who was the worst player to win a brownlow medal?

[Altum Volantes]

I was going to make this thread, but since this one already exists it should be fine?

For me, it's Matthew Priddis.

Nah, Priddis has Woewodin covered across his career.

He did go runner up the year after winning it too...

I was less shocked with Priddis winning the Brownlow he was good solid player not flashy but did his job most weeks & was consistent.

Shane Woewodin was a huge shock that he won although did have a good year & never showed that form again.

its so ******* obviously Jobe you morons.

Disgraced plodder who stole one.

Pretty dumb comment

Watson was a star, if it wasn't for injuries he wod have had about 4 AAs

Doesn't count, history shows that Sam Mitchell and Trent cotchin won the 2012 Brownlow due to jobe's drug cheating

Its dumb to point out that a drug cheat should have zero claim on a Brownlow medal?

Or that Gil is a gutless flog for letting him keep it and lying every time he is asked about it ?

 

[raymond35]

A better question but probably just as tired would be best player never to win. The correct answer of course is Lethal but Hungry and others have claims.

Fellow named Gary Ablett Snr never won one. Hard to believe actually.

Well not so much considering he had a pretty consistent habit of getting reported and was never all that popular with the umpires...

Although that didn’t stop Williams or Lockett.

True he wasn't the fairest, but he was certainly the best, by a long way.

Andrew McLeod as well.

You really have been around since the dawn of time, haven't you?

Woewodin was lucky to win but I think most people seem to forget just how good he actually was that year compared to the rest of his mediocre career.

Priddis is the least talented player to win it but he was a hard and consistent worker not to mention a good bloke.

Watson

Cant be any worse than Jobe Watson and I don’t even mean because it got stripped.

, Mat Priddis, Jimmy Bartel, etc.. are better than him

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

Jobe Watson is big footy's answer to Donald Trump.

The campaigner has been retired for 3 years and we can't stop talking about him. Living in your heads rent free.

Is it rent free though? He brings joy to my otherwise dull life. I can't speak for everyone, but I feel like he's paying.

He certainly brings gravitas to the position of "special" comments in the commentary box, I think its funny in a sad kinda way, but I certainly don't let it interfere with the normal functioning of my life like others

. I think even he was surprised he won it

 

[Substance]

No one knows what impact TB-4 had if any, so Jobe should be excluded from these discussions.

Also, Cooney is a wrong answer.

 

[BF Tiger]

Woewoedin is interesting. Debuted late (20y 258d), retired early (29y 45d), only played 9 seasons but still managed 200 games. 24 votes in his Brownlow year and 12 votes 3 years later out of a career total of 57 votes. Only polled in 25 games in his career.

Didn't he get votes for a 10 disposal game?

Didn't get votes in a 10 disposal game in his Brownlow year, but did get 3 votes for a 19 disposal game (19 disp, 5 marks) in a game in which 40 goals were kicked.

 

[Roobs321]

I feel like Woewodin's best couple years, Priddis at least doubled that in his productive decade. I was a fan of both of them when they won, so personally I was pretty thrilled. Aker was another nice surprise. Given the maligning that hung around Priddis, it was a bit funny, but he also wasn't undeserving and was by then a proven vote threat.

If talking the individual season, then maybe Wanganeen, but across his career he was quite special, a genuine matchwinner when he wanted to be.

therse also likely a value to the 2-3 languages he invents every game

You should smoke more bud

 

[Goomba1973]

Wanganeen by the length of the MCG, and all roads leading to it. A complete embarassment to the medal.

Still a bit sore about 93GF eh?

 

[thylacine60]

Shane Woewodin.

Why?

I say because he is the only winner I know of who never made an All Australian team. Not once in a 200+ game career!

Apologies if there have been others. They too should be considered for a nomination for this title.

The inaugeral and only winner of the Kouta Medal.

not as sore as me!!
