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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
