Brownlow Brownlow Medal 2021 - Congratulations Ollie Wines 🥂

[SBYM]

I'm out and about so haven't seen the speech, but just read some snippets. Seems like a very level-headed guy.

 

[zeggie]

Ollie giving off some serious Zdar vibes

 

[blue harvest]

It's a bullshit award voted by blokes who weren't good enough to play the game at the highest level.

AFLPA MVP more meaningful.

What a load of crap. I couldn't name a single MVP winner.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Clearly Wines and the power were told he won , why would they be in Perth otherwise

 

[kaiserchief13]

Clarry polled 1 vote across these five wins:

R4 v Geelong: 34 disposals, 14 CPs, 10 SIs, 0 votes

R6 v Richmond: 36 disposals, 17 CPs, 11 SIs, 0 votes

R12 v Brisbane: 25 disposals, 13 CPs, 11 SIs, 0 votes (clear BOG in this one)

R20 v GC: 35 disposals, 19 CPs, 9 SIs, 1 vote

R21 v WCE: 28 disposals, 21 CPs, 1 goal, 3 SIs, 0 votes

Truly absurd count.

He needs to learn to spread from the contest more if he wants more votes. Too much collect and handball

 

[Handsome_Jack]

Be very surprised if Walsh doesn't end up with one or two in his career when all is said and done

 

[hawkman]

Who is creepier? Basil or Hamish?

Rompingwins work with the Auskick kids gives him the edge. Plus he ran over Cotchins dog

[La Dispute]

Bontempelli does not hold a candle to old Quagmire Wines and the final votes margin flattered him IMO.

 

[ibd77]

I want a footballer with speed to burn and unbelievable kicking skills to win a Brownlow for once!

Fortunately downhill skiers don't get recognition.

 

[Bungeye]

well there go the pies then...

Your team would romp it in!

 

[Xtreme]

You do know who does the voting?

Ollie will be an umpires pet next year, but this is his year to shine

 

[BlueBalls#17]

Has anyone got the votes for every club?
Cant find them yet cheers

 

[hoianbulldog]

Is it really the games highest honour? I mean it's great, but surely the Norm Smith is a bigger win

AFLCA award should have more prestige. It is slowly happening.

 

[Mayes2Gray]

How can anyone take Basil seriously with that stupid ******* face

the trick is to drink when ever he is being anoying or saying something stupid.

it basically means on average 3 non stop minutes of skulling your emu Everytime his stupid face is on the tv.

 

[Bungeye]

Fortunately downhill skiers don't get recognition.

What does Wines specialise at?

 

[Mayes2Gray]

Love the melts from Bulldogs fans here.. just enjoy your grand final hey?

I'll trade the brown low for a gf berth, any takers?

 

[Chuckie357]

Clearly Wines and the power were told he won , why would they be in Perth otherwise

Because it’s the closest they’ll get to a Grand final for a while

 

[blue harvest]

Clearly Wines and the power were told he won , why would they be in Perth otherwise

Because every year players fly to the Brownlow.

 

[Mayes2Gray]

What does Wines specialise at?

winning brownlows in 2021

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

And we chose toumpas and not wines

GWS spunked two picks on Plowman who is a plodder and O’rourke who was pure garbage before that.

Port were kissed on the prick. Wines is a terrific player and a worthy winner.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Clearly Wines and the power were told he won , why would they be in Perth otherwise

I don't think that meant anything, the Crows were there too.

 

[Dogs till i die]

You don't have to had played at the elite level to recognise a good footballer. Umpires are elite in their own segment and are closely involed at the elite level of the game. Closer to the game than us on the couch or in the stands.

 

[Tiger Soze]

Happy for Ollie. Been upset for years that we took Toumpas over him in the draft.

Shame Bont couldn't get a share of it. Just expected him to win one of these for about as long as he's been playing.

Yes I reckon that would be one regret Todd Viney would have, from memory he was head of recruiting at the time and because Ollie was best mates with his son Jack he didn’t take him when he clearly should have.

 

[theyellowsash]

Plenty of them before him - Fyfe, T Mitchell, Priddis, Dangerfield. Can any of them kick?

fyfe and danger at least have elite athleticism that allows them to be explosive and create because of that (fyfe better than danger by a country mile though)
