont like when people say its a hard game to umpire. Its really the easiest game to umpire. Bouncing the ball in the air is the hardest thing about umpiring, getting out of the way and probably the fitness to make every ball up. Other than that, its ****in easy.

Ok fine, the problem though is there is high prestige attached to the award.
