Brownlow Brownlow Medal 2021 - Congratulations Ollie Wines 🥂

[Hoops]

I wonder what odds you would get for no Geelong player reaching double figures.

Actually wouldn't be that surprising - Guthrie would probably kill that bet though.

My top 5
Petracca
Bont
Oliver
Steele
Walsh

Just have a weird feeling Tracc wins this idk why

 

[deanc]

Have him on 18 votes!

Fair enough, as usual it's toss a dozen balls in the air with guessing who the umps have awarded votes to across the season?

About the only certainly in recent times is the winner will be a mid-fielder...

 

[Stabby McGee]

Not that I expect it but do any of the stats lads know if a club has had a 1-2?

You've spelt Parish wrong.

GIVE US A WAVE REBECCA !

 

[LordLucifer]

Because the Dees, Dogs & Power had big seasons, its natural that other players will take votes from Wines, Oliver & the Bont.

For this reason, I can see a player from one of the middle-range or lower teams getting more than them.

Lucky to make top 10

Walsh, Mitchell, Steele in that bracket.

Need to pick up a lot of 2 voters to do that though. They're no Gary Ablett jnr.

Nah, I count 15 votes without even trying, agree on Petracca, had some season.

Yeah, I just think that for a team that went about 50%, Merrett could take a lot of votes off him and there's not enough wins for him to make that up.

I think Steele will win. Decent but not amazing team, 10 wins so plenty of 3 vote opportunities and he is a proven vote getter with no real teammates to hurt him. It’s a proven formula to win a Brownlow. Last year he got 20 votes and the next best from the saints had 8.

only thing is that umpires seem to get swept up in it more now and love giving 3 votes to favourites even when they merit 1 or 2 at best. I could see bont just having a string of 3 vote games and taking it but I still like Steele, especially at 6 dollars for the win.

edit - it’s basically what Judd did in 2010. Carlton finished 11-11 and Judd got 30 votes as the clear standout player from the blues ( kade Simpson was next with 9)

another example is GAJ in 2013 - 28 votes in a mediocre team (Prestia next with 9)

clearly steele isn’t on the level of Judd and GAJ but the situations Are very similar

8 wins, less than mediocre

2000: Melbourne player wins Brownlow in final round over Bulldogs player, Demons lose Grand final, are forced to trade player due to salary cap, spiral into years of cellar dwelling.
If Oliver beats Bont in the final round, the Curse of Woewodin is on for another 21 years.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Woewodin stole so many votes off Yze that year.

Which is slightly better than shitting your pants in a prelim in front of a home crowd

Yes. 2005 cousins & kerr is one off top of my head

 

[newcs]

That pausing during the votes that Vlad started and Gil does twice as bad.

- (Team name). (Initial).............................................(Surname) = 1 shot

- (Team name)..............................................(Initial).(Surname) = 1 shot

- (Team name).............................................(Initial)............................................(Surname) = 3 shots.

How many 3 shot opportunities will Gil have ?
How many teams have players with the same initial ?
It used to drive Geelong supporters crazy when you had J.Selwood, J.Bartel, J.Corey & J.Kelly in the team.

Drink a can every time Touk gets a vote

Ok thanks. Not a bad duo with Judd in reserve

 

[Bald]

Definitely the wrong thread for this but is anyone else’s 7+ app showing border security?

 

[Stabby McGee]

I’ll be unconscious by round 4

 

[Wosh]

I don’t care who he is or who he played for, I hope with all my heart Ben has come through the other side of drug addiction for good. Huge moment for his kids and family to see him like this, healthy and clean
