Brownlow Medal Night

[stuie 7,374]

Can't believe a guy in a team that won 3 games is favourite for the Chas, even if it is Gaz Jnr.

I've had a little flutter on Kennedy, Mitchell, and Thompson. Kennedy is my hot tip, averaged 28 touches for a top 4 team. Thompson averaged just under 30 in the 2nd place team, but the umps don't seem to like him, so who knows?!

Who are you guys tipping? (Range Rover don't bother answering, cos we all know who you think is the greatest AFL player ever)

Cotchin and Watson to tie

[Sir Why You Little 36,621]

A midfielder.

Just not sure if their teams won enough games... Also, I don't know the figures, but in the last 10-15 years it seems like the Brownlow has quite often gone to someone from a team in the Grand Final

3 games stuie, and he had a better season.

Ablett-Watson-Swan.

Never used to be that way stuie.

Go back a little way and it was quite often won by someone from a middle to lower ranked side.

Theory was that a good player in those teams did not have many other players in their team taking votes.

But I have to admit lack of interest in recent years has reduced my knowledge.

Personally I think it should be renamed the Mid field players award

You would need to be the defender of the century to get a vote let alone win

[Sir Why You Little 36,621]

Yes the Defenders & forwards to a lesser degree have every right to be feeling Peeved tonight.

When are they ever invited or even considered to drink all those Crownies on Camera? As for the Red Carpet, who cares. I would rather attend The Mens Gallery up the road!!!

Sam Mitchell.

He's a mid fielder.

He's blonde.

His team won more games than any other team.

He gets a lot of touches.

He is perceived to be a fair player.

no. Good luck to him. I still believe we didn't try hard rnough to keep him here. Our midfield has been rubbish ever since he left.

Apologies to Jonesy.

Yes, i would still be happy for him. But a big sigh and thoughts about what could of been

[H_T 3,032]

Sorry. Than last year. Something like 8 games over 40 possessions this year.

he polled 23 last year.

Swan had 34 last year. Mitchell 30*.

i would rather be queing up for GF seats in the Members Stand wearing my colours in the street.

Swan had 34 last year. Mitchell 30*.

But his team got smashed every week pretty much, plus Bennell would take a few votes. I reckon GC were better last year than this year so I would expect him to get about the same amount of votes.

Kennedy is still my top tip, tons of possies in a top 4 team, and Goodes had an average year so I think JK will get most of the attention. Under the radar a bit because he's not from a Vic club.

Mate I believe that ST was going home to play for Adelaide from the day he was drafted.

My clear memory of that time was similar to TS.

The day TS took a two year deal I knew was not going to stay, family said sit it out for two years and see what develops.

My memeory of ST was that his family wanted him home in Adelaide.

It would not have mattered who drafted him he was going back home sooner or later.

I have never thought of him as a player we lost because I never believed he wanted to be anywhere else but home in Adelaide.

The dees were just a stop alone that journey.

No Thompson or Dangerfield? Easily the best 2 players in the 2nd placed team. Or are you figuring they'll steal votes of each other too much?

[old dee 23,487]

Melbourne Hawks?

Now there is a man with vision!
