Sounds like the crows are gonna get on the.nose beers.

Someone needs to tell them, acting like a bunch of 18yo acne riddled teen boys is so 2000's.

Lol Fremantle

 

[amazingjoshy]

Kelly and Sheed our highest pollers with 11 each.

Not many would've guessed that

Yeah bro. Having fun is so lame.

I reckon sheed has caught the umps attention since that famous goal in 2018.

Oh lord what a mare...Basil Zempilas was voted in as the Perth Lord Mayor. Will have a suitably big head for his big nose.

Gets him out of football.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Pretty ridiculous tbh. NN deserved better. I can't believe Sheed got so many votes lol, at least Kelly had a couple of standout performances with a few bonus gifts.

 

[squashface]

Crazy how NN doesn’t poll more. He never has either. You would think that because he does the really flashy stuff that he is incredibly noticeable to the umps. Plus it’s usually in the centre square right next to an umpire.

 

[MadMundy]

Nic Nat deserved more votes plain and simple. How Gawn got more votes is beyond me, had a pretty down season compared to a career best from Nic.

 

[Duggo81]

Big men never get votes who cares how many votes you get in brownlow unless you are in contention not a true reflection of a players year unless you are a mid

Neale a very worthy winner.

The sort of player every team would want playing for them.
Plays it hard and fair.

Very humble and gracious winner, a far cry from last year.


Side Note and apologies it a grizzle:

Could have done without all the gambling ads that accompanied the coverage.

VaFL are out of kilter with the rest of society, gambling is a negative in our society and the VaFL by association with its sponsorship choices, is a blight on it's social responsibility and thats a poor example.

The very fact that so many Victorian Clubs are dependant on the spoils from gambling, just reinforces that those at VaFL house are morally bankrupt.
Gill and his band of merry men should be leading by example, by cutting their Sponsorship Deals with gambling agencies.

Kudos to North Melbourne who were the first and some years ago now, cut the purse strings that relied of gambling as part of their Income Stream.

I can't believe the constant whining on this board and excuses for our teams turd performances. Accept it we ain't as good as Richmond period. It's no fluke they are doing what they are. Yes they get a few leg ups being a Victorian team but guess what that ain't going to change. They are a hard ruthless side that play a brand of footy that is very hard to defeat unfortunately.

Our club found the answer in 2018 can they do it next year only they can answer that

It's hard to defeat because the rules of footy have been thrown out the window pursuing the theory of "no stoppages is exciting footy."

Throw, drop, throw your way to victory.

Shame on our mob for failing to get with the times but the footy is an abomination of what the game is supposed to be.

Unfortunately, the Brownlow is basically a Gambling event - the Betting agencies pump the AFL with money all year and one of the big ‘pay off’ events is the Brownlow, so they go all out and basically highjack the event as one massive advert for gambling. The league can’t/won’t turn down their money - especially when it’s lovely invisible gambling on phone apps - unlike those icky pokies machines with the depressing broke old person attached to it.

It’s not fantastic but it is not surprising.

Umps just give the votes to however gets the ball the most, even if they have no influence.

Thought we learnt that from Tom Mitchell/Priddis' Brownlows.

Usually yes but here's some really unusual ones in that lot

Barrass getting 3 BL votes against Essendon with 11 possessions and 6 marks but zero coaches votes

That's unusual yes. Which game did he get the 10 coaches votes in? I didn't watch the count so not sure if he polled int hat one.

 

[Wild Kelly]

Cripps' goal was like a poor man's Judd goal of the year.

Probably should have won but it appears that the only footage they have is in slow motion.

 

[eaglespremiers]

So our three best players this year combined for 6 total votes. Whereas two midfielder who were by and large disappointing this year combined for 22 votes. What a weird analysis our votes appears to be.

 

[Shuestar13]

Gets him out of football.

Nope

 

[Broken_Chairs]

Happy for neale, deserves the accolades

That said, the fact that NN didn't even make our top 5 is a pretty clear indicator that the brownlow voting process is pure garbage. Needs a shake up, umps shouldn't be solely responsible for this.

Rd 12 Vs Hawthorn. 19 disposals and 9 marks. 0 Brownlow votes
