Enjoy it mate no club more deserving of it.

Does this mean Richmond now has the biggest GF drought in vic :) :)

81 was the last for them IIRC without looking it up. Massive lols
Oi! '82 mate! :p

Also FWIW, our premiership drought still isn't as bad as Melbourne and the Sainters - plus the Dogs (though I hope they end theirs this Saturday!). ;)

Reckon he'll still poll as well when the rest of the players come back next season?

Crippa polled 18 I think. It's good to see those younger guys get their due recognition.
Not sure. I guess if he's getting noticed like that when we're winning a lot of games, he might get just as noticed next year. Of the players returning the only one who I really see taking votes from him would be Heppell though.

Starting to take shape now.



Thinking about shifting seat location for next season. From behind the goals right of screen to the Wing on the far side of the ground from the broadcast.
State Government just sold the Port off Melbourne too for 9.7bn. Election year. Get on the phone Cookie. Grease the wheels :)

The Brownlow is so shit.

McGovern got two votes. Two!?

Here are some names who had a better year than McGovern according to the umpires.

Biggs
Stringer
Picken
Wood
Wallis
Stevens
Dalhaus
Johannisen
Hunter
and Bontempelli...

That's just from the Western Bulldogs. Going through the entire AFL and that list becomes huge!

Silly award. Amazing that it's the most prestigious in our game.

All those players had better years than McGovern. That's why they're playing in a GF this weekend.

Not really what Adelaide need. They need some steel into their side.
Gibbs actually is disregarded for that sort of thing imo

He'd improve them in that aspect, Malthouse was someone who helped his inside game imo (was a shining light for them in 2014) and Bolton further helped him this year with it.

From a neutral perspective, Zorko absolutely robbed. His season pissed all over Rockliff's and he didn't even get the most votes for the Lions
Yeah I had a multi with him in it, thought he'd pinch votes like what Neale and Zerrett did, alas nope.

Was ****** anyway

Sitchell most votes Hawthorn, tick
Zorko wrong
Steven wrong and was $1.09 lololol
Treloar, tick
Ward, wrong
Priddis, wrong

2 1sts and 4 2nds

Gotta say, wonder who went big on Shuey? **** me what a spud, Brett Anderson had a massive hard on for him for ages, he's a joke of a stats guy. Gaff absolutely killed it, same with JJK.

Good to see key forwards get votes, Riewoldt, JJK and Lynch all polled well.

Johannisen would've polled a shitload if he didn't get injured, very good year from him imo considering he only played 12-13 H and A games. And the game he did his hammy in he probably would've polled in too if he lasted another quarter.

It's an award that favours excellence. So rather than rewarding those that are consistently good it rewards those that have stellar games.
So based off that I can see why he has less votes than some of those. Also why Merrett got nearly 20 votes. Was constantly Essendon's best and many times in the best couple in the game.

From the games I've seen of the Dogs I have seen Dahlhaus tear games apart. The first 3-4 games this season JJ was BOG. Regardless of the voting system Bont had a better season the McLovin. Period. Hunter had games where he was absolute clear BOG.

I'm glad my Paddy $8 at the line of -8 came off. Thanks Dees for easy 3 in the last round :)

:drunk::drunk::drunk:

And Alex Rance had a better season than McGovern yet only got 5 votes (3 more than JM)

The Brownlow is a midfielder award..... Thought you would've realised that by now :$
