Super glad Nick didn't win it.

Dont mind the Brownlow as an indicator, but it’s definitely not the indicator. Umpires have their favourites, Nick missed out on 6 votes tonight…and I can’t claim I watch or understand whether the others were similarly mistreated…Gulden certainly stiff in round 24 as well. Having said that I also don’t agree that impact should be measured by stats!No he shouldn't have , but he was a chance and he did really well. No injuries and it was his but he got injured
Umps do a good job overall. I think Brownlow and the coaches award are the best 2 and they correlate well. People need to understand the stats on a race voted in this way between 700 odd starters. Vagaries will make it impossible to agree 100%.
But the coaches award and the Brownlow have good correlation year after year. All competition awards are midfielder awards in the current game because mids have the major and very consistent influence on the modern game.
This year the the AFLCA and Brownlow had the same 6 players filling the top 6 places which is great and 7 of the top 10 in common. It’s 7, 8 0r 9 every year. Means they are in pretty strong agreement.
I do take it seriously. Sure, there have been dud winners, but overwhelmingly they have been the absolute champions of the game.
Nick should have won tonight.
I don’t think anyone is beating Horne Francis 13 disposals 3 vote game as the ultimate pisstake.Further to that,I just checked the stats on that game,and Neale got 70 fantasy points,and was ranked the 20th best player in that game.What a friggen scandal this is.
Except for this year, where he was arguably not even top 5Neale is an absolute champion, been one of the best mids in the game every year for a long time now.
Darcy Moore looks more than slightly impressive in a tuxedo. Sexy bastard.
Still thought he needed a shave, get rid of that beard.
Seriously, wtf were they on! JFH 3 votes when he played shit, Phillipou got 1 vote in a 13 disposal game, Amartey got 3 votes in a game where he was tactically subbed off after kicking 4I don’t think anyone is beating Horne Francis 13 disposals 3 vote game as the ultimate pisstake.
Maybe the umpire gave his votes to the blonde mullet guy at Port, both of them. I get confused sometimes too.Seriously, wtf were they on! JFH 3 votes when he played s**t, Phillipou got 1 vote in a 13 disposal game, Amartey got 3 votes in a game where he was tactically subbed off after kicking 4
He almost had more clangers then disposals. not even sure that's possible. LOLI’m sure it’s been mentioned but gees Horne Francis getting 3 votes against Geelong is just lol, 13 disposals.
I’m sure umpires remember last quarters and second halves more than full games as they don’t have stats to go on.
Am I blind? I can’t see a beard?
Leader board looks really similar to all the other awards.The Umps are there to adjudicate, last night proved in a number of instances they aren’t equipped for judging a footballers impact and overall output.
I think the system needs fixing, it is unfair on Umpires to put them in this position, especially straight after a game with no review or even visibility to stats.
Yeah, few head scratchers for sure. I had Nick on 32 in my count, and I had him 1 vote against Brissy but he didn’t even poll had ray or as second best and he didn’t even poll.Seriously, wtf were they on! JFH 3 votes when he played s**t, Phillipou got 1 vote in a 13 disposal game, Amartey got 3 votes in a game where he was tactically subbed off after kicking 4
This has to be the year the AFL realises it’s time to take the voting off the umps.
They couldn’t even do their regular job properly this year and there was 4 of them
The All Australian Selection panel decides the 23 best players already.
Let them decide the singular best one.
The most underwhelming win ever.
