Please don't bring Richmond into this because of thetradesman, please! He speaks for NONE of us.Newman is better than Cotchin
Averages 18 effective disposals per game - 22nd in the league. Deal with it.
5. History shows they get it wrong more often than not in terms of determining the 'best' player of the year (the 'fairest' is awarded by the negative with the concept of making players who got suspended ineligible)
Priddis had a cracking year in a team where not too many performed consistently. Hence, him polling in 14 games.
Give me a humble tough inside and player with no tickets on himself like Priddis over a Boomer Harvey or Paddy Dangerfield anyday. The latter are better players but I would rather someone like Priddis at essendon
Lol you would not.
Good to see you can see past the unjustified hate .Yep. And despite averaging 28.5 possessions a match (4th in the league), he only averaged 2.4 clangers a match, putting him outside the top 100 for that stat... And the top five for average clangers per match? Martin, Ablett, Franklin, Rockliff and Johnson.
Honestly, people need to recognise that their own pre-conceived notions about how certain players go about it can quite often be wrong. Priddis had a cracking year in a team where not too many performed consistently. Hence, him polling in 14 games. While I certainly think that it's disappointing that truly great players will never win a Brownlow, you can't begrudge the guy his win. Bloody hell, he tore the Crows a new one this year and anyone suggesting he is a "spud" should simply be quietly ignored. Their opinion is worthless.
Great news though, he's going after the "Coleman" next year.Congratulations Pridda on joining only Haydn Bunton Sr as the only Sandover Medallist to win a Brownlow Medal later in your VFL/AFL career. Great night for Western Australian footy.
Hang your head in shame AA selectors.
Good to see you can see past the unjustified hate .
That game vs the crows priddis got 1 vote and it was probably his best of the year . His clearance work and vision to find team mates by hand was elite and almost the best you would ever see !
He also tore collingwood a new one twice and almost set a record with 18 tackles vs Richmond . He is a quiet achiever and now gets the recognition he deserves. Sure he can shank a couple of kicks a game and all eagles supporters know this but that's the price you pay for a bloke that wins the ball for your team 15 times a game . His Disposal efficiency isn't any lower than most other inside contested ball winners
if you look at the previous 10 years how many players didn't have great careers and deserve the win. The only one would be Cooney and he wrecked his knee at the end of the year.
The umps do a pretty good job. If the media was doing it Buddy Franklin would have won.
Franklin would have been a more worthy winner this year in my opinion. I'm pretty sure if I was to ask you before yesterday which AFL player had the best year, and even if you sat down and watched every single game of the season in a row, Priddis is not the name you would come up with.
I feel for Ablett though because no one would of got close to him
most people would have said Fyfe or Ablett, both of whom missed a heap of the season. Considering that Priddis was passable.
Priddis had a good season playing with a bunch of potatoes in the midfield. It was like when people say Modra was cooked when he got to Freo. Wrong. He practically walked on water in '99, kicking 71 goals while playing for an absolutely shit team.
If he'd played the whole season, he would have ended up close to 30 votes, well clear of anyone else. He'll win it next year anyway.
If you jump to about the 3:30 mark of this, it's there, might be others in better quality, not sure. Didn't notice first time around, but is spooky, would be a better choice to accompany him tipping poison into a town's water supply or stabbing Caesar in the back:Is anybody able to post footage of Mike Fitzpatrick and that villainous music?
Playing with a bunch of potatoes is not a good argument, it probably makes a decent but not elite player look better than he is, which obviously is part of the flaws of the award I was listing.

Hope so guy deserves at least 4or5 brownlowsIf he'd played the whole season, he would have ended up close to 30 votes, well clear of anyone else. He'll win it next year anyway.

Fyfe, Ablett, Franklin, Kennedy, Selwood. That's who 'most people' would have.
