Game Day Brownlow Night 2024

[Danger in Texas]

Seriously, has the Brownlow lost so much credibility in a single count before?

Never seen such a lack of shame from the umpires

They’re always the biggest campaigners

Good blokes?

Priddis and woewodin won it

 

[StonesThrow]

Crazy result. Think Cripps is a worthy Brownlow player, but no way he was that dominant.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Priddis and woewodin won it

At least those counts showed a genuine variancy of opinion

This was "C Judd 3 votes" on steroids

 

[cmndstab]

Realistically, neither Cripps nor Daicos should have scored anywhere near that high. Take ten votes off each of them and it starts to look a little more sensible.

Daicos scored votes in even more matches than Cripps did. Eighteen matches he scored votes! He's a bloody good player, but come on.

 

[FR0GGY]

This is up their with his goal of the year that wasnt!

As Cripps said

There’s one extra round so it’s a bit higher

 

[cmndstab]

Lol that Nick Daicos breaks the record for Brownlow votes within a season and doesn't win, and also has 2 out of 3 goal of the year nominations and gets pipped for that as well.

And his brother just got engaged first too!

 

[Crow_68]

Having said all that, these votes far better reflect the players and Cripps was right up there just behind Daicos at seasons end

Coaches' votes, R24: Pies star charges past rested Heeney to claim prize

[TubbsFarquhar]

I saw this posted on the main board. There is no question that the umpires got the two players mixed up.

Round 9 - Hawthorn vs Bulldogs

• Amon - 15 disposals, 0 coaches votes, 2 Brownlow votes
• Impey - 29 disposals, 9 coaches votes, 0 Brownlow votes

Similarly, N. Daicos getting votes in a 15 disposal game where he was subbed off as opposed to Josh who had 34 touches.

Do umpires have access to statistics after the game? This suggests they don’t, when they absolutely should

Mind you, in a lot of cases it would just increase confirmation bias

You too young to remember 2000?

 

[AFC979810]

Not sure why people get upset with Brownlow results.

Its the most ridiculous premise. How in the world should umpires decide who is the best player on the ground when their primary focus is on umpiring.

Take it for what it is - a novelty award.

Conservatives going to conserve because..

Reasons.

 

[CrowToon]

I think the purists already know in their heads that the coaches votes is probably the best indicator these days. After last night's count I wonder if it's sunk into a few hearts now too.


The beauty of letting the umps do it was the spread of the votes over the course of the season but if they are now voting based on reputation then their value is gone.

 

[119others]

Priddis and woewodin won it

Yep. Also Libba and even Mitchell who is no better than Matt Crouch both dodgy.

got three Brownlow votes but was overlooked by the coaches in their votes."

 

[DJ75]

He’s gonna have more brownlows than legit handballs

100% accurate

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Didn't even watch the Brownlow... Its become a rigged contrived circus, pure media and betting fodder.

When we talk about how biased the competition is, one of the biggest factors is that ALL the umpires live in Melbourne. They read the Melbourne papers, they listen to the Melbourne radios, they watch the Melbourne based footy shows.
They are absolutely corrupted by their surroundings.
Never more evident that the Brownlow, where they start awarding votes on the back of the media attention certain players get. It's why players who have a breakthrough year get more votes the year after, once the media narrative has developed.

The Brownlow is a shit award. It's named after a Victorian administrator who has zero relevance to the National Competition. It's awarded by biased and corrupted umpires who have zero clues about who is best on ground and base their votes almost entirely on stats.

 

[DJ75]

Lol that Nick Daicos breaks the record for Brownlow votes within a season and doesn't win, and also has 2 out of 3 goal of the year nominations and gets pipped for that as well.

Those goal of the year nominations were pathetic. Bog average goals at best. The Higgins goal from outside the boundary was a LOT better.

Maybe they left it out because he was 3 metres OOB ??

Also they werent bog average goals, having the composure to run and bounce, then finish at full speed isnt that easy.

Ok, they were good goals. Sure. But the best of the year? Surely not.
