Brownlow Brownlow 2023 LIVE Now - Congrats Lachie Neale!

[Hoops]

Meh. It was always going to be a case of best of the rest once daicos went down. We all know daicos had the best season and would have won it if he didn't get injured.

Did he have the best season? I would say no

 

[dlanod]

You're putting a lot of stock in something where the likes of Kane Cornes and Cameron Ling are selectors.

I'd be keen if we let them give out "Tagger of the Year".

 

[jonnobackpocket]

I watched him closely this year and I thought he had an average year.

No you didn’t your just a salty lions hating goose.

 

[bungalow_bill]

I think he's embarrassed. Even he knows they got it wrong.

Nah you're just projecting. Lachie knows he's a footy God

 

[Elixuh]

The count was almost perfect in that it baited supporters from Collingwood, Bulldogs, Melbourne, Port and Sydney extremely late in the piece into believing their player could legitimately win. Well done Gil.

 

[Roby]

Bang on. I don't get why people get so worked up when this is the literal system we have used for decades. When you're umpiring junk stats don't get you noticed, but make some great clearances or at up a few goals and you get noticed. Hate doing the votes, and it's really a five minute discussion that no one cares about after the game.

People prefer to be outraged rather than look at the issue.

 

[dlanod]

When Brisbane win, the umps go aahh, who played well, oh Neale got a lot of kicks, better give him 3 to cover ourselves.

But then why are you so upset when he got votes despite not getting lots of kicks??? Surely that means he did well?

 

[JasRulz63]

The same people he bashes when Martin and Taranto don’t make it.

To be fair, he does occasionally make a good point.

He wasn't rated in the top 5 midfielders by the All Australian selectors even though he led the league in clearancesand possessions.

Any selection committee with Kane Cornes on it should have an asterix.

 

[My Tilly]

Someone should tell P Dangerfield he should handball more.

Worked for him last year?

Hopefully Lachie turns it on. One senses it will be Daicos who outshines the other when it matters most.

A lot of kicks doesn't mean best player on tge ground.

 

[dean33]

What were neales odds pre count?

 

[YeoShuey]

What were neales odds pre count?

$13.00 when I checked. I was tempted to put $10 on him.

 

[MadMundy]

Glad that he's gotten another one, hope he wins the flag this weekend too.

I would have taken anyone over Daicos though, the media has already made him so ******* unlikeable that a Brownlow would have taken it into overdrive.

 

[scott_the_man]

I watched him closely this year and I thought he had an average year.

The coaches thought he was top 5 in the league going off the AFLCA votes.

But we'll go with your assessment of an "average year".

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Bont is ripped off yet again

 

[Proud New Father of 3]

I think this is the year I emotionally check out of the Brownlow.

Really feels like they just handed it to Neale.

I'd take Caleb Serong

's years over Neale's.

 

[Zacs_Magic_Tooth]

Lock him in for next year

 

[gutsroy]

All the silly stuff aside:
Don’t think Neale had a stellar year, would have had Bontempelli, Butters and Petracca all ahead of him.
But he’s not some C-Grade shittruck, good luck to him.
A little surprised Dunkley really didn’t eat into his tally at all, thought Dunkley had an outstanding year.
Brownlow’s gunna Brownlow, end of the day.

 

[MadMundy]

Jesus Christ you're probably right.

I do feel a little bad for him though, the media are going to unintentionally turn him into the most hated player in the competition.

 

[FreoRicci]

I would be laughing if it wasn’t for the fact I have been miserable watching my team disappoint me in every aspect for 24 months, then I see Bont lose to a guy that didn’t even make the All-Australian team.

Western Bulldogs have never made top 4 in Bontempelli’s career. That sums it up.
Need to win more.
Bonts doesn’t stand out in losses and goes missing far too often.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Oh but how wrong you could be. The one vote for Gulden and no votes for Petracca who turned the game needs to be investigated. Almost like they were hoping another player would hold onto a lead.

Who was hoping that another player would hold onto the lead?
If these mystery people were able to rig the vote in the Swans vs Dees game in the hopes that Daicos held his lead, wouldn't those same people have the ability to rig Neale's votes for the last game? Or ANY of the other games during the year?

Bold section sums it up.
I guess all the negating stuff umpires don't notice as much.
Dunkley is half a chance of winning our B&F if you track the fan pages etc., actually was that confident Dunkley would poll quite well I had money on it.

Dunkley had a real good year but seems to have been pigion holed as a defensive stopper mid so zero chance the umps even talked about him. He didn’t even make the All Aus squad.

 

[FreoRicci]

Make finals, win more. Get top 4 maybe.
Can’t win it not making finals
