Yeah reminds me of Dusty and that terrible 2017 Richmond side
Literally the only Brownlow medalist to win a premiership in the same year in the past decade, there is a reason for that.

I never said Brisbane was terrible, but they need to share the burden more and appear to be overly reliant on Neale.

This was evident last night, Neale was fantastic 2 goals and most disposals on ground, but who else stood up on the big stage, no one comes to mind.

Whereas you would have a hard time saying who Geelongs best player was.

Tell me am I wrong?
 
Congratulations to Neale for a great season, but this is not the kind of polling you would expect from a contending team, you want players taking votes off each other in an even spread across the board.

If you rely on one player to get you over the line to this degree that he is BOG in all but 4 of your 14 wins in a season that's not a good thing from a team perspective.

Nice to see such a positive response to the winner this year - oh hang on it’s a Geelong supporter whining.
 
Fyfe with that terrible 2015 Fremantle side
Swan with that terrible 2011 Collingwood side
Mitchell with that terrible 2018 Hawthorn side

List goes on
Those players won the flag in that year did they?
 
So they won the flag?
That's not your point. This was your original post.

Collingwood 2011 and Freo 2015 both finished top of the ladder in those years. By definition, that's a contending team.

Goal of the year should have been a free kick against for illegitimate handball, can't hit it with the open hand.
Only in the VFL.

It was a prestigious collection of nominees indeed:

- a goal after an open-hand 'handball'

- a shot from an incorrect free kick, given to the wrong player, taken from the wrong spot

- a goal where it looks like the guy runs more than 15m

And then they gave it to the shittest one anyway due to his surname. Bravo AFL.

And my words were you don't want that, not that it couldn't happen, those teams Failed when it mattered, just like Geelong with Dangerfield in 2016.
 
Can’t be too many people complaining about the top of the leaderboard this time around. Looks to be a pretty spot on assessment. Good job, umpires!
Yes agree. when do the umpires submit their votes? Surely they look at their I-phones to take a look at the best and the stats before submitting?

I honestly thought he would miss the brownlow because I felt we had more an even contribution then last season.

It will come though. The kids like Rayner, Berry and McCluggage will steal some next season.
