I like the idea of the coaches doing the voting, not sure how it would work but it might stop BS like tonight.

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

 

umps!!! 

So Cunrow can hardly score a vote all season and Fritsch gets 2 votes for kicking 4?

...Well I guess consistency isn't exactly a strong suit of umpires is it.

Rohan Marshall with just the 3 votes got massively dudded too. Especially since Brad Crouch was ‘awarded’ 18.

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

My player ratings in those two.....

Vs Norf...

1.  Hunter > 6.05

2.  Tracc > 5.90

3.  Gus > 4.90

Vs Swans...

1.  Clarry > 4.57

2.  Viney > 4.50

3.  Tracc > 3.85 

(Fritsch ranked 6th > 3.55)

Not sure how Fritsch got votes ahead of Tracc, who had a huge influence on the outcome of the game in the second half.

Do not take the award off the umpires unless you really do want to see the voting rigged. Yes, it's sometimes a dog's breakfast but the alternative is ex - players easily compromised.

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

Don't forget Clarry.

It's a travesty Neale has two and clarry none.

At least Clarry has two coaches'. Neale zero.

It's clear our club has no power within AFL house, house of crooks!

[Fork 'em 6,991]

Let's face it it.
If Trac could kick he'd romp in a couple Brownlows.
His Achilles heal.

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Neale didn’t even make the AA team

The issue is that you’re dealing with corporate psychopaths and narcissists at the top of the AFL. You could have a million comments or a million signatures on a petition and they would not care.

Work out a way for the coaches to vote. They get it right most weeks.

I will take that chance. There would be lots of ways of ensuring that the voting isn't rigged. The current system is a joke.

[DubDee 26,124]

No other Lions player in the top 25. i wonder who was next. crazy bias. 

he won’t even win the Lions BnF. Cameron had the more impactful year for me

Did Goody moving him cost him the Brownlow lol

Brownlow Shmownlow

 

Also, I dropped a crystal vase today and it broke into a million pieces. Should I blame Goody for that, too?

🙄

[Redleg 41,484]

Gulden was a certainty for 3 in the last, with 42 and 2 goals. Got 1 vote.

Bont was the unlucky one, with that crappy 3 to Neale, for a nothing game of 21 possies and no scores. How can Kelly 42 and Coniglio 38 in that Neale game get no votes?

We know who Maynard will accidentally target.

that’s how almost every award in the world works. a hell of a lot better that umpires who haven’t played at the top level or sometimes any level

Yep and it hurt us in finals to with his kicking 

[Demon Disciple 12,274]

Would also like to know how Trent Rivers ended up with 0 votes. Particularly when the likes of Chandler, Pickett, JVR, Salem and BBB got votes 🤔

Crouch had more votes than Curnow. who had one if the best fwd seasons for years

staggering

I actually feel a bit for Neale, and wouldn’t be surprised if this affects his GF game. During his speech, “it doesn’t sit well with me at all to be honest”.

Maybe GD. I'm just suggesting that an umpire likely has more credibility and moral fortitude than some narcissistic vanker from AFL House.

He is a lovely humble guy and I don’t think he deserves the wave of anger that he’s going to cop now. He didn’t do anything wrong and he didn’t ask for the votes or the win. 

He will now get caught up in this conversation that he’s an unworthy winner and frankly I think he agrees. Hope it’s not a distraction come Saturday. A Norm Smith will shut people up pretty quickly.

Viney with 24 votes. Should have been AA.

100% please tell me how he's not better than Zac Merrit or Josh Daicos.
