Was laughing at the Daicos missed votes earlier but I’m [censored] now. Tracc should have got atleast 2 vs North

North game 2 and Sydney game 2 also.

Robbed.

They sure had that medal ready to go quickly in Brisbane.

As good as it would have been for Trac to win, you've gotta feel for the Bont. Seriously dudded twice

Dogs lost too many games in the end.

Does anyone expect a fair count? The umps cannot get the basic decisions right, how can they adjudge the best player.. 

Exactly. That's why the Brownlow is over-rated, on account of the fools that decide it.

This award has lost its magic, but well done to Tracc and Vines. 

AFL football has lost its magic.

I hate the Brownlow these days. The wrong midfielder won it, again. Change the voting system. Why don't the clubs all make it an issue and get it done?

I think the last 3 Brownlows have been rather ordinary 

24 votes for Viney is bloody fantastic 

tried his guts out every week and lead from the front

4 umpires now. Surely it would be better if they should each give 3 2 1 votes without conferring with each other.   Better still to not use the umps at all.

Far out! That was frustrating!

Jack Viney 3 votes against Sydney was a mystery.

Angus Brayshaw 3 votes against North Melbourne was also bizarre.

But oh well.

Lachie Neale from the Lions is a well deserved winner.

Pretty confident Christian Petracca will win the Demons' Best & Fairest this year though at least.

Gus had 37 versus North. He deserved 3. But Hunter and Fritta over Trac against North and Sydney is a joke.

How did Trac get 0 for the last game?

He got 0 in the last 4 games go figure 

Edited September 25, 20232 yr by Demonsone

Good. Nick Daicos and his Dad give off 'Andy Murray and his mother' vibes. I prefer Christian and his nona. Less in your face.

 

What did we think was going to happen? It's the AFL and the umpires after all

Small mercies, at least Diacos didn't win

Round 6. lions v giants

Best. Brisbane: Cameron, McInerney, Payne, Rich, Dunkley. 

3 votes L Neale !!!  20 possessions.  150 metres gained.

Yeah but I'm specifically talking about this one, a clear 3 voter for mine.

Trac fkking robbed in the last 7 rounds 

the umps count touches not influence. they shouldn’t be allowed to check stats. If we had a fwd line and Trac played 70% midfield he’d have 34 votes easy

Yes agreed, Trac's vote-getting drop-off coincided with him spending more time forward with the petty and melky injuries. Pretty rough because he showed extraordinary power in several games to turn things our way.

So many cheap votes for Neale and so many votes robbed from Trac 

Bont robbed. That 3 for Neale for a 20 possie game, when Kelly 42 and Coniglio 38 no votes is pathetic.

2nd year in a row that 2 Dees the highest 2 from any club.

I'm starting to think that the brownlow is slowly losing credibility. Neale wasn't a top 5 mid this season, let alone the best.

Have said it for some time, the Brownlow is increasingly becoming a mediocre award to win. It no longer goes to the ‘best’ player in the league anymore.

Melbourne players aside, the Bont had a much better year than Neale, as did Butters, Gulden and even Daicos.

May as well call it the best midfielders award too btw.

Until they stop the umps picking the votes this will continue to decline into an irrelevant award

anyone honestly think they can be aware of who is playing well when there are 100 new rules and tweaks and coping abuse over the fence. and now with 4 you only see half the ground

Trac's kicking for goal most likely cost him the medal.

Rather he wins the Norm Smith again.  Didn't cost him that one.  Just needs another season like that.

2 Norm Smith's Vs 2 Brownlows?

Cripps got 22 votes, that’s a joke also

Agree.

Hunter.  Lots of nothing possessions.

Fritsch played 5 minutes in the last quarter.  

Trac carried us over the line in BOTH games 

Midfielder and top 4 award
