Brownlow Can The Bont Bring Charlie Home

[Dogs Rule]

Wines is an absolute tank and one of the best inside mids in the game. He has actually far surpassed what most people would have expected where he'd be a high floor, low ceiling player that was ready to go immediately.

Yes, but you could argue Macrae is that for us and look how he polled.

 

[Sentinel]

Meh. Bont clearly the best player this season, the Brownlow doesn't change that.

He can just grab a Norm instead.

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Bitter sweet for Wines.

Having to be in Perth this week.

Shame for Bont, I know this is wild to say but I feel like he has another gear..

I agree there’s heaps to come yet.

Basil reminds me of Rob Sitch doing send up of John Hewson on Lateline many years ago

 

[Beasley]

Another motivator for Bont this Saturday

Yeah I feel he's still got another level to lift to and we haven't seen that consistently yet.

Should've lost by a lot more. We were extremely accurate and Port were extremely inaccurate.

I don’t buy into that line of argument. Shoulda woulda coulda. What happened, happened. We lost by 2 points after leading all night and not 1 vote. Especially when dud teams are losing by 8 goals and getting a 3 votes player.

But the good thing about tonight is, in the old days, the brownlow was the last chance for the bullies to win something cause our season was already over.
Not this year!!!

Ah well, Bont will get the only medal that counts on Saturday.

Congratulations to him, but am I the only one that thinks Wines is very vanilla as a player? Line them up against a wall and you would choose Bont every time.

I think Bont would take a premiership medal over a Brownlow any day of the week, but (as if he needs any more motivation) hopefully he uses this as a bit more ammo come Saturday.

used to think the same of Wines but he is a worthy winner and has evolved his game very well and become an incredibly good player.

Some of our supporters need to stay away from the main board. Like mice to cheese, dont get sucked in. Be humble and move away.

 

[Testekill]

I will say that from next year onwards there's going to be more eyes on Macrae and he'll be getting more votes, will be a lot of talking heads wondering why Bont got such a favourable deal from the Brownlow votes while Macrae barely broke double digits.

 

[ManOfClay]

Well done to wines, Bont hopefully will trump him medal wise on Saturday

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

Great result for all the 100kg midfielder boys out there who didn’t make it.

 

[TMoney22]

Thought Libba would get more. A lot more actually.

yeah it’s a bit of a cesspit looking for anything to shit on the dogs

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Bont is only 25, he hasn’t even peaked yet, plenty of time for him to bring home Charlie.

Still interesting the way the game was umpired against Port and the votes they put together.

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Lose by 2 points and don’t get a single vote for the bullies… da fu**??

Gray and Wines did SFA for 3 quarters. Keith’s game on Dixon should have got votes.

 

[Substance]

Losing with 33 votes is why I now rank the Brownlow near last in terms of individual POTY awards.

Also Macrae not polling in round 6 with 40 touches, 8 marks, 6 tackles, 10 score involvements, 864 meters gained and a goal, clear BOG? What was that about.

 

[dogwatch]

Yep Wines has got this, frustrating that our shitting the bed in the final 3 rounds probably cost Bont the brownlow.

This might be a case of getting cause and effect the wrong way around.

One of the reasons the side dropped off in form a (certainly not the ONLY reason but an important factor) was that Bont's output dropped and he was playing at about 70% of his usual impact for a span of about 4-5 weeks.

If anything it was the unconfirmed shoulder injury that may have cost him a Brownlow.

And if it's not that, it simply means Wines was more consistent than Bont over the whole season. That's how it should be.

Meh, we won the one that counted.

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Bont got three votes in a game we lost, so swings and roundabouts.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

At least Oliver / Petracca didn’t win. I’ve had enough of Melbourne.

Somewhere, a sub-editor is stopping the presses and busily rearranging tomorrows herald Sun wrap around front page.

 

[Dogsman16]

Macrae is extremely stiff not to receive far more votes.

Is he any lesser of a player than Tom Mitchell who got 11 more votes than Jack and also played in a team that struggled most of the year.

It's more beneficial being Steele, Walsh and Mitchell who carry their midfields. Meanwhile Oliver, Petracca and Gawn are just taking votes off each other.

 

[Hoges64]

Wines polled in 16 of 22 games? Can you with a straight face tell me that for only 6 games Wines WASN'T in the best 3 on the ground?

Had a great year, but really???

Technically we were in front when the final siren rang though
