I don't thinks danger would've polled against you guys. but he should have tied. They rigged it 2nd time in 4 years.

I know you dislike Geelong and Dangerfield (fair enough) BUT it's hard to ignore what the AFL just did, very disappointing by a professional organisation. I was at the Collingwood vs Geelong game and no one even came close to being as good as Dangerfield. Martin is a deserved winner and had a fantastic year so well done to him! A big **** you to the AFL though for having zero integrity.
Danger went at a higher DE% than Dusty throughout the season. Guess Dusty didn't have a good season?

Agreed. Martin is a well worthy winner.
But the AFL have done this 3 times in memory. Should have tied (although not technically a tie) to end this trash.

Let’s talk about Raines,
Round 22 vs Collingwood Danger got 10 coaches votes and Duncan got 0.
Somehow, in someway the umps gave Duncan 3 votes and Danger 0.

We could say the same about some of Dusty’s games, how did the coaches vote over the season if we use that as the measuring stick, the Brownlow was too close

Pretty much. Both average
There's a difference between Danger being clear BOG and not polling a vote and games where he may or may not have been BOG and got 1 or 2 instead of 3.

So we aren’t using the coaches votes now as it doesn’t suit the narrative?
Do you understand what I'm saying or is it beyond your comprehension?

As I said before, he gained those 3 back against us, when clearly Guthrie and Taylor were ahead. You can bend it any way you like, but the results in the end show that Dusty was the best player this year, ahead of Dangerfield. If you blame the AFL you just sound like a bitter child.
Lol those who think it's rigged.
So do the AFL tell the umps who to give the votes to, or do the AFL change the votes? Which one?

Danger got blatantly robbed.
Probably for the best that he didn't go equal as that would have raised an even bigger can of worms him being suspended for nothing but jeez that's suspicious

30+ disposals and 2 goals, 10 coaches votes but 0 Brownlow votes. With a game less, definitely the moral winner.

If only Cotchin lifted his team as often as Selwood lifts his arms when being tackled. What a player he'd be, hey?

I find it incredibly hard to believe that the AFL would tamper with the results.
The amount of money involved in the Brownlow with the betting agency's if massive. The fallout of messing with the votes would be the biggest controversy in AFL history, worse the the Essendon saga. No way they would risk it just to avoid an awkward situation.

Don't worry, he can have a relatively ordinary year next year and will win it in a canter.
Thats how the brownlow works.

So do you think the umpires stopped giving him votes after the dangerous tackle or that the wrong name was read out by Gil?

Unspoken, wink wink directive to the umps to reduce brownlow votes for suspended players. No paper trail, no evidence
Who you or others think is BOG doesn't get the 3 votes though, the 3 votes go to who the umps think is the fairest and best player.
Me thinks Gil got the whiteout, out for that voting card

Piss off and follow another sport then.
Seriously does my head in the imbeciles who say the sport is rigged every week, yet still hypocritely still follow it enough to support a team and post regularly on a footy forum.

You brought up the coaches votes as an arbiter of brownlow votes, if we use that as a measure Martin should have won by more, how hard is that to comprehend.
