News The 2018 Brownlow Medal winner! Tom Mitchell!

[Ned Ryerson]

So the House of Tom and Jaeger only scored 4 points less than the Holy Trinity. #SoldTheFarm

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

I don't know if anyone mentioned it but this Tom Mitchell bloke aint bad at football.

 

[Pessimistic]

So Mitchell was pushed out of Sydney to pay for Kurt Tippett?

Semi understandably they wanted to keep Heeney and give him more game time. Hindsight shows they are now cutting Hanners (before three older guys)

Thrown in Shiels to make our own trinity, we did better.

So did Collingwood, just quietly - Sidebottom, Pendlebury and Treloar.

If they knew at the end of 2012 that they were going to get Bud, why did they go off and get Tippett? He was largely ineffective once Bud came, and led them to lose Mumford, Mitchell and one more player whose name escapes me.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Drinks are on Tom if his manager followed through on that interview fee!

 

[TazHawk15]

Well deserved for all his hard work

Huge congrats Tom.

That looks like about 6 interviewers, so $6,000 to Tommy!

So...who here has already ordered some Brownlow merch? I have, though certainly none of the really expensive stuff.

When you realise Treloar is the only one that even approaches Mitchell and Jags age. Kiddy gloves are well and truly off with Jags next year too, not expecting major differences in regards to stats but like Mitchell after his first year he's had time to gel.

Not sure what you mean here?

I would expect he would be managed as he needs to be managed, just like any other player and just like he has been this year?

 

[Harper_Hawk]

Needs help in the midfield.. a real bull in there. Otherwise Tom will be bunged up in a few years. They should put some Kegs on crazy eyes Howe and let him play wreck it ralph till he konks out.

 

[buddylove23]

Well done Tommy, much deserved!!!

 

[Thaihawk]

what i really love is the fact that the media "experts" kept telling us it would be the year of the ruckman .. and even better was the fact that i didnt hear any of them say anything about sidebottom ... smart bunch huh

I would think Sidebottom, Brayshaw, Oliver and Trealor can thank Grundy and Max for many of the votes they received.

 

[MrPremiership]

Wonder how many touches Mitchell would get if he was at the feet of Gawn, Grundy or Naitanui

 

[Thaihawk]

Took a quick browse of how the Druggies board responded to a Hawk winning the medal, and it was as predicted.
Quotes like, "Tom in the first Hawk to win since Crawf," and " Congratulations to swan, Tom Mitchell." Then teay say they are over Jobe being stripped of his medal.

Tempted to drop a few one liners here and there, but resisted the temptation.

 

[A Cut Above]

All the opposition salt I’m seeing makes Tom’s medal even sweeter. He’s so consistent it’s unlikely to be his last one either.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Any way we can hang a Brownlow around Tom's neck in the forum background?

Same. Reads the ruck contests as well as anyone ever! Selling Big Boy a bit short also!

 

[The King!]

great win to a great player, thought he spoke well too. Hard work paying off, should get more respect from the clueless rabble now.

Sucks he doesnt play for us, but has also become a better player so he might the right call even if our club farked it up

Will never get respect from that rabble. His possessions don’t hurt right?!

Yep but Greg Williams would also be a slow spud if he played today too with those types of footy watchers

Literally the best part is the opposition salt.

Another Brownlow for the collection. Well don Tom on a Colossal and Tireless year!
