Guess those bets on Tredrea for most votes at Port Adelaide are well and truly gone :p

He's never polled well. Was actually precount favourite for the 04 Brownlow after taking home all the media awards and the AFLCA MVP, but only managed 14 or 15 votes to be well behind Judd and Cornes.

Apart from the pair of duckeggs featured in this thread, he also got 1s and 2s when he was head and shoulders above anyone else on the park numerous times.

Tony Shaw's 50 disposals in 1991 went unrewarded, as did Steve Malaxos's 48 in 1987.

Tony Lockett's 12 goals in 1989, and Gary Ablett's 10 in 1993 also failed to catch the eye.

Warwick Capper, Round 1, 1986 - North Melbourne vs. Sydney @ the MCG
12 disposals, 5 marks, 8 goals in a 25-point win, no Brownlow votes.

In the same game, Capper's Sydney teammate Anthony Daniher received one vote for his 13 disposals and 1 goal.

Warwick Capper, Round 5, 1987 - Richmond vs. Sydney @ the MCG
20 disposals, 10 marks, 7 goals, 5 behinds in a 20-point win, no Brownlow votes.

In the same game, Richmond's Trevor Poole received 3 votes for his 19 disposals, 0 goals and 8 frees against.

Warwick Capper, Round 11, 1988 - Brisbane vs. Richmond @ Carrara
16 disposals, 9 marks, 8 goals, 3 behinds in a 48-point win, no Brownlow votes.

In the same game, Richmond's Michael Mitchell received one vote for his 22 disposals, 0 goals and 5 frees against.

Mark Williams, Round 16, 1989 - Brisbane vs. St Kilda @ Carrara
28 disposals, 11 marks, 2 goals in a 4-point win, no Brownlow votes.

Not a mindblowing performance, but in the context of other vote-getting performances on the day, he appears to have been somewhat robbed - St Kilda's Dean Rice got 2 votes for his 11-disposal, 0 goal performance, and Brisbane's David Bain got the single vote for his 17-disposal, 0 goal performance. St Kilda's Mick Dwyer was also left voteless with his 22 disposal, 3 goal performance, as was Brisbane's Cameron O'Brien, who had 14 disposals, 8 marks, 5 goals and 3 behinds. Roger Merrett got the 3 votes with 24 disposals, 6 marks and 6 hitouts.

Barry Mitchell, Round 18, 1991 - Adelaide vs. Sydney @ Football Park
46 disposals, 2 goals (including the game-winning goal with just seconds to go) in a 4-point win, 0 Brownlow votes.

As UpForGrabs mentioned, Mitchell received no Brownlow votes in 1991, despite averaging an outstanding 31.32 disposals per game (689 disposals from 22 games), including 13 games of 30+ disposals, 3 games of 40+ disposals and only 1 game of less than 23 disposals. Mitchell had a similar season in 1992 - 29.64 disposals per game (652 disposals from 22 games) - and only received one Brownlow vote that year. It's fair to say that playing well in a poor side hurt him at this point in his career.

Greg Williams, Round 10, 1993 - Carlton vs. Melbourne @ Princes Park
44 disposals, 1 goal in a 54-point win, no Brownlow votes.

Mil Hanna received the 3 votes for his 19 disposals and 0 goals. This lack of recognition cost Williams the 1993 Brownlow Medal, as just one more vote would have seen him level with Essendon's Gavin Wanganeen at the end of the count.

FAIREST and Best

You may all forget thier are 2 criteria for the Brownlow, but the Umpires do not it seems.

Many of the excellent players listed above also had shoddy tribunal records. Has a bearing.

Lost him the Brownlow that year as well.

I think I remember reading a story about that. Two of the umpires wanted to give him three votes but one of the umpires refused to give him votes becaused he had abused him during the game. It was only a year or so ago that one of the former umpires spilt the beans about it.

Sure you aren't thinking about the article a few years back about Buddha Hocking in 1996?

The umpire came out and said that he was Cleary best a field in the round 13 clash against Fitzroy (35 disposals, 6 marks, 4.1 in a victory) but didn't give him the 3 votes because he and I quote 'showed a bit of cheek.' I believe he went on to say if he had the chance again the 3 votes would have been Hockings.

Instead Hocking only received the 1 vote and came Runner-Up to James Hird and Michael Voss in that year’s count by 2 votes.
