Roast The Brownlow has no credibility left

[Sherrinator]

Neale is a victim of consistently high standards which is why the low IQ AA selectors got the team so wrong.

 

[JackFlash]

It's a TV show now, the winner is just part of the script...

 

[#cats2021]

Kudos to Neale for being straight to the point 'it doesn't sit well with me at all to be honest.'

Then went on later to say he had nothing prepared.

Absolutely shambolic result, Neale has had a very solid season but nothing more. He himself would be the first to admit that.

For the love of Michael Christian take the ****ing votes away from the umpires.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Umpires can't umpire properly but they are expected to award the most prestigious medal in the game?

COOL.

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Having go back 24 years to find a clear wrong decision shows how good it is.

Actually we only have to go back 30 minutes

Bont was clearly best mid in the comp.

Mate did you not watch last year when Cripps won. If he wasn’t embarrassed nobody ever will be.

If it wasn't for Cripps getting it last year via legal loopholes Neale wouldn't have won this year's. It happens every year where a player who did well but didn't win the previous year gets a charity boost. I'd have rather he'd won last year's.

 

[Belnakor]

Lachie lost last year because of tribunal incompetence.

Very very good point mate.

Sometimes you miss one because of bullshit and you get rewarded the next year. Ie swan in 2011 or Fyfe in 2015.

He did poll 3 votes in a game where he had 20 possessions, 13 of them handballs. I gave up trying to understand how they came up with the votes years ago

In that game, his contested game was elite. If umpires are close to the contest and see him completely dominating, they're going to notice him far more than a chip-scab getting 20x 1-2 handballs the entire game.

 

[Shane Heard]

Gulden should have had 3 in the last game.

Him and Trac clearly the two best players that day and they polled 1 vote between them

Gee that's not company you want to be involved with.

They're all Brownlow medalists so I'd be ecstatic to be in that company!

I would too but he deserves to be a dual Brownlow medalist and now he is.

Would have liked to see the Bont draw but that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

 

[Elixuh]

You could tell Neale didn’t even want to be there, it’s that easy for him. What a cool calm customer.

 

[smeggaz]

Gulden 42 and 2 goals against demons

Did you say the same last year? Or is this a conveniently recent revelation.

 

[Shane Heard]

Did some research. Woewodin in 2000, Mitchell in 2012, Priddis in 2014 and now Neale in 2023 are the Brownlow Medallists who haven't made AA. AA starting in 1991.

Says it all

 

[dlanod]

Kind of felt that the year Tom Mitchell won. If you didn't know it already it became a midfielders stat collector awards. Most of the play is in the middle generally so that's what umps mostly see.

Go at least a decade before Tom...

So its still a good process then? Not sure awards work like this anywhere else in the world.

I'd be ok with either one of them getting the 3 votes. But combining for 1...

 

[bzparkes]

Lachie Neale won because Nick got injured

Bradbury Brownlow if I've ever seen one.

Don't get injured then.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Kudos to Neale for being straight to the point 'it doesn't sit well with me at all to be honest.'

Way to warp the context.

 

[Atomboy]

Only two sides win flags at a lesser rate than Collingwood and one is St Kilda

Very well then

 

[bzparkes]

And

In 2018 the eventual premiership captain wasn't AA captain, despite being the only captain in the side. He lost it to a bloke not even in his club's leadership team.

AFL awards are generally a joke. Are people really surprised?

 

[ashep]

The dumbest thing about the Brownlow is that it presumes that the top 3 performances in each game are worth the same votes.

Dominating a top of the table clash full of AA stars only gets you the same number of votes as winning a wooden spoon cripple fight.

Because everyone loves Crippa.

Umpires have always been in love with him.
