I give 0 [censored] about this award. I’m just confused how the umpires can get it so wrong. 
You can give 2 out of 3 votes to players who played for a team that got comprehensively beaten by 41 points. It just doesn’t make sense. 
Yet Touk Miller clear BOG in an 11 point loss to the Dogs not one vote. 
Umpires are lazy. May didn’t poll a single vote (?), Lever with 5. Arguably our most influential players. Lever with the most intercept marks ever taken in the history of the game. Salem was superb in the first half of the season. One vote. 
Walsh with so many votes in a losing team. 
It’s a popularity contest.

    why was Wines the only port player with their partner with them?

    I heard a port player say the players that got invited chose to take some of there teammates over for a bit of a holiday for them. Well I'm pretty sure that's right

    Honestly I think the umps would prefer not to have the job of deciding the Brownlow. 
    It beggars belief that the most prestigious award in the game is voted on by semi professionals.

    100% should be voted on by the coaches or an independent panel like the AA team. 
    Umpires don’t know anything about the game beyond the rules. And even that’s questionable. 
     

    Edit: Tmac polling more votes than Lever, May and Salem combined tells you everything you need to know.

    I don’t recall Ed Langdon or Angus Brayshaw’s names being called out much either, if at all. They are fundamental to our games. Langdon, in particular, should catch the eye.

    The problem is that the way the game is played these days, the Brownlow is made for midfielders and bad luck if you’re a defender.

    Stupid award. Steven May 1 vote. 😂 Wines did not have his best year and did not deserve it. I think Clayton will win it sometime in the next few years. Hopefully that Marcellin chump Bont never does!

    On another note I just flicked over to fox footy & they replayed the 2018 gf. Ha the last 2 minutes was great. I don't know what was better, Ed being disappointed or bucks having his head in his hands after the siren. 

    Anyway now the Brownlow is over it means the big one is next & the nerves are going to start to kick in for us supporters

    Sad to read Steven May is just the 160th best player in the competition but I’m glad we have some others who can pick up the slack for him.

    Congratulations Ollie Wines, great season.

    A friend messaged me to say “Wines wins Brownlow and you got Toumpas”

    Pretty easy to guess what I said next.

    Correct??? Because its true. One of the most monumental stuff ups if not THE MOST monumental recruiting stuff up Ever 

    TOUMPAS over Wines FMD

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
