Brownlow 2017

[Deathly]

Pretty decent night for votes.

Blakely got the handful I expected - could of got over 10 easily if he played the whole season and the games where he solo polled were wins instead of losses. Fyfe and Neale getting 15 and 14 respectively in a side that only won 8 games... Essendon, Melbourne, Saints, Eagles all finished higher and had a lower top poller.

Should be a good shootout next year between Fyfe, Dusty and Danger. The three most explosive contested ball winning players in the game.

Edit: throw in Josh P Kennedy

AA Yeo had less votes than Blakely

Beams did well to poll 17 at Brisbane with a dud shoulder in a comeback year

From start to finish that was without doubt the most awkward Brownlow medal telecast in my time of following footy.

As I said.....

Followed by awkward presser featuring brain dead journos
Leave the bloke alone,playing footy is what he does not talk to those nuffies

Hopefully Fyfey smashes Selwood in votes to make that AA look even more ridiculous.

Selwood 13 votes. Neale 14 votes. Fyfe 15 votes.

WTF is up with Fyfe's glasses?

Fyfe sets fashion trends. He does not follow them.

 

[Bender571]

Danger 'somehow' didn't poll in round 22 inspite of 32 touches and 2 goals (equal most touches and equal most goals). Things that make you think...

Reminds me of 2014 how Priddis overtook an ineligible Fyfe with 2 votes in the last game despite getting 0 coaches votes.

Yep he was there , no yarren though

A good night for our boys. Fyfe was written off left, right and centre but still polled well and better than a few of these so called stars like Selwood and Yeo...

That was just Fyfe below his best as well! Can't wait until he gets back to his best. Definitely could win another Brownlow in his career.

Did not watch but it sounds like another reminder of the fact that AFL Holdings is lucky it has an incredibly good product in the game itself because it does so little else well.

Geez that Carlton guy really copped it on the MB thread haha.

 

[PapaJ]

Shows where I'm at with AFL at the moment. I literally forgot the Brownlow was on so missed it. Judging from what's been said in this thread, my early onset dementia worked to my advantage this time.

How was Martin's speech?

How was Martin's speech?

Didn't say too much and was obviously really uncomfortable being in the limelight. Really nervous on stage. He did well despite this. He's a simple bloke (not meant in a bad way) who just loves footy and that's it.

It was a little awkward watching him and Bruce as Bruce was trying to get more out of him but he wasn't really saying much. A few awkward pauses in between!

I only said it because that was the exact words he said on radio

I don't think I've ever seen so many different replies slamming a single post before.

Even earlier in the thread he wasn't covering himself in glory with his gay jokes. Some of the other teams seem to have some pretty ordinary posters somehow become mods.

Which one was that?

The post? This one from a Carlton mod:

Apple never falls far from the tree and my 6yo son speaks better than what Dusty does and what an embarrassment he is.

Lucky for him he can play football I suppose cause a life time of stacking shelves at Coles and riding Harley Davidsons with club colors was next in line.

The post? This one from a Carlton mod:

Sorry, Carlton Mod, but since it's "my 6-y-old son speaks better than Dusty does" and not "better than what", I'd say you're not in a position to judge.
