Brownlow 2024 Brownlow Medal Discussion

[SwansProudly]

Like most of you I've lost interest in this year's Brownlow Medal.

But here goes:

Like many of you, in the 1950's, we listened to the radio for the count,

1956 TV arrived​

the memorable occasion in 1968 when Skilts arrived at Festival Hall (Channel TV had live coverage "TV Fight of the Week") black-eyed​

1970 like bedford, my mother and I went to the first public voting for Peter Bedford @ Dallas Brooks Hall to win the Brownlow and my mother won final tickets to see the actual presentation​

​

The 2024 Brownlow Medal will be broadcast live and free in Australia on Channel 7 and 7mate and live streamed on 7Plus from 7.30pm AEST
The night starts with the Red Carpet arrivals before the count gets underway at 8pm AEST.
The coverage will also be live streamed on the AFL Live Official App from 7.30pm AEST. Download from the App Store or Google Play.
To watch the count from overseas, sign up for watchafl.com.au.

wins it.

 

[bloodsbigot]

I'll watch just to see how far ahead the true 2024 Brownlow Medalist will get before the AFL hands it to wancos.

Also curious how Gulden and Warner poll.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I'll watch just to see how far ahead the true 2024 Brownlow Medalist will get before the AFL hands it to wancos.

He won’t be close anyway (at least 7 behind). On my count he’s 7 behind the 2 that could win. Have Cripps winning by 1 to Daicos, then Serong, Anderson, Neale, Bobt. One thing though I’ve always underscored Neale and it bites me every time.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

[monopoly19]

I would love Neale to win it because I think it’s kind of disruptive to GF preparations.

more curious about what sort of recognition rowbottom received over the season

 

[tombomb]

I am interested to see the first half of the year especially. I think there is a chance Heeney will be 10 votes clear by the time we have our second bye in round 12.

As for the rest of it. If Daicos polls early in Collingwood losses and it is clear the umpires are as horny for him as the media, then it is pretty much over.

 

[Millky95]

I know it’s going out on a limb with the bookies, but I’m tipping Cripps to win!!!

Not the main board, sorry mate

 

[Day_night_honourer]

Not sure if it's a clear-cut Naicos win. Cripps has a massive chance the way he ended the year and Neale still in it.

 

[SM]

It's my SIL's 20th so she'll be over at ours for dinner and reckon we'll be doing shots for every 3-votes from Heeney..

 

[Dangas]

I hope for the sake of footy Isaac doesn't poll the most votes. I think Cripps will poll well and win as I can't see who else at the Blues will.

 

[The King!]

Half hope he wins to make AFL look dumb

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

Not interested. Gulden was robbed of votes that would have won him the medal last year and now Heeney is robbed but we will never know it because I don’t trust the umpires to vote the same once they know a player is ineligible.

The AFL can finally give their golden child Daicos the medal they always wanted him to have.

We collectively gave Cunningham 0 votes?

 

[bloodsbigot]

I hope for the sake of footy Isaac doesn't poll the most votes. I think Cripps will poll well and win as I can't see who else at the Blues will.

Man I hope Heeney does. Just another thing we've been robbed of.

You just know if we win the premiership people will cry about the injustice of the academies. Then we can point out the injustice of robbing Issac of his Brownlow.

 

[Fullwit]

are there any other threads with betting odds/ picks ?

 

[Jewelsbon]

more curious about what sort of recognition rowbottom received over the season

Rowie and recognition in the one sentence .

 

[LIONS15v]

what happened to the yearly brownlow medal thread where people analyse and post their counts??? i couldnt find it?

Try the main board not the Swans board

 

[liz]

I'm relaxed about this year's Brownlow, knowing that none of our players has a realistic chance to win. Not because there weren't players who had spectacular seasons but because the ICEmen will share the votes around too much and because of that bogus suspension to Heeney. I am pretty confident that the Swans will collectively poll the most votes of any club.

The Brownlow predictions.

www.sen.com.au

This piece from SEN reckons Isaac will come third of the three for the Swans. I have no idea, but can't agree with their reasoning, which seems to place far too much reliance on players' past vote-attracting record. It argues that, because Heeney's highest ever vote tally before is 8, the umpires won't have noticed him.

Of course, that ignores the fact he has primarily played in a half-forward role that traditionally doesn't attract votes from the umpires. And ignores the fact he's a blonde titan who has been right under the umpires' noses this season. He wasn't some nobody who came from nowhere to put this season together. He was already a high profile player. I really don't think the umpires would have had any trouble noticing him and what he was doing. He might still come third, especially if they stop giving him the votes he deserves after the suspension. But that will have nothing to do with him not being a traditionally strong Brownlow poller.

CD rubbish . Heeney will have 27 after 11 , 3 way tie Daicos, Chripps and Heeney

 

[The King!]

Heeney should go close to winning still vote wise imo

3 way tie is a big call
