Game Day 2024 Brownlow - AFL & Nmfc

[Bertie22]

Ross Glendinning says bull5hit.

So does Gordon Collis...from... er... Carlton!

 

[Makeshift Park]

I don't know how the Umpires determine their 3-2-1 after each game, whether they get a quick look at the stats or if it's just a "vibe", but I don't think they look past the centre square these days, and Cripps dominates in the centre square.

As a matter of protocol, they don't look at the stats. It's literally the vibe. And because they're busy making 800-1000 decisions a game, there isn't much cognitive space left for appreciating good performances. Hence why the Brownlow is a discredited popularity contest.

Clegg, Deacon, Smith, Goldsmith, Roberts, Howell, James, Hardie, Wanganeen.......

That's what I thought, surely have a quick 2-3 minute look at the stats can only assist them in making a better decision.

 

[Bertie22]

Wanganeen, Hardie, Howell.........

Verdun Howell...good get Hoj. Retrospectively awarded as I recall?

Congrat's to LDU, off a 3 win season, 1 vote behind Bont, equal with Merrett and Dawson, and >>>> Walsh, Anderson, Petracca, Rozee, H. Young, McLuggage, Holmes etc........... no doubt, the best is yet to come.

 

[iloveireland]

What an odd thing to say....

Assume they mean been told by experts. I don’t think it’s a mass conspiracy unless I misheard.

Jy is an arse hat.

Gee what a villain, eh!! Bloke having fun at a function.

You're the arse hat.

But, but, he is lazy defensively and can't kick...

Don't get me wrong by the way, 18 votes for LDU this season is ridiculous too. Like, they just got lazy and gave it to the flashy stoppage midfielder in most of our games, clearly. Brent Harvey

got more than 18 votes in a season once in his career, in a year where he was our best player by some distance and we won 14 games. I don't want to devalue the season LDU had, it's just that the voting is completely out of step with reality, moreso than ever.

Experts, eh?

He is the best player in the game by that much, it isn't funny imo

I have stopped watching this circus about 10 years ago. But it has steadily gotten worse from there going by the votes.
It's staggering that one can get votes for a 19 posession game wiht 14% kicking efficiency. It's also staggering that X could be in AA contention and widely accepted as a second best ruck in the country this season, with just 1 vote

 

[RightWingRoo]

Clegg, Deacon, Smith, Goldsmith, Roberts, Howell, James, Hardie, Wanganeen.......

The Carlton nuffy was half right. Defenders have won several Brownlows in the past, but it will never happen again.

In fairness, how could the umpires be expected to even notice who's winning ruck contests when they're still doubled over from bouncing the ball into the ground, or busy running back to clear the area, or facing away from the play because they just threw it in over their heads?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

It'd make for a better spectacle if within the votes they had to pick at least one forward, one midfielder and one defender for the 3,2,1.

 

[Petrie4PM]

Xerri robbed. 1 vote? Easily deserved 6-7

 

[Friday Night Lights]

People who don’t like, watch or rate the Brownlow sure like to tell you about it.

Because their supposed to watch the ruck contests to see if there are any infringements ?

Just a guess.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

I like the Brownlow. Sure it’s not very reflective of the season anymore, maybe it never was since the voting has been done by the umpires for as long as I can recall. It’s just an opportunity to recap the season, debate who might win or who got stiffed. Make some jokes about it with friends. There’s other awards that are probably more accurate in highlighting the best player but I’d love to see a North player win. Still recall how flat I was when Corey missed out. Anyway, there’s my 2 cents.

 

[Orange Peanut]

Loool jy brought fisher instead of his gf

They broke up a few weeks back

Maybe Fish apologised and they got back together?

 

[Heaps of fun]

I neither like the Brownlow, nor will I comment on it. I am superior to all.

I can't stand it, I think it there's a possibility that it might even be rigged but I also refuse to comment on it.

He was being a clown, a function as the only drunk guy at the table. As the leader of the club. With a young promising leader trying to force him to drink. He can ship off and so can you. Ronald
