Steele with 26 votes after the start of the year we had speaks volumes of the leader and player we have.


If we can make finals next year then jack absolutely can win the brownlow next year


Onwards and upwards

Fully on the dees wagon now.

I reckon he would be just happier to have a good year, his teammates lift a bit and make finals and hopefully get through to the semis

Do we have average votes per pets owned?
 
Happy for Wines to win it but don't reckon he had a 10 vote better season than Steeley.

There’s always a bit of shenanigans with votes, I don’t think Steele will ever be an ump favourite either. Started doing run with/tagger roles for us a few years ago and I don’t think the umps really appreciate the defensive side of the game. That massive tackle he layed on Hopper (?) when we played GWS that they called a dangerous tackle and penalised him for, just shows some of the tackling and defensive work is just seen as negative by umps.

But then Steele won the AFLPA Most Courageous Player award so I think that shows how he’s viewed by peers rather than umps.

Wines got more possies. Steele is also a tackling type midfielder , dont know if that has a bearing on it. Bont and others got more votes anyway. To win it in the years coming up he needs to find 6-8 more votes. The competition is very hot.
 
All umpires notice is quantity of midfielders winning the ball not quality.

Ball butchers like Dunstan and Ben Keays in the votes, can’t believe people want to keep Dunstan based upon Brownlow votes.

Based on this theory we should get rid of Sinclair as he he didn’t poll.

True, but most people would have picked Dunstan to get votes because he did play very well for 5-6 games and under the umpires eye. That was my point about other positions not getting a look in. So why didnt Sinclair poll a vote then?

Sincs a bit stiff?
 
I have Steele maxing at 26 votes. I'll say as low as 21. So down the middle, let's say he'll poll 23 votes :thumbsupemoji:
Polling in 13 matches. Rounds 11-18 should be a good run. I think the team have let him down with some of those narrow losses, probably going to cost him up to 7 votes :(
Also hoping Dunstan doesn't do too much damage during his purple patch!

Nailed it. Steele got the 26 votes from the 13 matches. Why am I not a betting man?
Dunstan possibly took 4 votes away, still not enough to win it.

Umps are certainly influenced by media hype.

He did come third last season so I don’t think that the umps don’t rate him.

Bottom line, the team needs to improve which will then help him lift his game further. If the midfield lifts and he’s getting more goals as a midfielder they can’t help but notice him.
 
Wait, did Zak Jones only get 1 vote for that ridiculously dominant game against Hawthorn, when he had 37 disposals (16 contested), 13 score involvements, 7 clearances and kicked 2 goals!?
