Toast Congratulations Matt Priddis - 2014 Brownlow Medalist

[ArdentEagle]

I'm late on the scene as I've been in my sick bed.

Absolutely wrapped for him, now a true champion.
In the other thread I now avoid, I said about a month ago I want this to happen to stick it to the haters.

Well played and what a gracious winner.

 

[Smotie]

Congrats Priddis.

Can you leant to kick now?

 

[Genesis67]

Congrats Pridda

 

[PAdman]

Matt Priddis should coach our team. #simmoout

Oh and this is probably a bad thing Priddis winning, it may change Simmos stance that we need a better midfield.

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Well Done Pridda!! A very deserving winner!! A great moment for him and the club.

Way to stick it up those All-Australian selectors and the haters from this board.

 

[peppy la pew]

Always said Priddis was a solid player, cannot believe the amount of shit he cops from some on this board.

So glad he won outright, takes away any *

 

[sydney eagle]

What only number 3 in tackles ? You will have to lift your game Matt ! Seriously congratulations and well deserved !

 

[Prem17]

A very deserving winner after all the years of hard work that he has put in.
I think it was also a good result for footy to have someone up there that was truly humbled by the accolade.
Well done Priddis - a champion winner! (Even if I did do my dough on Kennedy! LOL)

 

[Wallaby]

Nah - he's rubbish. Conca wants to go home - straight up swap, and you're robbing us.

Seriously, I never understood the flak he got from some Weagles fans. Bloody champ. Good on him.

 

[Prem87]

A great reward for consistency over the years. No one can deny he gets the best out of himself.

That being said he's not in the Top 25 midfielders in our game but he's definitely one of the most consistent.

Glad I woke up and it was real.

Good times.

 

[fronkalicious]

Congrats guys. Worthy winner IMO. Oh, and I got on at $31.

I really don't think the result of an award would influence the coach's strategic planning a whole lot.

It's not like we're going to use our first pick on a KPD because Mackenzie wasn't selected in the AA side

Congrats Pridda!

:rofl

I feel so trolled hahaha

 

[joeyavalanche]

Omg its still real!

 

[ppoiter]

Congrats to Priddis, nice to see a guy like him win it. And as for the two BoGs against us, youre welcome

 

[SpaceClef]

I find it interesting that people are upset he won because they think it will result in him not being dropped from the side.

Regardless of whether or not you think it's the right decision, there was next to zero chance that Priddis was ever going to be traded or dropped in the near future, and considering he's almost 30 it's safe to say he'll be in our 22 until he retires.

Him winning the Brownlow doesn't change that, so you might as well just enjoy the fact that we now have one more piece of silverware.

Look at Scott Lycett's Instagram post about him. It cannot possibly be all bad when you see this kind of morale lift in the side.

I think it would be more the opposite, realizing we have no other standouts to influence games and take votes off him. The man just plods (no disrespect) along doing the same thing week in week out. Absolute warrior of the club.

 

[Art OF war]

Congrats to Matt. He was definitely be a smokey but in saying that I thought he was a shoe in for top 5. He was consistently good to great all year as shown by 13 games polled in. Well done mate!

 

[lewigie]

I SEE IT!

BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT!

 

[6285sutto]

I find it amusing at how so many people are taking it out on Priddis for winning a medal he himself obviously didn't expect to win, and I take it that you think it's a bad thing that one of our players had his best season to date and he won a very prestigious medal to acknowledge that? I don't think think it'll change his work ethic next year, if anything it will hopefully make him work harder in terms of polishing the rest of his game style (disposal efficiency) to show haters like Dark Shark here that he can match the best footballers out there, if not in skill then in effort and dedication. For all I care our team could win every brownlow for the next 10 years and be any closer to a GF, and as long as the coach/team/club acknowledges this, and works on winning games not medals I'll be happy.


Well done Priddis, although you wern't/arn't the most talented player of the game, definitely one of the most consistent in being the "fairest and best" each week, as shown by the recognition you received last night. Now hopefully you can win us a grand final next year as well!
