Wines was talked about as trade bait over last couple years.
Like Petracca, he's lifted his game. End result he got himself a Brownlow.
Great effort.

Well get ready for more of the same.
We wont get Callaghan, so your looking at Ward at 181 or Hobbs at 183cm.

Look if they are best available then obviously we go with them

But by golly we need to get some size into our midfield group (hopefully Nash and Newcombe can help with this)

Could it be a factor that the bigger build mids take a couple of years to build up their tank and learn how to carry their weight?

It's a real weapon though once these big units get a tank and can impact multiple contests.

Size isn't the issue it's skill.

JOM finished top 25. It makes me wonder how many votes he would have polled if he played for Melbourne instead of Petracca

is an absolute freak... 30 votes in his 3rd season

What an absolute star

 

[H00t]

Miller (17 votes) and McRae (14 votes) with the reverse Judd medal for players who really should have polled a lot more.

Macrae is such a strange one, not the first time he has been stiff in the voting.

You would think he has the perfect game to be a Brownlow vote magnet. Very very stiff

Agree. Would love him in B&G.

I saw the Hawks vs Blues match live at the MCG and on a pretty ordinary day of footy Walsh was a level above everyone else.

The Miller one is surprising, he plays such an attractive brand of footy.

Maybe playing for an off Broadway team like the suns didn't do him any favours?

Also gotta account for the 'break out year bonus'

He will poll better next year, he didn't start getting a lot of buzz until midway through the year. Now he is an established gun the votes will come.

 

[killerspud]

These Sportsbet ads are disgraceful. Seven should pull its head in, but Stokes is a greedy fool of a man, so of course they won't.

Stokes is a Murdoch like cancer on society. Im guessing he might have misplaced a million dollars recently

 

[killerspud]

Imagine if Melbourne had drafted Wines instead Toumpas. Imagine trying to stop the midfield.

Well done Wines, deserving winner

He was good mates with Jack Viney, nonsensical that the Dee's didn't draft him

 

[grumbleguts]

Petracca and Bontempelli both in stupid cash converter ads, neother has a brownlow. Coincidence?

Yep, he’s the only player in the comp that 10 mill over 9 years feels like a bargain

 

[TylerDurden]

Dees were worst in AFL history at contested ball that year and still overlooked Wines.

 

[Stratton24]

That’s why they didn’t draft him. Todd Viney was their recruiter and didn’t want to be seen to be favouring his sons friend

Yeh that was it!

Also wasn't there talk that he was too similar a player to Jack Viney for the dees to pick?

There loss Ports gain either way.

Bailey Smith is a step behind Walsh but I reckon he'd get a similar deal on an open market.

Luke Jackson too perhaps

Bailey Smith had a quite year and has exploded in the finals so would be paying him on potential. Jackson also would be paid on potential as he yet to play anywhere near the level of a million a year player.

I would take Smith over Walsh if given the choice. Not sold on Jackson yet, if he produced the same season playing for North or Gold Coast he would not have won the rising star. He does still have a lot of time on his side though.

Bailey Smith would struggle in another team, having to disposal of the ball legally would be a real handicap.

Mitchell's votes

11 games before the bye: 5 votes
11 games after the bye: 20 votes

Extraordinary pace in the second half

Both Smith and Walsh are awesome young players. Personally I'd prefer Smith too, given he's proving himself to be huge big game player. Big game players are worth their weight in gold.
