The girls are flying and playing some ripping footy.
The men should watch them.

Well lets hope it's not the only medal Lachie has around his neck this week.

Does anyone really think Neale had a Brownlow quality season?

To me he was mostly average in a great side.

Even Neale doesn’t think Neale had a Brownlow quality season.

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.

Did Goody moving him cost him the Brownlow lol

Andrew Dillon and (hopefully) a new chairman, time to make your marks: Brownlow to be moved from umpires. To, say, the coaches' votes (with voting rules and eligibility to retain the 'Fairest' priority)

[Lord Travis 10,793]

Seems Trac and Bont are destined to never win one despite being the best players every year and influencing games more than their peers. Both got robbed of clear votes tonight. 

Trac getting no votes in the final game was stupid. Getting 1 vote for his game against the Saints was stupid.

The umpires are stupid. I’m [censored] sick of them. The umpires have determined the outcome of games this year and legitimately shaped the entire finals series. It’s beyond pathetic and as someone who’s attending 100s of live games since the 1980s, I’m thiiiiiiis close to giving up on the sport because of their [censored] incompetence and the rules being so vague etc. Stuff this

Bad luck Trac always the bridesmaid never the bride.

Who cares.  As the players would say - we don't play for Brownlows.

[rpfc 28,906]

Viney with 24 votes. Should have been AA.

[dees189227 12,453]

That west coast loss by the dogs not only cost them a finals spot but probably cost Bont the Brownlow to.

 

[spirit of norm smith 16,615]

BEST 
Sydney: Gulden, Mills, Parker, Warner, McCartin
Melbourne: Petracca, Fritsch, Viney, May, Brayshaw

 

umps!!!

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.

Hasn't had credibility for a long time now. About 20 years

Especially when it comes to goal kicking and delivery into the forward line

He got 0 in the last 4 games go figure 

Which included:

29 and 1.1 and match winning perf

22 and 1.1 his worst of the 4

24 and 2.2

27 and 2.3

i guessed he would poll 6 votes. anything less than 4 is a [censored] joke and he got zero

Yeah didn't Merrett get AA? Clearly Viney had a better season

2021 Norm Smith Medal would suggest otherwise.

Neale seemed non-phased about winning. You can tell his sole focus and attention is on Saturday. Kudos to the man. Now go and smash the Pies on Saturday please.

yep. straight swap for Libba

[Dingo 1,170]

He’s one of the top players in the League. And he is ours.

[Lexinator 1,771]

Pretty obvious he wasn't expecting or deserving it, didn't even have a speech prepared. 

[DubDee 26,306]

I reckon there’s be a diesel Williams style meme out already. 

Gulden - thought i was a bit stiff with 42 touches the last round 😂

Cripps got 22 votes, that’s a joke also

On appeal he’ll get that up to 27.

For a side that finished 2nd, the umpires couldn't find another player to give votes to.  Apparently even Ashcroft who was gods gift to football in much the same way as Daicos couldn't even score a vote.

Similar story for Collingwood for that matter.
