Brownlow 2024 Brownlow Medal discussion

[Golden_6]

Umpires have dead set butchered nearly all of our games.

 

[MaxiBont]

Harmes had 4 and 27, hard to be mad about that

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Wheelo had Bont finishing on 26.7 and was meant to be 10.7 after 9. This is looking like a real sad night

 

[Libbaaaa]

Let’s go Daicos, this Cripps BS has to stop.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

LOL I just remembered it was Brownlow night and thought I'd check the AFL website to see who won it.

Discover it's only up to R7 ... WTF?
The count could run through to March next year at this rate. Thank Fk I'm not watching or listening to any of the drivel. I might have had to shoot myself.

They were rattling through the first 5 rounds too. Last 3 rounds have taken about 45 minutes

If Neale wins a third, it will confirm (again!) that this award is a meaningless piece of tin. I can handle Cripps, at least like Bont, or Gawn, he is a consistent match winner, and all 3 often carry their teams along with them. Or Dusty a few years ago. But Neale! F*** off.

 

[MYOB]

I hope Heeney gets the most votes.

Swans supporters will sook up big time and Cripps win will be hollow

Umps have NFI how to perform their own job, let alone who is impacting a game. Award has been meaningless for years.

He’s getting 3 in their game against the Blues in the next round

Now THAT would be a great outcome, regardless of who finishes second (and 'wins').

Can see this panning out now, Cripps, Daicos and Neale again

Neale only on 2

Can't see Cripps not winning. Good chance he breaks the votes record

Actually, I hope Heeney romps it in, with several WTF votes. The more votes he gets, the merrier. I want to see tonight be the year that totally f***s the Brownlow!

Will likely poll well in second 1/2 of year

In coming Vic bias rubbish.

 

[geoffjennings79]

Will likely poll well in second 1/2 of year

In an unexpected twist, I can see Neale being awarded Brownlow votes for Bears' finals!

 

[geoffjennings79]

Does 'ineligible' next to Heeney mean he's not a bachelor?

 

[Anja_Nees]

We only lose a few from here so Treloar should do pretty well in the end. Three off the lead at the moment.

 

[Golden_6]

Can’t wait to see Nick Daicos poll 3 against the Bulldogs in a couple of rounds.

 

[Dogs 13]

Dillon’s wife already said before it started that Bont’s not in the mix

 

[The Inbetweener]

Can’t wait to see Nick Daicos poll 3 against the Bulldogs in a couple of rounds.

That’s the only reason I’m still watching. If he gets the votes over Bont I’ll spew

 

[geoffjennings79]

I'm not watching it btw, can't be bothered, I detest it. Have a couple of mids racked up record vote totals for whatever round it's up to?
If someone like Bunton played today, he'd win with 50+ ... in an 18 game season!
Back then, players on losing teams actually got 3 votes, because they were actually BOG, regardless of the scoreboard. And a single umpire was somehow aware that defenders, wingers, rucks also played. Not forwards though! They only got noticed from 1980 until the late 90s, then disappeared again. Like defenders. Ruckmen hung on a bit longer, but they play no part in the modern game either.

has had an equally good year as the Bont according to the umpires lol

 

[geoffjennings79]

They interviewed his wife? Not surprised tbh, he's the most vanilla, faceless plonker to hold the position. His dead cat buried in his backyard has more charisma.

We can all go to bed now
