Brownlow 2024 Brownlow Medal Discussion

[MVille Swan]

103 Total votes for Sydney , last time a team polled over 100 votes was 2016 also by Sydney.

That's it. We're doomed on Saturday. Game over. I reckon if Daicos can get votes for being subbed
off with 15 possessions, I should be able to get a vote for falling asleep on the couch whilst watching
the game.

Really feel bad for the umpires.

With messrs gianfagna, deboy, Stevic it must really hurt for them to cast 100 votes let alone 1 for the swans.

Round 8 Chad got 10 coaches votes and 0 last night

 

[LukeParkerno1]

He said in a recent interview that she relocated to Sydney about a month ago

Yeah they did, think they bought a house together

 

[giantsully]

Cripps and Daicos are very good footballers who (apparently) have had great seasons, but that amount of votes for both of them is just extra. If Cripps really is (the equivalent of) BOG in 15 games, surely Carlton win the flag by the length of the straight.

Heeney in round 2 was a shocker too there were worse though, Bont got 31 and 2 goals and Ryley Sanders got a vote over him lol

Or it just shows how skinny the list is, every year we see it, a side from a middling side is more likely top win it, especially when Walsh the other proven vote getter is injured. Who else is getting votes for them? Our whole midfield are proven vote getters, huge difference.

 

[Day_night_honourer]

If it's going to be a midfielders-only medal then the team's midfields count should be added together. Whichever group polls best, all 3 (or more) in that team get a medal each.

Would be a great analysis to see which umpires are umpiring the games where big name players poll in underwhelming games. Is it the same umps being starstruck. Is there a single ump who is having a significant influence on more junior officials nd getting their own biases across the line. Would make for an interesting study.

It’s a good idea in theory but in reality it would be too hard to get anything definitive. Most games likely have umpires with varying seniority. And we have no idea of how the umpires determine one set of votes from the input of four.

 

[Dangas]

So many crap calls of voting 3,2,1 by the umpires.

AFLCA votes have some weight.

The second one I recognise as Errol’s GF. And if I didn’t I could probably guess because she’s as tall as the person she’s standing next to.

Whose arms are the other two on? I suspect the first is Chad’s arm. No clue of the third except he’s tallish and dark haired. JMac?

 

[bedford]

Who was the Ch 7 girl interviewing , she was outstanding

First one is Chad's girl and the last one is Cal Mills' fiancée. Really lovely ladies, pretty and wholesome.
Tom Green took his mum, who would give Mrs Heeney a run for her money.

Rebecca Maddern I think, dress was terrible but yeah great interviewer
