Who's upset. This cements him in your side for the next 5 years and we get to reflect on the worst brownlow ever for the next decade until Eddie's son wins one under dubious circumstances.
What I don't get is you're one of those anti-West Australian brigade, yet you're happy to help use them as an example to try and prove your point. And the only conclusion I can come to is that you're either not sharp enough to realise that, or you just follow the "media are against us wahhhh" Cockburn conspiracy theories to fit in.

Good luck with it either way, I hope Fyfe coughing up his Brownlow to the "worst Brownlow winner ever" doesn't sting us much as watching your joke of a football club side get bundled out of the finals in straight sets. :thumbsu:

Of course it proves my point, they are a pro Eagles paper but even they didn't give a stuff about his omission from the AA team because no one rates him, including your own supporters.

I'd rather go out in straight sets than miss the finals and not beat a top eight side for the whole year.

Of course you would, then you'd get to readjust the chip on your shoulder and bask in the glory of finishing higher than big brother. But the end result is Cockburn achievements for the year totalled absolutely zero regardless of how you look at it, and another year passes by with an ageing list that Lyon still couldn't capitalise on.

I'd say enjoy your straight sets moment in the sun, but there's going to be plenty more of that.

This is the greatest thing that has happened in footy this year!

Well done to him, he's a good bloke and plays consistent footy, no frills but gets the job done.

He's been WC's best mid for a long time now, and if you can't appreciate a battler type like Priddis (mature age rookie pick, not the most naturally gifted) winning this award, then you've got no appreciation for football.

All those West Coast supporters that have been hating on him for the last few years all look like absolute muppets now.

Priddis is the West Coast equivalent to somebody like Daniel Jackson or Matthew Boyd (solid role player, tough in the contest, questionable disposal, good but not elite), and yet somehow he's now won a freakin' BROWNLOW MEDAL?!?!?!

Umpires are trolling us all, surely :eek:

Why would they feel like that. Cause a few maggots gave him a few BOGs?

Boyd used to Poll well also, was 5th in 2010 and 3rd in 2011, but yes can't kick for peanuts.

Umpires were definitely trolling by giving Dangerfield all of Sloanes hard earned votes. Some players are umpires pets, if Danger, Cotchin or Hannebery ever put in a solid season-long performance and not have any month long form slumps they'd take Charlie home one of these days

Priddis can't be compared to Woewodin, Woewodin at 29 was finished, Priddis at the same age has just reached his footballing peak.

Priddis is the best in and under type in the league, how many years was Scott West the best in and under type? If Westy hit the scoreboard more often he'd might have won one instead of numerous close finishes, only Nathan Jones and Libba can rival Priddis at what he does presently.

The Libba comparison is extremely apt.
