And the winner is...

The AFLPA for forcing Free Agency onto us all.

[Chook 14,800]

Max Gawn should try shaving his head or growing a beard to get noticed by the umpires a little more….

[Beetle 4,409]

Hope Jesse switched the TV off before Dangerfield's acceptance speech..

Yeah, he needs to be more conspicuous. It was help if it was a bit taller.

That was a brilliant speech by Dangerfield. He is a worthy winner and a very clever person to boot.

His take on family being the most important thing in life and how he had the Adelaide table and everyone in the room forgiving his move home was pretty moving. By the end I was going "Oh jeez, home you go Jesse, you get on back to your family, we'll be O.k."

After that speech I think we're in trouble.

More importantly, who was the WAG sitting two seats to Dangers left?

Gaff 21 votes. I think Lachie Neale 20 votes. There are possible trades if he departs.

Such a deserved winner. Won the best and fairest at AFC last year when he would've known he was leaving and then the Brownlow in the following year with his spiritual Club. For me, absolute respect, and that was the most concise speech I have ever seen from a Brownlow medalist. Congratulations P Dangerfield.

Whoever it was, I bet she’s taken. I’m pretty sure she’s someone’s wife and/or girlfriend.

Most likely.  He was a bearded scruffy blonde dude.

Is it Gil reading out the votes?

It's like he knows something.

I found Gill's vote reading was atrocious and hugely disrespectful.  The way he raced through some games like they were meaningless was a massive insult to those teams and players awarded votes in those games.

disgraceful along with the incredible amounts of ads and cross promotion. Gill was racing through them like he was on speed. ridiculous pace.

Did they have him drug tested?

[The Reverend 1,736]

Intelligent, respectful, humble and a deserving winner. I wish he was ours.

They need to shorten it by half an hour bare minimum, the amount of ads is ridiculous. Instead of doing a highlights of every round they should just do it for 2 rounds at a time and I think it would almost be watchable then.

I tuned in at 10:30 and they were only on ROUND 16! I turned off and went to bed.

Channel 7 are such amateurs.

They must have looked at their watch after that because they raced through the last 7 rounds in about 15 minutes

I fell asleep from about rounds 8 to 19, it was that interesting.  Missed Jimmy's award which was a little disappointing.

Seriously great effort by Max, 5 more than Goldstein and I doubt a ruckman can win it for being just a ruckman, needs to kick a forward's bag as well.

[ickey_11 145]

What no votes for the bye round? I though the Melbourne boys were on fire after that disappointing effort down at Geelong....

The AFL should consider two split bye rounds so we can draw this event out even longer. #rivetingtelevision.

A candid commentary on proceedings:  http://www.foxsports.com.au/news/afl-outsider-brett-geeves-on-brownlow-2016-red-carpet-and-dangerfields-victory/news-story/0316816b9091aa53377a0a5aef9fabef  I think we would all agree with this: 

"..And then there’s the Brownlow Medal. — the award for the best and fairest midfielder of the season...The biggest test in this theory was Round 20 when Melbourne beat Hawthorn and Max Gawn got the two votes with Jack Viney collecting the three.

I haven’t seen a more dominant ruck game than the masterclass Gawn put on that day...He was the reason Melbourne won that game and it’s disappointing that he was not rewarded with BOG honours. It only furthers the perception that this is an exclusive midfielders award'.

Seriously, I wonder if the backchat Max gave the umpire (forgotten which game) when he belted the ball away after a bad centre bounce and the umpire challenged him with 'what did you do that for' and Max said 'because its my job', cost him votes thereafter.  Wouldn't put it past them!

Oh, there is a delightful video in that article of kids interviewing some places...Lily interviewing Max is priceless! 

[spirit of norm smith 13,899]

Demons 71 votes... shows the improvement

Dangerfield is a champion player and champion bloke

[Bitter but optimistic 21,754]

I honestly cannot remember when I last watched a Brownlow count.
