Tom Mc not a single vote. Ridiculous.

I say that every year. Brownlow is overrated. We don't rate umpires doing their job, why would we rate how they think players play? My tip is Jake Melksham.

Must have been hard to care about WAGs when Hitler’s corpse was barely cold and half the world was in ruins...

I think Fyfe would've copped it from us given how skinny he was when he was drafted. He might not have reached this potential with us not to mention the WA factor

The body he has now is ridiculous though. I wonder what the hard-work/genetics/good-training-methods ratio is there.

Howe a bit stiff to miss mark of the year but it was always going to go to the human highlight reel, Nic. Nat. But in pure athleticism, Howe got up there without assistance and from the side. Degree of difficulty quite high I thought.

It is rather ironic that a big man like Nic Nat wins the mark of the year when he took just 30 marks in 20 games for an average of just 1.5 per game.One and a half marks a game for a ruck man is rather puny to put it mildly. No doubt his athleticism gained him the award in this case. Howe was superior with his effort. By the way, big Maxy took 57 marks in just 13 games at an average of 4.3.

JPK fourth in the count but couldn't get a gig in the AA side.

And second in the AFL coaches award I think...what a disgrace

The AA selectors are, and always have been pathetic. Remember when Yze couldn't get in despite winning/top placing in multiple media awards? The nuffies said " oh, you have to do it over a number of years.." honestly they are all a joke, the Rising Star, the Brownlow the AA side etc.

The media are in love with NicNat. Great highlights reel but thats about it for mine.

Actually go and watch his under 18s video.. its actually quite bad! Lol

But it also proves how hard he has worked to get to where is now. Probably skinnier then what Jack Watts was and is now one of the beast midfielders of the competition.

He fact he used to match up on Cale Morton in the backyard says it all.

His kicking still isn't THAT great. He's just so explosive and strong through the core, it seems like others simply can't tackle him.

He's an outright champion. Priddis is a great story but Fyfe is more the type of player you think of when you think Brownlow medal winner.

Great winner, humble and down to earth. Very composed despite Bruce creaming himself with every cringeworthy question.

It really has become a midfielders medal. Top 10 were mids before Goldstein. Bit ridiculous that players like Tom Mac and Heath Shaw didn't poll a vote. The umps really need to start taking notice of players outside the centre square!

I had a pretty good laugh when Fyfe suggested that Bruce would win a Brownlow with Sandilands hitting it down his throat.

what gun Fyfe is. played the second half of the season on one leg and missed 4 games and still won. he would have cracked 40 votes if he stayed fit

on another topic, I think they should officially exclude defenders from the brownlow. its [censored] ridiculous. obviously the umpires have no appreaciation for the skill involved in being a good defender. they just vote for whoever gets the ball the most

T Mac gettin no votes and Scarlet hardly polling over the years when he was one of the best players of the past 30 years sums it up.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
