Correct. We need to stop holding onto depth players and players who aren’t up to the grade hoping they’ll come good for so long.

It’s his wife.

Some observations

 

1- I’m still surprised Ed Langdon didn’t get a single vote !!! He was clearly BOG vs the Pies. 
 

2- Oliver and Gawn perhaps over voted but they are right under the umps noses in the contest. If Max stays fit, I’d reckon he would be a chance one day to grab a Brownlow.  

3- Trac is a star

4- Steven May is a star. ????
 

5- Trac was best dressed. Three piece suit. 
 

6- Max needs help with his grooming AND another bloke who can’t tie a tie !!!  Great footballer. Funny bloke.  
 

7- Now Trac and Gus have a Brownlow bronze medal.  
 

8- Dees got total 61 votes. 6th highest.

Oliver polled stronger than I expected, good on him it's a change from prior years where he goes under the radar.

2 in the top 10 and Max not far behind it's a great core of a midfield, hopefully we take full advantage next year. We should be looking to emulate the West Coast teams of the mid 00's with their powerful engine room.

Clarry finishes 9th in the league and doesn't finish top 3 in the BnF. What a joke.

Different voting systems though

When you're regularly carrying cloggers like anb, spargo, Wagner's, hannan and oscar you can't expect to win many games. Our fringe players are the worst in the comp.

I'd add Vandenberg Smith and this year Melksham to that list

And different people giving the votes. With any luck, most of those that gave the BnF results will be out the door soon.

What Bout the current WC team and mids ?

 It too shabby in run snd carry and pace!


The voting clearly indicated who the best ruckman in the comp is and it ain’t Naitanui.

I do not rate the Brownlow due to its midfielders bias but it does give a clue to the gulf in Olivers thinking regarding his own performances. And that may be that midfielders think they are more important than anyone else. As for that Bailey Smith getting 3 votes against us. Give me a break.

The thing I've noticed about the brownlow over the years, if you had a good year previous, the umpires already know to look for you, ie. Clarry at Maxy getting plenty votes . I expect Tracc to poll even better next year, same goes with the AA

Looks like Oliver has bragging rights over Viney for the Brownlow and the AA squad.  That should be enough to offset any disappointment at being just a few points behind him in the BnF.

9th is really an amazing effort by Oliver when we had Petracca and Gawn polling well. Hopefully, that quietens the folks on here that have questioned his 2020 performance.  Good to see the umpires finally giving him the recognition he deserves.

The umpires are the worst people to judge the Brownlow.

When the award was minted it made sense but not any more.

 

Agree. Their sole focus should be on officiating the game not who is playing well. It’s not like they’re doing such a good job at that as it is.

What I would say to that is Oliver in his first years was doing what Neale does and that is putting the handball in front of the player to run on to. It should have been/be an easy coaching task to show and explain this to Clayton. He may have said, but our players are stationary, which would then mean coaching is needed down the line to players receiving Clayton handball to get into space. More than one moving part.

Well done Lachie Neale. He’s had a great season and probably deserved the medal but 31 votes is definitely overs.

Blame Dan for not opening the barber shops earlier. 

People trying to base decisions on our list based on what the umpires think

hmmm

As I mentioned the other day, the positioning of our list is very Richmond 2013-2016. An elite core with some decent support players and then a marked drop off at the bottom.

We've now even got the Martin going to North equivalent with Clarry to Carlton. It can turn quickly.

I reckon Richmond's Brownlow spread would have been similar in those aforementioned years to ours tonight.

Fix the system, bring in Yze, two or three other highly rated assistants, add Brown, Smith, Phillips and a speedy pressure forward or two and we'll be in the top 4 mix next year. The competition is soft. Richmond can't keep it going forever, Geelong are getting old. No one else scares me.

They made finals 2013-15 but not 2016. But there's an obvious consistency: Martin and Cotchin.

To be fair, two of their other A-graders during that time were Riewoldt and Rance, and forwards/defenders don't poll well.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
