Pathetic stuff not showing Langford during the top 5 rising star announcements.

Amazing Gawn has 10 votes from 9 games considering we lost the first 5 games.

He should break 20 votes for the second time in his career

Gawn is a star. Who was the last ruckman to poll this well?

This would have to be the worst production I personally have ever seen and it's not past round 10 yet...

Rank amateur incoherent disconnected and childish.

Shows that the Brownlow is a useless medal. We bag the umpires all year then ask them to say who the best player is while umpiring the hardest game in the world to umpire.

A lot of them have never even played the game

I’d argue there’s countless more games harder to umpire. Imagine trying to see a baseball being thrown at 105 miles an hour and only having .25 second to choose if it hit the strike zone or missed by 1 cm.

I want Gawny to win only because his speech would be elite. It’ll go down in history.

Come on AFL, give us something!

I know everyone says the same thing every year, but I hate that the umps, who showed us all season long that they’re blind as bats, determine who wins the most prestigious award in footy.

PS- black tie means a tie. Not a turtle neck. It also means a suit. Not a blazer you found in the back of your cupboard and some chinos from Target

Sneakers with a suit should be a capital offence.

The no sock boat shoe look is worthy of time in jail.

Nobody wants to see your ankles!

Did LJ bring his mummy…?

Strange night, this Brownlow.

GOTY and MOTY year were both very beige, the Rising Star looked about as happy as the Pope at a condom sale, the (lack of) camera work on Langford was a disgrace, the players look as if they have been forced to undergo PR training to learn how to present for the cameras at their tables, and the whole presentation lacks energy and life.

Whats Gomez Adams doing at the Brownlow??

This thing is rigged!

"Matt Rowell may actually be the favourite now.

Another bizarre 3-vote game in Round 9, where he didn't poll a single coaches' vote, has him five votes ahead of Nick Daicos with a game in hand.

It's at least getting to be a toss-up. Daicos has a lot of great games to come but Rowell won't exactly stop polling either..."

Now 3 GAMES where Rowell got 3 votes when both coaches including his own didn't think he deserved even 1 coaches award point

No. His much older partner.

Why is Rankine eligible for the Brownlow?

100%. Bontempelli’s suit is a classic, the cut of his pants…

Watch Faicos snatch 3 votes last game even though he was Gaumless and win!🤮🤮🤮🤮

A 360 degree game with vague rules that change every year with 36 players on the field blocking your view

Yeah, I reckon that is harder than standing still, watching a ball and calling strike or not

I actually love Bailey Smith’s suit. The chocolate monochrome look is very on trend, and the 80s cut is cool but classic.

Shame about everything from the neck up.

Do the umpires all talk amongst about who they are voting for during the season. How else to explain how players who no one picks as a stand out can poll so well. Rowell this year. Wines when he won etc

Well done Harris Andrews.

The best award to win.

Anyone know what Trac and Kozzi have polled?

Also they used to have four finalists for the Jimmy award then announce the winner. This year they went straight to announcing a winner. Which means the other finalists don’t get any recognition.
