Not far from the truth, a truth of which most people who think he's a knockabout top block, have either forgotten or are too young.

Perhaps we should constantly remind betting agencies to choose spokespeople responsibly.

Do you really believe that his history would be a negative in the eyes of betting agencies?

Swan was clearly given free reign to say whatever he felt with the betting company’s account, and attendees felt the brunt of it at times.

You know what Clayton Oliver would be if he wasn’t a footballer? A virgin. #Brownlow

"Swanny would be the guy that puts stickers on apples if he didn't play AFL," he hit back.

Pretty sure it's the public so logically the clubs with the biggest supporter bases are advantaged.

Sucks for clubs like Collingwood with small supporter bases.

Reckon the Eagles game didn't help Clarry as far as umps go. Pathetic really considering all the diving Danger etc do.

Nice of the umpires to not give Danger any votes in round 22 to ensure he didn't win and embarrass the AFL!

Rnd 22 - Dangerfield:  32 disposals, 12 clearances and two goals.  BOG from every other award voters.

Umpires colluding is even more embarrassing than Danger winning - that it is not in the spotlight does not make it less unethical.

2 point loss to Freo and a 13 point loss to the Tigers where we dominated for all but the last term, and we didn't score a vote in either.

Get stuffed.

I'm so glad I fell asleep prior to the telecast, I think I would have smashed my TV after round 5.

Wow, the above is a disgrace!

I am glad Oliver didn't poll as well as he should have. Will be better odds next year. I think Dusty, Kelly, Oliver and Fyfe. Winner probably comes within those 4. The quality of talent around at present is insane. Martin is as good a mid as I've seen, and he should get better. It will take a very special player to beat him next year (Martin is only improving). Oliver, Kelly and Fyfe are all unique talents.

Oliver is  few years away. 

It seems their is a bit of a seniority/personality content to the voting.  Do your time or be a media darling and you get noticed.  eg Pendlebury 15 votes from 16 (mostly losing) games.

And Matt Crouch only 11 votes!!

None of the six young guys in the Coaches Award top 10 (Merrett, Josh Kelly, Oliver, Matt Crouch, Ross or Zorko) were in the Brownlow top 10.  Proves the point about seniority/personality gets the votes.  Who got it wrong?  The coaches know a thing or two and they have a birds eye view of the game.

The Brownlow has become a media fanfare and a farce!

And Oliver, not to be intimidated responded:

Swanny would be the guy that puts stickers on apples if he didn't play AFL ??

Oliver takes no cr-p on the field nor off the field!!  Well done!

The umpires are as casual as i am, i wouldn't be able to pick most of them apart in a line up.

Actually I think Dane Swan himself suggested he'd be putting stickers on apples if he wasn't a footballer a few years back. Fake news?

They should do the count on the radio like old times. Phone the winner to tell them to come into AFL house in the morning. 

And get the sheilas to phone in descriptions of what they would have worn to the papers.

And to think no other club wanted Dusty last time he was ooc.

We overlooked him on draft night, didn't try to get him a couple of years ago. 

Great.

Our drafting continues to hurt us Kelly 21pts, Wines 19 ... 

 

Well, this is something new. Can we have a new thread where we can explore all the misfires in our recruiting over the last 100 years?

Ten talking points

1- Viney & Oliver in the precount fashion segments. All class. 

2- Jack Fitzpatrick.  Got his dream to go to the Brownlow

3- I hate Sportsbet & all that rubbish. Dane Swan is a total tool. 

4- mark of the year ... Danihers was great.  Howe’s was unbelievable and better. Deserved to win it (again)

5- Bruce Mac is very annoying.  Dusty held his nerve. 

6- umps hate Melbourne. Proven v Freo ... lost by 2 points in last minute  No Votes

7- Daisy Pearce is a star

8- sure Martin was pick 3 and the Dees picked Scully & Trengove. But who wouldn’t at the time. We made draft bloopers but these choices were solid at the time. Unlike drafting Lucas Cook, Gysberts, Strauss etc

9- Matisse Stynes. Jimmy would be proud. She was very good. 

10- Jonesy sure was BOG in the fashion stakes. Great style.

I didn't watch it but that is by far the best assessment of the media stuff this morning.  Very positive!  Thank you.

I wish I had seen the Matisse part and Daisy. 

Daisy always has such class and poise.  Is it possible for her to take over from Bruce...:o

Tmac getting 9 votes as a forward. I think that's where he plays now, he just doesn't seem to have it as a defender.

sheesh.......based on the umpires' opinion......surely you jest

Oliver only 12 votes? Ridiculous. I suspect he paid the price for being too chatty on field. Umps don't like being talked back to.

Daisy's intelligence & poise really showed up Bruce's yappy little puppy thing.

I wonder how long it took Dusty last night to stop Bruce from humping his leg?

 

Overall we finished 9th on the brownlow team ladder much like the season ladder!

Positive is we had the most amount of players poll votes which means an even contribution!

Reality we don't yet have an outright star/s who can poll high votes.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
