Brent Moloney - Brownlow smokey?

[adii_7]

i might get on.

 

[twarby]

11-12 votes minimum at the moment

 

[RedLegs#5]

Never know....

 

[Rumblah#16]

Lolwut..

Seriously, what?

 

[Tulip]

Lolwut..

Seriously, what?

Check his stats this season, then talk

 

[The Wrecker]

Has to have 12 votes already.
Bloke is a machine.

 

[w00dy]

don't be surprised if sylvia pipped him today... the umps love him, gets a lot of votes... has to be right up there though beamer...

 

[Lewie_8]

I have been doing the brownlow to thus far, and after today's games, he is on 11 votes in second trailing Watson on 14

 

[melbournemartin]

19 clearances, 10 from the centre. I'd like to see the record books because that will be up there, at least for this season.

That one play on the wing where Adelaide just couldn't tackle him, and then he spots a Melbourne player in the middle...sublime.

I have him on 12 votes from 4 best on grounds. Sure, they were against Brisbane, GC, Sydney and Adelaide so not the strongest set of teams but he's far from a flat track bully. 38 touches against Collingwood last year (but no Brownlow votes, which makes me worry about this year) and several other fine performances against top teams. Even this year he was far from our worst against Hawthorn and West Coast.

i believe it's the 2nd most recorded in a game since 1998

Thanks very much for that mate. I didn't think it'd be THAT good. The Jamar/Moloney combination is almost telepathic at times.

 

[Eth]

Form of his life.

Would be in the top three at this stage.

 

[jinny1]

he wasn't bog today for melbourne.

that'd be either jamar or sylvia.

rofl wtf????

 

[DonMare]

Definitely on 10+ Brownlow votes at the moment.

 

[Fastback]

Definite - Melb have a decent draw this year and Moloney seems to carve it up against the lesser sides.

 

[Tap Tap Tapperoo]

Was bog today but can almost guarentee he wont get 3 votes, umps will give it to sylvia as he kicked a few goals aswell. and I bet he wont get maximum votes from all 3 of his other dominate performances this year.

As someone said earlier, absolutely dominated against collingwood on queens bday last year in one of the best individual efforts I have seen for melbourne in years and couldnt even scrape in for a single vote, so he doesnt seem to be an umpire's favourite.

Dont really care though, as long as he keeps this form up, he will be appreciated at the club, and most likely win the bluey.

 

[weagles_fan]

Just bet on him to win Melbourne's votes. Doubt he will win the brownlow, may finish top 5.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

I see he is now 4th favourite for the medal at TAB Sportsbet, paying $13. So the punters don't see him as a smokey, they see him as a deadset contender!

Doubt he will go on to win it, but the muppets on this thread who rubbished the claims clearly have N.F.I.

Will be a good bet to be leading after Rd 11.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

I think Sylvia deserves the 3 votes actually... Moloney's game was amazing but it was much to do with Jamar's insane ruckwork as his own work.

 

[Alexwce]

Put $1000 to lead Melbourne's vote count at the start of the year. Don't think he'll win the brownlow though

 

[BETON5]

Melbourne won't win enough games for him to get close.

Well Carlton did last year for C.Judd so theres hope for every side,including the Dees.You never no Moloney might get 3 brownlow votes for 15 possessions...ala C.Judd.
Anything can happen

 

[Gee Dubya]

If he was out there shaking hands and tossing the coin with the umps at the start of every game like he should be, he'd be in with a chance.

 

[m7jebus]

If he was out there shaking hands and tossing the coin with the umps at the start of every game like he should be, he'd be in with a chance.

Instead he spends all day long giving it to the umps as well...

They're very sensitive those men in yellow or green or whatever other colours they wear. We all remember Hird not polling despite single-handedly defeating West Coast a couple of years ago; there was another case back in 1993, when Wanganeen won it from Greg Williams and Garry Hocking by a vote, where Diesel was completely overlooked in a game where he had something like 42 touches but was in the umps' ear all day long.

Anyways, Moloney. Cracking player, should probably have three or four BOGs already, but I don't think he's going to poll as well as he should.

 

[Bardo State]

Maloney is flying and is a definitely a smokey. Not many players taking votes away. Similar to Mitchel, who doesnt have much competition from his team mates atm (bar buddy, gibbo and maybe Sewell)

 

[The Wrecker]

Four BOG's in six matches, probably means he is no longer a smokey!
With Watson, Cox and Pendlebury should be equal favourite.
