Lions Brownlow thread

[Bucking Beads]

Brownlow is a midfielders medal. B&F's allow all types of players to get recognition. That said, Rocky a bit stiff in the B&F.

True. Very stiff for Rocky not to be in top 3.

 

[John]

And Bruce got that right. A player for the ages is Jnr.

 

[Monkey Daniel]

Huge tick for Rocky, well done young fella !!!

Couldn't work out how they had a tick for Selwood getting votes in the last game, didn't think he played that well...

 

[Elixuh]

Hard to tell. Either Swans Mrs or Stakes date. Elixuh has a noted potty mouth.

I just couldn't help myself. Robbed.

Master Brownlow troll from T. Rockliff 3 votes - no Brownlow for you Joel.

How many games did Rocky not play full-time in the midfield this year?

 

[PertRoosOsborne]

That sounds unbelievable. Wish I could have seen that .

They had a segment where Dippa, Cooney, Murray and Goldsmith had a lunch together talking about the memories of winning their medals and such.

Murrays humility and genuine enjoyment of the others stories was all class.......but the bulldog showed his teeth with the flash of his gnarly wrist chain, showing that he wears his medal around his neck and a comment that he won his Brownlow in his 15th year.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Sam Mayes polled the same amount of votes as O'Meara and Wines combined.

Just saying...

 

[Dom PC]

We still have the 3 brownlow players in one team record over geelong. Good times Great brownlow finish this year!

I'd say about 8 or 9 games he spent a lot of time on a half forward flank

 

[Lionontheline]

Ducked at the post..

 

[Monkey Daniel]

Not forgetting the two games Rocky missed through injury

 

[Toffee Lion]

Rocky tying Voss' 21 vote win in 1996.

Really hope Leppa doesn't use him in the forward line and keeps him in the midfield - and make him captain too, please.

Interesting with Rocky, I didn't see a 21 vote season from him. Reckon it points to the umps hitting the stats post the game. How Tom Lynch didn't get 3 votes kicking 10 goals and Cameron missed out on the 3 kicking 7 goals. Unbelievable!

He didn't

They probably gave him a tick for that last quarter goal when he raised his arms like the Messiah.

Anyhow....Rocky rocks

 

[Jacko72]

I think Rocky polled in 8 of the last 9 games. That's when he was playing close to 100% in the middle

 

[JasRulz63]

13 players polled more, or tied with Melbourne as a team.

 

[Jacko72]

Hope Leppa plays Rocky in the midfield all year in 2014. Rocky for brownlow 2014

Rocky stood out in the later half IMO. Once back there he thrived.

Good points you raise about the other players though. Using our B@F who IMO was a deserved winner how does he only poll a vote. This is why as much as I get the prestige of it, it just proves in the end that the mids are the men year in year out.

With that last round BOG performance, Ablett overtook Black for career Brownlow votes. Ablett on 187, Black on 184. Come on Blacky, win it next year!

 

[James North]

Tom Rockliff = Dan Hannebery.

How about "Come on Blacky, play next year"?

 

[Haggis McHaggis]

Hammo must be delighted.

 

[Jacko72]

If Leppa is our coach next year, I'm very confident black will play on

Yeah Scoop is getting a bit of love around here lately but the truth is nothing can make up for his crimes of the past against our footy club.

 

[acuguy]

It just goes to show how much of a midfielder medal it has become, Voss wins it with 21 votes in an unbelievable year of footy, Rocky plays well-nothing like Voss and gets the same amount of votes, not knocking Rockliff, just acknowledging how the defenders and forwards are omitted from our most historic award @ tragedy!
