Nah, he does. You're just a biased Melbourne supporter.
3 votes in a game he got 19 disposals and 0 goals. Just like Neale getting 3 votes for 20 disposals against GWS. Scott West was the far better player that year and Woewodin robbed him like a thief.

I’m just glad that Petracca didn’t win.
I would have preferred Gulden or Bont, but it is what it is.

Not if the result is in the balance. What's the point of reading out some meaningless votes when the winner is already known?

He was rated in the top 5 by the coaches. I respect their opinion more than the umpires, or a panel of media noobs, or champion data.
I won’t be arguing that he was the best player in 2023, but you have made some dumb over the top comments the other way.
If you are going to pick a game here or there. Then you might as well give it to the favourite as all the games have been assessed for the best players

I would like to take this opportunity, on the advice of my lawyer and to prevent potential defamation litigation, to congratulate Mr Neale on his win and apologize for any hurt or offence caused by referring to him as Gollum.
This was meant as a term of endearment, I am a big fan of lord of the rings and some of my best friends are hobbits.
Just got a bit carried away, won’t happen again.

The voting for this medal has been flawed for years. You've got 4 umpires running up and down the ground trying to control a game. Then the AFL make the game faster and these guys are running up and down the ground all day focused on making the right calls in front of hostile crowds.
And then at the end of the game we go "What do you reckon mate, who was the best player?"
The problem is clear - They aren't the best people to judge who the best player on the ground was. Leave that to someone who didn't have to run K's up and down the ground.
**** tradition in favour of something that works for the here and now.

All won their respective years fair and square. Anyone that says otherwise is a jealous hater.
You're welcome Lion's fans.
You're putting a lot of stock in something where the likes of Kane Cornes and Cameron Ling are selectors.

Not really sure why but this one feels particularly dirty this year...
Maybe it's because of the stellar year so many players had and we ended up with a player who honestly by his own standards had a really average year, or the fact the voting felt bizarre at times.
I just assumed it was Petracca or Gulden going into that last round. I was a neutral at that game and both were awesome. Gulden was dragging the Swans by himself and Petracca kept answering him.

They won it fair and square by playing exactly the way the umpires like it, yes.

I watched him closely this year and I thought he had an average year.
Priddis finished runner up the year after….
The media does, which is frustrating. I watch it for the theatre but don't care too much.

The same people he bashes when Martin and Taranto don’t make it.

Sorry to burst your bubble but Neale had a higher disposal efficiency than the whole top 10 in the brownlow.
And don't tell me "they were cheap touches" because he also had the highest contested possession ratio.

AFL should do what is right and strip Cotchin of his medal and give it to a deserving winner like Gulden

When Brisbane win, the umps go aahh, who played well, oh Neale got a lot of kicks, better give him 3 to cover ourselves.
