Unofficial Preview Brownlow Medal 2014: Freo watch

They moved to the bottom on the Brownlow tracker now. Like there is somebody who doesn't know what ineligible means. Really confused me when I looked through the votes again because suddenly players I remember doing well are missing at the top...
btw.: Why is Mundy ineligible? Did he get 1 game that got downgraded on early plea and/or good record during the season? Can't remember it and he played all games...

Doing a quick mental calculation I think we had the second most votes overall as a club, behind the AFL COLA Swans.
Meant to ask that myself. There were a couple of others as well.

The older I get the more I hate the afl. Brownlow is a joke it's all about coaches votes for me.

You become ineligible if you receive over 100 base points, any discounts don't impact that. It's why the Bulldogs player (Picken?) had to say that Ablett didn't get him, otherwise he'd be ineligible even if he didn't miss a week.

Congratulations Matt Priddis. Has now won the Sandover and the Brownlow. Can't take that away from him. A very humble an unassuming bloke in my opinion. Good on ya Pridda
An awesome winner, I reckon. Priddis has clearly been WC's best this year and they had some convincing victories. I have no dramas with the result but I reckon some of you need to let go of the 'little brother' syndrome and the conspiracy crap. Hopefully Fyfe - and his team mates for that matter - try to play within the rules. Sure, we can talk about the ambiguity of rules, etc, but the reality is that of our 10 players who polled votes, four were ineligible. Brownlow aside, our players need to adapt to the rules because poor discipline made it harder for our best 22 to be on the paddock.
Can you please stop being such a knob on the main board thread?

I'd like to add, I'm utterly stoked Franklin didn't win the award.
Anymore media dry stroking of Sydney, their Bloods culture, all the while glossing over the elephant in the room at how they've achieved this success and I'd give up footy forever.

How is stating the facts being a knob?
You might not agree with what I say, but the AA selectors and countless others do.

Priddis plays in a shit team with a shit midfield. To do what he does every week is bloody good. Since fyfe couldn't win happy to see someone who isn't a complete ******** win. though i'd preferred Gazza.
Fyfe is a freak, really hope he wins one,
Maybe next year he mighty get a few bonus pity votes from the umps especially if the MRP changes it's gradings of bumps. Yes I know he biffed Lewis.

I have to second that. they were banging on for ages this morning about what a feat it would be if Buddy won the Coleman, Brownlow, Premiership and Norm Smith. talk about getting ahead of themsleves, geez. Actually, don't mind Priddis winning it - as mentioned he is pretty humble and having already won a Sandover the guy can play - might not get the accolades of flashier players but puts his head over the ball and goes hard.

I've been tracking this for a while. If he keeps it up for the the next couple of years he will be the second AFL/VFL player since Bunton Snr to poll over a vote per game.
I'll admit Fyfe would have won if he hadn't been bent over by the afl, he'd have got votes in the games he missed because of the rubbish suspensions so IMO he's unlucky and I hope he doesn't let it get to him in any way. Naturally I'm happy for priddis and glad it wasn't j duckwood. But team bias aside Fyfe is the man and I hope he gets it next year. (Not that I even rate the stupid medal but it does at least bring a player handy notoriety to the less informed) the players and coaches award are the true indicators of ability.

It's nauseating. Priddis winning could almost be considered a troll of the AFL - the two big stars at Gold Coast and Sydney get denied a shared Brownlow!
