2017 Brownlow Medal

[Lucifers Hero 40,523]

I recall reading that our attendees are Jones, Viney, Hibberd and Oliver.

Oliver is predicted to score about 18 to 22 votes. 

If so he will be our highest vote scorer for more than a decade...

Amazing achievement for a second year player.  What impressed me was he continued to get votes in the second half of the year when we were losing games.  That is the mark of a really good player (dare I say 'elite') - a high performer in good and bad times.

If Oliver polls in the top 10 - 20 players, it shows how idiotic the selection of the AA squad of 40 really is.

Tom McDonald too.

I hope Nev Jetta polls like mad to shove it up the cretins who continue to ignore him.

Seriously, how does a guy whose name was in AA discussions all year not get an invite to the Brownlow?

I will watch the Brownlow for the first time in 10 years as we had a good season and a few of the losses were real close, so we should get our most votes in a long long time.

Would be awesome to see Clayton get 20+ votes.  We havent had a player do that since Woewodin.

Thanks - forgot about Tom.

I thought the same thing about Jetta.  They invited only 5 players from each team and Tom got a spot by virtue of being in the leadership team.  Or because we have 2 captains they both get invited. 

No offence to Tom but I would prefer the AA squad nominees got a gig first.

Oliver paying $5 with TAB to finish top 5 and $3.25 to poll over 18.5 votes.

Both odds tempting.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

I reckon Clarry will have a great opening 10-12 rounds and then tail off as the season progresses.  It's still amazing he's done so well for a kid so young.

[Drunkn167 5,093]

Got a fair bit of money for Clarry to get 17+ votes, not the wisest move but let's do this boys!!!

The most drawn out, painfully slow, advertisement ridden, boring hours of television there is. Will be watching something else.

Agree 100%.

Good lord clarry, well and truly punching above his weight 

[Wiseblood 24,637]

They just had a small piece on Jack Viney and his missus getting ready for the Brownlow.  He blamed Jack Watts for the price of his partners dress and vowed to have words with him about it.

His sister?

 

[Macca 17,113]

Hunt might poll quite well (12+ votes?) ... he's the type that the umpires may notice. 

There again,  I'm not very good at these types of things.  

As others have said,  Clarry should receive about 20 votes or so.

 

Edit:  Ugh

I did a bit of painting maintenance at The Manor today - various stains and fluids etc  were getting a bit ugly.

Anyway, I'd find it far more entertaining to watch said paint drying than tune into the brownlow.

You'll miss out on something called a Dami Im that can apparently sing.
