Brownlow Brownlow Medal 2021 - Congratulations Ollie Wines 🥂

[matty lloyd the champ]

Because not only do the umpires only give votes to midfielders, they have a select group of about 6-8 MFs that they reward with 3 votes. As the years go by, forwards and defenders receive fewer and fewer votes- its all concentrated on a select group of MFs. Hence, the leaders will all rack up 30+ votes. It will only get worse.

Lack of tagging also helps these days. About 10 years ago, tagging was in fashion and each team had a specialised tagger. Nowadays, it is Matt De Boer and not very much else.

That game Bont missed because his car broke down could cost him

 

[Vikingnz]

Gil pausing before every vote for one of the leaders is annoying af and gives away who is getting the vote.

Genuinely think he's not smart enough to realise you do it for every 3 votes a favourites team gets, not every vote a favourite gets.

 

[marshdogg]

moty is a joke...

 

[RAPPA]

Bolton for mine

 

[half_back_flank]

Riewoldt robbed. Especially given the context.

 

[Hoops]

Bolton's was the worse of the 3

 

[Milanista28]

No way Oliver was better than Merrett in round 15

 

[Altum Volantes]

Bolton a good call - could have gone Reiwoldt too but Bolton’s was awesome.

 

[Xtreme]

O'Brien robbed

 

[hawkman]

Wasn't even the best Richmond mark

 

[Sleutheren]

Eh..

Both Riewoldt and O'Brien's marks were better.

 

[Chaisa]

Bolton would be a worthy winner generally, but I preferred Riewoldt and O'Brien. All 3 somewhat special though. Great year for hangers.

 

[Jibroni]

Is Bolton not very tall or Nick Nat seriously tall?

Great mark.

 

[estibador]

Those were all pretty good nominees but I would have given it to Riewoldt. Back with the flight is always more impressive.

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

O’Brien robbed

 

[Altum Volantes]

Shai lack the polish of presentation we’ve become used to from Liam Ryan

[Chuckie357]

Riewoldt going to cry infront of the mirror now

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Is Bolton not very tall or Nick Nat seriously tall?

Both. Nic Nat is 201cm and Bolton is 175cm.

 

[Andronicus]

Smart bloke.

 

[scoman]

Riewoldt for mine. I feel dirty having said that.

 

[Bald]

Weightman stiff.

 

[tropicaltiger]

I always wonder how much $$ Browny is into with Sportsbet

Would get a heap of bonus bet you’d imagine

 

[DEVO]

My God this is tedious. Speed it up AFL.

The Brownlow needs to be moved to the ABC so there aren't commercial breaks every five minutes prolonging the agony.

 

[Ash1337]

hate goal & mark of the year because they're fan voted.
