BROWNLOW LOOK-ALIKES

Featured Replies

Posted

At Prince's Park on Saturday I couldn't help noticing the similarity in appearance of two young Demons with two old-time Brownlow winners in their youth.(from other Clubs.)

Can anyone guess to whom I'm referring?

 

Clue??

One of the Brownlow winners won 2, at different Clubs.

I'm a bit worried that no-one else will see the resemblance(I am talking more than 30 years ago!)

But there was a THIRD young Demon , also likened to an interstate Brownlow Winner by a mate of mine on Saturday. I hadn't noticed it till he pointed it out. This third one is more recent!

Actually, one of them won 3(sorry 'bout that!....makes it hard when the facts are wrong!!), 2 at one club, one at another.

The recent one plays for Adelaide.

The other one was the oldest player to win it.

By the way the resemblance was in the way the players move,and their style, rather than their facial appearance.

Jamie bennell?? He reminds me A.Mcleod :)

Ian Stewart.

Yep. That's one. Anyone else notice it?

Tom Scully reminded me of him the way he got the ball in packs, got it out fast, or ran in a wide arc on to his left foot. It'd be great if he ever turned out as good overhead as Stewart was. If he turns out half as good he'll be a star.

So who is the other look-a-like youngster and former Brownlow medallist ? Was it Bennell / McLeod of Adelaide ?

Yes, my mate reckons Jamie's like a young McLeod. How'd it be if he develops disposal like his!(a long way to go!)....but he knows how to get the ball.

But who's the third one, who reminds me of the oldest player to win it(when HE was a yougster).?

I can't phone a friend, and Eddie is out of the country. You will have to give us another clue !

When this oldest Brownlow winner received his award, he deliberately wore a long-sleeved jumper to hide his tattoo!.

Our youngster who reminds me of him is tough and hard , under the packs. Similar hair colour, but a lot more of it, at this stage!

I'll be interested to see if any other more senior(in age) posters agree.

Sylvia ?

Supposedly the oldest is Barry Round, but I reckon you're talking about Kevin Murray.

And I'd be guessing Jack Grimes.

If I blur my eyes a little a can see it, not quite so hunched though.

Sorry, I do mean Kevin Murray....I thought he was the oldest.Sorry, I've made it hard getting my facts wrong!!! He must have been surpassed by Barry Round.

But Jack isn't the Demon who reminded me of him. This guy throws himself fearlessly at the ball like Murray did, but I can't see him ever being a CHB....perhaps HBF and midfield.

Jack Trengove ?


+1 on McKenzie for me but no one was faster getting back into the pack on their knees than Bulldog Murray

Was 31 when he won the Brownlow, from behind the fence he never looked younger than about 87 to me though.

Pretty robust 87 year-old it has to be said.

Well done, Fellas!

The three who reminded me of Medallists were....

Jordie McKenzie (Murray)

Tom Scully....(Stewart)

Jamie Bennell.....(McLeod)

Let's hope they all win Brownlows!

I hate to be a stickler here, but Andrew McLeod has never won a Brownlow!

2 Norm Smith Medals and a Champion player but no Brownlow.

I do enjoy the positivity of the thread though :)!

Your mate shouldn't have told you that Bennel reminded him of a Brownlow medalist, but I think it's a fair comparison. I said the same thing very early last year.

It's good to be a stickler. Cannot believe I didn't pick that up. I agree regarding the positivity.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
