AFL Rd 16 Brisbane v Melbourne
I originally had a clean sweep for Melbourne in a loss. But thinking about that, that cant be right in a loss.
Upon 2nd review I thought Josh Dunkley should be up in the votes in the narrow Brisbane win.
Brisbane had the better 2nd half with McCluggage kicking the winning goal.
Viney had the better metres per gain, most clearances, 10 scoring involvements.
Pickett had the eye-catching game with 5 goals. For a small forward he was very clean with his ball use all night. It wouldn't surprise me if he polled the 3 votes on the night. Has only polled one 3 voter in his career but that was for a goal haul of 6 votes.
Dunkley had a contested mark, 10 tackles, 10 scoring involvements.
Neale I dont think was better than the 4 players above, with him well held in that 1st half.
Try to watch that game without Jimmy Brayshaw commentary- its generally terrible and bias. Not sure what relation he had with the Viney family as former North Melbourne CEO but Brayshaw did a good job of swinging the 3 votes to Viney for me.
I had a look at a few variables (nine) which I think affect 2023 Brownlow voting, and surprisingly Metres per disposals or Metres seemed a significant factor. Feel like its a more important factor in todays footy than footy compared to 6-7 years ago. Players these days chip too much backwards, sideways and doesnt do damage or influence matches that much. I think thats on the back end of the umps minds too. Although in comparison to other measures its not as significant to: Goals, Intercepts, Disposals, Clearances, Scoring Involvements or a Contested mark though. Did something called an Ordinal Logistic Regression with about 9,500+ rows of data. (Read about it through eg ChewTheStat). A stat I believe is slightly overrated is the 'contested possession' when measuring performance. Thats just me though.
