Brownlow Medal Night


stuie

Recommended Posts

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.

good players rarely leave good clubs.

The MFC didn't try hard enough, or didn't know how.

It was during the Gardner reign.

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.

Bennell could not get a kick in a football factory

Oh you mean that Bennell!

Our midfield has been rubbish ever since he left.

Apologies to Jonesy.

Awwwwww........ what about Beamer last year? 19 Chas votes? What could have been if he slimmed down and bought in as Neeld demanded, eh?.......

(awaiting a barrage of abusive posts....)

Sam Mitchell over Thompson and Cotchin for mine.

Kennedy will be on 12 after 4 or 5 games and not poll again till Round 17. Him and Cotchin are the two lay's of the night in my opinion. Beams to beat Swan in Collingwood votes is a decent bet, and I think it'll be a trifecta in some order of Watson, Thompson & Ablett.

Just slapped a fifty on Micthell for the Medal and 10 for the double.

Only because the world is conspiring against me and I hate him so much.

I can't stand the idea that only players from the winning side can win best-on-ground perfrmances. It is an evolution of modern Brownlow voting that would have made players from the past seethe.

Bobby Skilton

Gary Dempsey

Kevin Murray

These blokes were guns and champions and would thrive in any era. They went in, got it, played inside and outside abd were rarely beaten. They are also the reason why the word "fairest" should remain the first word in the trophy, before "best". Modern Brownlow voting is too much about the bestplayer in the winning side, and not about the fairest and best footballer.

Ablett should rock it in, but I am not sure if the umpires will give him enough votes considering how often GC lost.

Sam Mitchell will probably win it

In the double (10 bucks) I have but I am "rooting" for the Bloods.

Scott Thompson played four years for Melbourne. Hardly a bloke that was going home the day he got here....

As for the line 'his family wanted him home'... I just don't know what to say to that,

I've had a bad cold for a couple of days and was out of it for most of the day today. Then I tuned into Foxtel's Red Carpet programme and I was doing well until I saw Brynne Edelsten.

Dead set. I'm having a relapse!

She really needs to spend more on material for her dresses.

She truly puts the ass in Brassy.

The Dodgy Doc is a tripper.

Why couldn't he just find a nice Jewish girl instead ?

His mother would be turning in her tomb.

She'll make Bingle look like Geoffrey Robertson.

A whole TV show dedicated to an orange cleavage.

FFS-I really hope they dont show it during meal times.

yep

Yeah you're probably spot on there, Thompson has had a slightly better year I reckon, but the umps don't like him much, read somewhere he has the highest free kick differential or something along those lines... Still, great year for a 2nd placed team, has a chance

My expectation is that her show won't last three weeks but then again, Big Brother caters for imbeciles and that's still going.

My concern is how on earth did Brynne crack an invite? The only way it could be possible is that the Seven Network is shamelessly cross promoting her forthcoming programme.

Oops, I'm having another relapse. She was on again!

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
