Brownlow Medal 2018

Recommended Posts

It would be great to see Maxxy take the Brownlow Medal home. I'm clearly biased, but, of the main contenders, I think he's been the most consistent throughout the season, the most vital to the success of the team, and the fairest.

Plus I put some money on him when he was $12, so I'm hoping for a little money to get some drinks to forget Saturday's game...

Oliver and Gawn a big chance to both poll 20+ votes.

Gawn should win it, but as we know its a midfielders award.  Maxy was the dominant player in the comp by far.    Oliver might win it too though. 

If Tom Mitchell wins it, I will spew.

There is no question in my mind that Max should win the brownlow tonite. He wont though coz the umps will favour a small midfielder who has been blown around by the media since the begining of the year. Max deserves it. He provides a wonderful assistance to the midfielders, takes intercept marks down back and provides a good marking option up forward. That mitchell just gets it and kicks it.

Brownlow votes should be determined by analysts (tv, radio, etc) instead of umpires. These dodgy pricks cant even adjudicate a game fairly/consistently, how can we expect them to award votes fairly.

Ablett's 3 votes in round1 is a perfect example of these idiots voting with theirs hearts and not their heads.

Has that D'head McLachlan started his ridiculous pauses before naming votes for the leaders yet? It is the major reason i wont watch the Brownlow vote.

Totally unnecessary, particularly in the early rounds.

I’m amazed at how well you guys remember who played well in what games. I’ve got a pretty good memory but I reckon I’m doing alright when I can remember whether or not we won the game, let alone who played in it and if they went well. It shocks me every year.

Yes. 

I truly hate the telecast of the Brownlow. Can’t help myself though.

How the [censored] did Gawn not get votes for the Carlton game? 44 hit outs, 4 clearances, 8 score involvements, 2 goals. 0 votes.

Done with this stupid award. 

Let me guess, they didn't miss the chance to give Cripps votes though?

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
