How much "media" and "star power" does Priddis command? Wasn't even mentioned as a potential winner and has never been a media pet.I have known the brownlow was a joke since:
1) Judd won in 2010 because Chris Judd, robbing Swan of a brownlow.
2) The very next year Swan apparently had the best season of any player ever (even though he performed better the year before) to win the brownlow.
Clearly the umpires are influenced by media and "star power".
Well done to Priddis though, the stats show he probably deserved on consistency alone once you take Fyfe and Ablett out. I can think of worse people to win it!
