Brownlow 2023 AFL Brownlow Medal Night

[s_wd6]

I don't think buying a house is a big deal if you make 800k a year and can sell it when you leave. It's not like he's going to rent a 2 bedroom apartment while living in Brisbane.

No but he did upgrade for massive house to even massiver house

 

[hoss]

Every winner has that happen. There were games Fyfe polled when shouldn’t have

I think it was that he polled 3 votes in a game where he was rated 21st on the field. Even 1 vote would be suspect. He was no where near it that day.

He did turn his back on the club in our time of need but he made the best choice for his career. Two brownlows is an exceptional career. Funnily enough, if we took him back when he was considering a trade a few years back he wouldn't have won a second brownlow and we wouldn't have finished so low on the ladder.

Good.
Better to be selfish then loyal. Seen players growing up - Gerrard for Liverpool, Pavlich for Fremantle- not get rewarded.
It’s a catch 22

 

[Kapow!!!]

Congrats Lachie. Best player in the game at the moment with a chance to be a premiership player on the weekend.

Great stuff.

 

[Purple Jesus]

As much as it hurts, he made the right choice.

 

[Joao]

Traiterous little rat.

Well done to Serong though. He will be up there one day.

We're going to be too balanced for anyone of ours to win. Fyfe won 2 as clearly the best player. We have many players at similar levels. Same reason Trac and Oliver don't win (Viney 24 votes this year).

I reckon Jackson is the one that could. He'll stand out once he peaks in a way Andy and Caleb can't.

I don't care how big the house is, if you want home for family support with kids, they're coming home. They could live in the white house and it wouldn't make a difference.

He signed a 4 year extension in 2022, why not upgrade lol.

Neale did redeem himself a little bit when he tried to come back, did it a season too early for me though, lucky we didn't go thru with it as it would have cost us Amiss

I always thought he would come back, obviously he isn't now and he is contracted for like another 4 years (signed an extension)

And that ended up being the deciding game. Fyfe had a big enough gap on his opponents in both years that 1 game didn't decide everything. But the fact that he got 3 votes and two guys who got 40+ touches didn't poll is ridiculous. And none of his touches were even damaging enough for those vote to make sense.

 

[hoss]

Agreed.

It should be 3.

To be fair, Lachie was pretty embarrassed about it himself.

[Gimme the Fyfe]

It stings, but congrats Lachie. Should probably have been his third to be honest. He's a class act on and off the field.

 

[Dockeroo]

Gobsmacked Petracca didn't poll in the last couple of rounds, thought he was going to win for a moment.

My dees supporting mate is fuming, reckons Trac won the last 2 games off his own boot for them and not a single vote

He's not far off. Definitely should've polled at least two in the last game.

 

[FreoRicci]

Gulden getting 42 disposals and 2 goals is outvoted by a Fritsch and Viney is hilarious. Absolutely hilarious

 

[FreoRicci]

He did.
Didn’t poll v Carlton when he nearly did it himself.
Did it himself v Sydney and didn’t poll.

Umpires clearly have their favourites

 

[Steinfreo]

We should just fold, AFLs not for us.

Awful comparison gerrard won multiple European cups, which to most is rated higher then the league and he won 9 cups in total ....now pavlich that's a sad story

Didn’t he choose to leave? What were we supposed to do, break his legs as he left?

Apart from Fyfe, Fremantle have to make top 4, even top 2 to get votes.
Brayshaw did well last year, but burned out.
Serong did very well for a club that finished 14th. 10 wins.
If Fremantle got say 12-15 wins, perhaps he has a chance

 

[Shadow Man]

Well done Lachie, always wonder what could've been if you came on the ground earlier in your first GF.

2 years left on his contract... just don't trade him.

 

[Dockeroo]

I reckon Jackson is the one that could. He'll stand out once he peaks in a way Andy and Caleb can't.

I will dig a hole from here to China if Luke Jackson ever wins a Brownlow.
It’s quite frankly impossible while the umpires pick the votes in this format

He was contracted, could have held him to it and taken a year to change his mind

risky move though

 

[Harry Reems]

Wasn't Priddis the last one in that category?

 

[Ripper]

It’s all good , we picked him late and taught him most of what he knows , well done Lachie
