Facebook memories may or may not have shown a video of me dancing around in my living room drinking bubbles straight from a bottle.

Yep agreed some of our $ list decisions have been a bit self-defeating in the long run, its left Lamb boxing with one arm tied behind his back in terms of trying to bring in talent.

It doesn't but if its 2+1, who knows what the triggers are.

But if he's getting more money elsewhere that's not necessarily Lamb's fault

Think it's a little poignant for Goody to be saying this all now. Also whilst we're reflecting on Goody, on this day in 2021 we won the flag, and for that Goody will always be a Demon legend.

then doing a shoddy kick, the highs and low of frostball

And in another article, another reference to the 2nd highest rated player on the ground (Viney) getting 3 votes. If one game summed up the absurdity of the Brownlow Medal it was this. If one game alone can finally instigate a change to this award, it should be this.

I know theyre chasing a flag, might need to sacrifice something to try entice CP5 or a Curnow but surely it wouldnt be BH

Here is hoping he hasnt walked under any ladders or jinxed himself at all, a proper pre-season and who knows where 2026 will take him.

Don't they want Liam Ryan too? Marshall out, Wilkie to follow?

There's an article on FoxSports at the moment Lists 4 Games where Rowell gets Brownlow Votes and No Coaches Votes Lists 4 games where Anderson gets Coaches votes and no Brownlow Votes But then says It’s worth reminding ourselves through all of this that the Brownlow’s imperfections are what makes it so interesting. The umpires are a unique set of observers. And if the results just played out exactly as we expected, as if Champion Data was handing out the votes, it’d be pretty damn boring. It’s still worth noting that Rowell in this circumstance is a strange winner - he was fifth-favourite to win the medal, and had it clinched with three games left. That’s really weird! Not as weird as Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera not polling the three votes for the game he single-handedly won against Melbourne, though. That was the worst decision in Brownlow history and if you’re gonna review the voting system, THAT decision is why.

Have definitely noticed an improvement since King was appointed, not only just in output but in terms of the content. Seemingly going down the GWS/Hawthorn route of a little jokey. And social media is all about reactions/shares/comments and the like, so the less dry at times the better.

Its easier to perform in a good team too. Think the Bison will have a great career, same for anyone in that top 5 though. Was Archie Roberts still not to make the 5? Either way enjoyed the Essendon tears

Agreed NWM deserved the 3 votes but some of the comments ive seen online make it seem like this was the most egregious moment of the night, at the end of the day the 2nd highest rated player that game got the 3 votes. There were games where Rowell/N Daicos polled when they had no right to, for me that's a lot worse than someone getting 2 votes when they deserved 3

Some of the criticism aimed at him above was similar to Chuck Spargo had - eg - average and not elite - not super quick

Yes that's what the media do, but I'm not sure why it's so unrealistic to think a player who wanted to leave for various reasons (not disclosed publicly), may still want to leave. The way it played out last year was a debacle for all involved and IF nothing has changed then i'm sure all parties would want to ensure that it's not played out that public again. Only Christian himself can tell us if he wants to leave, and he won't do that - so we're left with a schrodinger's cat-like situation. No use beating ourselves up over it, just wait and see what eventuates.

Success in the MCC Ballot sees me attending. Hoping for a close game but think Cats just that level above.

Him going to pies makes sense, means he won’t get suspended again

Getting a little bit bullish on Kentfield, hoping he has an impressive pre-season. I'm in favour of adding Brody to the list for various reasons but hopefully the powers to be are looking at tall and small options for the forward line

241241249- The amount of times @picket fence will advocate Jeffo's selection

May may ?

Kolt was #13, From Pick 12 (Phoenix Gothard) - if you jump down to Pick 50, the only players who have really done well are Logan Morris (#31), Shaun Mannagh(#36) and Joel Freijah (#45) - Could maybe include Joe Fonti at 44 too but he's not the same level as those other blokes as yet. So its still early days for those players, but we're clearly not the only club to perhaps get this wrong (TBC)

Wonder what stage we re-signed him for that extra year. Obviously due to his age it makes some sense from a list strategy POV, especially under a new coach (that's probably the best way to sell it too). He's not the player he used to be, but part of that is due to him being an absolute warrior on the field (smashing about and played the GF with an injured hammy etc), time waits for no man. Leaving with a flag and AA selections, what more can you ask for (apart from more flags) Bit somber but probably the right call.
