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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

  • Quote

    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.

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

    $67 Sidebottom to win.

    So how much did you have placed?

    I’ve never bet on the award.

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

    Yep, I'm done.

     

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
