Brownlow Brownlow Medal 2024

[FootyBot13]

45 votes is absolutely laughable. Every year this award becomes more of a joke. Cripps had a good year but 45 votes? Absolute BS.

Says more about Carlton than Cripps.

 

[Daemon]

I didn't watch it because it's tripe, but how the hell hell does someone get 45 votes? That's like 15 X BOG.

The players voted MVP got 25 less votes than Cripps. Something is drastically wrong with the way we hold this award in such high regard. The award is dead.

 

[Bluelegs]

Such a meaningless award now.

Always has been.

The 3-2-1 system is rubbish.

Brownlow should be decided by a 12 votes any way you like system.

 

[Topkent]

Always has been.

When the vote count was 18-25 atleast other positions had a chance. 45 is just stupid. That's the best season on record by a mile according to the umps.

 

[Bluelegs]

Headless this is all your fault for starting this cursed thread.

 

[Mich0]

Love it how they say Daicos also broke the record but fail to talk about how there was an extra round this season in which he got 3 votes in to actually break that record.

Without the extra round he falls 1 short at 35 votes

Did pick Trac, though.

 

[schmuttt]

I genuinely think umpires have become lazy and just go off stats every week.

 

[Bluelegs]

Did pick Trac, though.

That was quite an embarrassing result for the Melbourne Football Club.

 

[FootyBot13]

I'm gonna go through the Carlton board's MVP and see if they had Cripps that high up as well.

Did pick Trac, though.

I'm actually amazed Petracca stayed on top for the Dees. Really shows how much Melbourne dropped off after the bye.

The 3-2-1 system is rubbish.

Brownlow should be decided by a 12 votes any way you like system.

Oh, get ready to see what the final result of the 426 was this year. No.7 will shock you.

It's not the first time starting a thread here has ruined something once enjoyed

I hope we can all enjoy Robodog again one day soon.

Yet another thread destined for Hell.

 

[Jibroni]

The idea of a group of umpire's whose primary job is to officiate, cannot access data or information to determine the best 3 players on the field is a flawed system.

 

[Topkent]

Bont or Warner are the best players in the AFL. For Bont to get 19 votes is hilarious

 

[Demon Attack]

I didn't watch it because it's tripe, but how the hell hell does someone get 45 votes? That's like 15 X BOG.

CORRECT

Not sure. They gave a vote to Daicos who got tagged out of the game with 15 possessions against us. They have their favourites more than anything. Neale is another one who just has to show up to get votes. I just find it hilarious how the players voted Bont as the best player in 2024 yet he gets 26 less votes than the winner of the Brownlow utterly ridiculous.

 

[Dory_77]

I genuinely think umpires have become lazy and just go off stats every week.

But even then they give votes to blokes like Daicos and Neale for meh games when others have much better stats. Seems they go off names first

 

[Bluelegs]

I remember hearing last year that the Umpires aren't even allowed to look at a stat sheet before giving their votes. That explains the weird ones like where Naicos can get subbed off injured and still get a vote. They mixed him up with his brother.

I always found that weird, I know they don't want umps to be biased to stats but say they think a guys had a great game and give him 3 votes and then it turns out he's had 10 disposals and they got mixed up, is that really more pure?

Yeah if anything it could just be a way for the umps to correct their work.

It's weird though you'd think not having the stats would make the umpires less biased towards midfielders but instead they just become biased towards the biggest names. If they did have the stats it would absolutely just become another disposal contest though lol.

Petty got 3 votes for 13 touches and a goal

Was it last year JHF got 3 votes for like a 12 disposal game and like half of them were turnovers? Think they showed it on first crack or the Sunday footy show
