Game Day Brownlow and Rising Star 2025

[1970crow]

Imagine thinking Supercoach is the measure of a gun player. Hugh McCluggage and Gawn robbed of the award and it's a travesty that Lachie Ash only got 7 votes

Waynus scores high in fantasy games so therefore scoring in fantasy games is how you determine footy astuteness.

All the AFL Clubs use the data .....it's the primary reason Champion Data was created ....the Fantasy games were simply that same data being used

And yes, SC does accurately measure players performances accurately, their impact on games, Qtr by Qtr .....otherwise, why would the AFL spend so many $$$ on the data collection

You think the clubs spend the money on the stats they use for your fantasy games? How cute.

Only you're dumb enough to think that .....now go & annoy someone else who may believe your guff

What a farce.

The question is, how do you define "the best player"? Is it the guy who hold Daicos to 15 touches? The guy who kicks 6 goals? The defender who holds his opponent scoreless? How do you weight each of those scenarios?

Stats only tell part of the story. You dont get any numbers for a hard tag. There has to be an observation by a human with a clue. Then there's bias and media influence. How to get an accurate outcome with minimal subjectivity?

I dont mind the umpires continuing to do it, but maybe there needs to be a football person in the room when they are doing their votes. A bloke who can put the game into context for them?

"Lets give NAS 2 votes"

"Really? Are you sure? The guy literally won the game off his own boot"?

"Yeah fair call, let's give him 3"

Problem solved.

Except when the interjections that ‘NAS finished strong, but Viney was best across 4 quarters’. ‘Yeh fair call, let’s give Jack the 3’. You’re going to get stronger characters overruling others regardless of whether they’re right or not.

So according to 7 graphics and staff

1. Daniel Curtain was rising star runner up
2. Bont is a Crows player
3. Danger won the 2020 and 2023 Brownlows
4. Bailey Smith has never played a GF
5. Everyone wants Geelong to win

Anything else?

Special mention to Goyder for leading off the congratulations to Rowell speech with a thanks to Nick Daicos.

What a terrible standard.

6. Harvey Langford is a dead ringer for Dan Curtin, like same missus and all

Someone suggested the other day maybe there should be 5 players from every team voting independently (after a game) and they can't vote for their team. Problem with this is the potential for gambling manipulation but I guess that's a problem no matter who is voting.

I don’t think players are the right ones to do it.

Did you use Fantasy or SuperCoach to claim Wilkie was no good?

Rd 9 Geelong vs GWS at GMHBA, hogan kicks 7.1 has 22 disposals 9 marks gets the 10coaches votes and not one brownlow vote
In a game GWS won.

What more does a forward have to do? Other than play for a Victorian team obviously.

 

[jbanger]

Just give everyone a medal FFS. Better still stop keeping score so no one gets offended when they lose.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Taps the sign

These are the guys we let decide crucial decisions that could cost premierships

Remember that umpires don't want the responsibility of doing the voting, and they are pretty much on record that it is an after thought to them.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Won 18 games, and the team received 93 out of a possible 144 votes.

Make of that what you will. We always seem to cop a lack of votes in a winning side.

we came top 4 in the votes total, its fine

That was soooooo Wrong
If there are biases then this is a Classic example
