I mean your little boy Daicos is part of the possible problem you're trying to and failing to raise here.

Does any reasonable footy pundit still give the Brownlow any credibility? I haven't for years.
Rowell could get votes for eating grass
Can someone please pull Dillon aside and tell him that there's no suspense when you read out J ...... Daicos?
It's the J that kind of gives it away.

Nasiah needs to start eating grass along with 34 possies and 4 goals and then he might get 3 votes ?.
If Nas can’t get 3 against Melbourne then that is definitive proof that these idiots have no idea what they’re doing.
Pack it in, blow it up and start again.

That will finish pie fans for the week

i think maybe nicky d should focus more on his contested ball and less on his cheap outside possessions. the AFL umpires (who know what they're doing) are exactly right highlighting just how matt rowell has chewed up the competition. deserved vote.
play less selfishly in the future, nick, and you might have a chance!

Umpires have lost it
I’m against taking away the most prestigious award in the game from the group that’s been adjudicating it for 100 odd years, but shit they’re making it hard.

did you feel the same way last year or is it just a 2025 thing with vote inflation

well, it aint prestigious anymore
Yeah look I'm usually in the 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' camp, but those st kilda melbourne votes just leave no room for doubt. It's broke, it needs fixing.
The umpires simply cannot be trusted with this in future. I dont know what you replace it with but it's farcical having the most prestigious award in the game depend on choices made by people who are outright delusional.

Yes, I think that will be the last time I bother with the Brownlow. Some serious questions need to be asked by the AFL as to its relevance, and the way it is presented. The 3-2-1 system is an anachronism and needs review. I know it's an umpires' award, but are they the best qualified people to be determining what is touted as the most Prestigeous individual award in football?
From halfway into the count, it became obvious it was between Daicos and Rowell. Every round, the second last match read out was the Collingwood game, the last match being the Gold Coast match, all done to create suspense and drama in true television style. Daicos evens the score, Rowell jumps ahead, and it happened round after round. Quickly race through the other 7 matches and then slow down for the Collingwood and Gold Coast games.
This indicates to me, that in order to set it up, people HAD to know who won the award before the count started. And this being the case, it proves to me the danger of people being able to bet on a race that has already been won.
Add to the fact only midfielders have any chance at all, the award has become rather dull. Nope, that's it for me. Something needs to change for me to watch it in future. Incidentally, Mark and Goal of the Year, was that a stark reminder as to how dull the game has become. An average mark, and a goal from a player running straight at goal from 50 metres, a routine occurrence you see every week.

Replace the umps with the system they use to do the Norm Smith, I reckon they generally get that right and often give it to a player who you know would never have got the three votes if the umpires were doing it
The best players are inside mids. You put them there as it is where they can most frequently affect the game.

It's not just inside mids. The award, especially in the last decade, has been dominated by one specific type of inside mid. If you aren't at ground level winning hard ball and clearances, you are no chance. Players that burst out of stoppages or rotate forward/hit the scoreboard while still playing inside mid are less likely to poll votes
