Opinion Brownlow Medal 2017

[Rankine2Rachele]

It's widely believed that Dusty Martin has the Brownlow Medal sewn up for this year. With the awards night coming tomorrow night, who do we think might get the closest to knocking him off the perch (whether they actually do or not)? Also, who do people think might be the top vote getters for each club?

 

[GreyCrow]

Martin shall get 37 votes

M Crouch 28

P Dangerfield (ineligible) 31

West Coast Mitchell 27

Hawthorn Mitchell 25

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Votes in order I think will be:

Martin
Dangerfield
T Mitchell
M Crouch
JP Kennedy

Next year is M Crouch year. This year I think he’ll poll poorly in first half of season. Expect Sloane to be right up there until midway point.

Are any Crows players actually going?

No they are all having a function at AO, according to Fages on Friday night

Agree. I think he'll end up on maybe 15-18 votes with Sloane getting the majority in the first half of the year.

 

[Bicks]

Sloane will still get more votes than Mrouch this year I feel.

 

[Iron]

Basically need two breakout years in a row to win a brownlow. Crouch has zero chance but only because the umpires vote on big names.

 

[Glenno23]

Always love Brownlow night. A midfielders award, but i enjoy it for what it is

 

[Geoffa32]

Hopefully Danger gets the most votes but has to hand Dusty the medal....

Would top off a great weekend for him.

Hope to see Matt Crouch get recognised as an elite mid tonight.

 

[Betts are off]

Things I would love to see tonight;

1) Danger to win by a single vote only to be ineligible and hand the medal over
2) The Crouch boys combine to have 40+ votes
3) Tom Mitchell to not even finish top 10 in the votes (People forget they lost 11 games which will hurt him)
4) Eddie to win his 3rd consecutive Goal of the Year award
5) Someone going full Fevola again! I know he was real bad, but dear god was he entertaining!

Surely that was the AA selection?

Fev will be there, so Fev may Fev it up again

 

[Betts are off]

Fev will be there, so Fev may Fev it up again

That would be the best!

No-one Fev's it up quite as much as Fev!

A 2nd medal has been struck and delivered down to Adelaide.
Obviously just covering bases but
Hmmmm

I reckon sloane is a huge chance to pull off one of the great upsets of all time.

He also chats back at them a lot. That isn't considered very favourably by the umpires. Hence why it took years before Thommo was finally given the votes he deserved (in the year that the drug assisted cheat got the highest votes)

That was done in the past for when West Coast and Sydney stayed back in their home cities prior to play in a GF - but yes, no matter what they say about them not knowing about the votes beforehand...

I know I'm a prick on the banter thread, but I genuinely love your club and what they stand for. The only team I'll tolerate beating us for the premiership is Adelaide. Will hurt a little less, more than footy for Jacobs and Walsh, and judas Dangerfield.

I do hope he wins by a single vote too. Will go straight to the Geelong board (actually hate them)

As was put in our deja vu thread, in 1997 Chris Grant polled the most votes with Harvey 1 vote behind him but Grant was ineligible, so Harvey the "winner". Now a player from the team we played in the prelim "lost" the Brownlow to a player from a team we were about to play in the GF. Sounds a little familiar, hmmm?

I do the superstitious stuff too, we feel Helen D'Marco (Google her) placed a massive jynx on the club, the birth of our messiahs first child (Richo) has lifted the curse 35 years later.
