Brownlow Medal 2018

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,833]

The Richo and Cooney thing cracked me up.  When asked how he felt about Cooney getting booed when he received  votes - Richo: "I didn't notice, I was just happy getting all the adulation", lol.

So we want to believe the dlickheads called unpires who can't even interpret most rules correctly are the be all and end all judges of who wins a football match.

Hence, Grundy AWOL, Gawn AWOL, Oliver AWOL.

I wrest my cases.

[Go the Biff 3,434]

Isaac Heeney got Mark of the Year. Disappointing he didn't thank Pedo in his acceptance speech. That hospital pass onto Hogan's head was perfection

[trout 385]

If the count continues this way it’s going to be very interesting listening and reading the media tomorrow. Both Gawn and Grundy had amazing years and both deserve to be near the top.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Complete farce. Only one player in the top 10 that isn't a midfielder and it's bloody Franklin! 

Becoming incredibly clear the umpires aren't fit to award points for this award any more. There needs to be a better way, either with coaches or an esteemed voting panel that can adequately adjudicate these things without the midfielder bias.

Clayton Oliver has 3 votes after 11 rounds..

The umpires are 100% brain dead.

If Max doesn't get 3 votes against the Dog second time around, would be more evidence.

[Jibroni 5,004]

Maybe next year Demonland should do its own 3 2 and 1votes and send it to AFL.

Keep the coaches votes secret, find a popular ex coach to name it after (not Sheedy), hype it up in the media and let it take over from the Brownlow.

Agree, this award is a farce, hate everything about it

[chook fowler 19,459]

Can’t stomach this broadcast any more. I’m gorne.

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Might be the only one, but I'm happy for the umpires to be clueless about who played well in any particular game. They are there only to adjudicate the game and are too often clueless about that. I wish they went back to the days when umpires weren't 'personalities' and they stayed completely out of the limelight (I'm talking to you Razer).

The sooner Brownlow voting is taken away from them, the better.

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

How did Gawn get no votes against the Saints just then? Absolutely bizarre.

[McQueen 17,864]

$67 Sidebottom to win.

So how much did you have placed?

[Deemented Are Go! 3,680]

Looks like Dusty’s put away a few sherbets! 

[Jaded No More 68,949]

Helmet sure helps get votes

I’ve never bet on the award. 

[Demon Jack 6,911]

Clarry had 40 touches against the Cats and missed out on a single vote.

Yep, I'm done.

 

[rolling fog 1,207]

Blues players acting like such tools

[layzie 33,814]

Worst Brownlow for years. Boring as BS.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Music acts, endless padding, Broooooce's cringe worthy interviews with drunk players, and it's 10.30 and they're still reading out votes. 

This is the Brownlow under the auspices of the clueless morons at Channel 7 who think people will stomach bloated [censored] like this. Talk about being force-fed cow manure by a broadcaster who are happy to treat their audience like morons. 

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,833]

G Ablett Jnr has certainly been worthy in the past, but recon he got a heap of cheap votes this year.

The bias towards "champions" is so blatant. His season was barely above average. Well and truly past it but racks up votes because of his surname.
