If Patrick Dangerfield Comes Within 3 Votes of a Brownlow...

[thecatattack]

No, I definitely don't think they're clean. But fixing the Brownlow could literally bring down the organization. There is simply no way they would risk it just to avoid an awkward situation.

FIFA is still going strong after taking bribes for where to host the biggest sporting event in the world.

100m sprint is still a big thing even though 90% of the WRH are found to be doping.

You'd think these things would bring them down but in reality, people just don't care enough or don't have the power to do anything.

In 2014, Fyfe who was ineligible and missed FOUR games just got pipped by Priddis. There was no complaining by Freo fans.

In 2017, Dangerfield misses just 1 game, is ineligible, loses by a whole 3 votes and Geelong fans think they've been robbed. Delusional

 

[thecatattack]

Stats don't tell the full story and he had a seagull of a game. Guthrie's touches were more valuable and he did a huge job on Martin and Taylor had one of the standout full forward games of the year, crushing the greatest defender of the modern era. 2 and 3 votes respectively

The most I50 and 11 of our 38 clearances is seagulling it?

 

[Tigers_fan24]

I think Dusty was a more than deserved winner, which might be hard to comprehend for some posters in here, but that 1 game just oddly sticks out.

But it's not like some of the worlds biggest sporting organisations aren't corrupt, so who knows what the AFL is capable of.

Meh it happens, there were a few games the Dusty should have polled at least a vote but did not. Don't lose any sleep over it

 

[Cosmic Energy]

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

Your hypotheticals leave me cold, Bruce.

No, we're just questioning that one game against the Pies.

Don't lose any sleep over it

Oh I won't

You clearly will, it's not hard to tell you're agitated.

You clearly will, it's not hard to tell you're agitated.

You can tell through a forum made for discussion, which I'm using for a discussion?

Thanks for telling me this oracle.

vs Carlton should have been a 3.

They could. If the US can rig multiple presidential votes then the AFL can easily rig a vote.

just dont remember priddis not being penalised for incidents others were suspended for
dillusional = richmond

Bigfooty is no place for well reasoned logic.
Stats, stats and more stats, that's all that matters.

The only deluded people are those that honestly believe Dusty didn't deserve to have won the charlie.

 

[Cobbler]

Should start a new thread about who got robbed the most votes.

The Logic of a game I was at and watched Dangers impact.

But it's who the umps think is the FAIREST and best.
It's not just the best.

You're acting like Danger was out there punching blokes

Well maybe they should get rid of the charade of the Umpires voting and let you be the sole arbitrator of the 3-2-1.

There are plenty of games I'm at where who I think is the best doesn't get votes.
But I'm not one of the umps so it counts for squat.

Sounds like a good idea to me

Geelong supporters are slowly turning into the most toxic supporter base on this forum, almost rivalling north supporters. Sad because I used to have such respect for them and their club

 

[noise36]

Wowee.

Same thing happened in 2014 to Fyfe but by one vote.

Once a player is suspend they stop polling as many votes so the AFL doesn't get embarrassed. Its also just human nature, when thinking of who to allocate votes why would you give 3 to someone who cant win, its just a waste.

Not saying Danger would have won, but they definitely are not going to allow someone who is ineligible to "win" the brownlow, its just common sense.

p.s. Dusty has had a great year, well deserving winner.

 

[Checkered]

Danger will get the most votes tonight, and will have to hand what should've been his medal over to Dusty. Bookmark it.

What happened buddy?

 

[Cats2011]

I agree should have got votes but if we use the coaches votes the Martin should have won by 15 votes

Considering Dusty only bet Danger by 4 votes in the Coaches award, I find it highly unlikely he'd have won by 15 votes in a system where less votes are given out...

not at all, dusty did what he did
and given the umpires thought he carried the tigers this year

but the facts are there
richmond players were not penalised by the mrp where other players were suspended for similar acts
let alone the basher judgement which was a joke
