After Saturday, it’s hard to smile.  

But tonight we have big Max Gawn as a Brownlow medal chance. 

Tipped to get 20-23 votes and be top 3. 

Can we dream. 

He has had a great year. 

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.

And look for Angus to poll very well.. around the 15 vote mark.

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.

Ablett 3 votes in round 1 ?

He was a seagull.

Clayton oliver 35 dosposals against brisbane and yet 0 votes.

[censored] off umps

Give it to Mitchell now

Will tune in later, maybe Round 15 

Watching the red carpet part, waiting for the vote count proper to start reminded me how footballers can be such C grade celebrities and what a complete w@#ker Patrick Dangerfield is.

Tom Mitchell will get 40 votes going by this early start.

Absolute joke this voting. 

What do you expect from a bunch of part timers who can’t get simple rules right?

Anything good happening?

Forgot how boring the Brownlow was, haven watched it in years.

Its about as interesting as an episode of The Footy Show.

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.

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. 

Well we won't be winning a Brownlow tonight getting votes soread across the team and we're just getting close to the point where Brayshaw hits form

Jones polling a bit more than I expected. 

Gawn already trailing a bit to a point where a Brownlow seems unlikely.

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.

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

Nev Jetta is an excellent human being 

Nev just won the Jim Stynes Community award! Well done Nev!
