Never change the brownlow medal

[tombomb]

Have a look at the Dally M Medal on Fox Sports tonight.

What a pointless event. The players look so bored. Everyones looks bored actually.

Benji Marshall just scored 3 votes (points!) to get within 2 votes with a round to go .... and there wasnt any reaction at all

Reminds me of the Logies (or every american awards show that isn't run by MTV) in the 1980's when they were held in theatres.

You need alcohol consumption to make these nights memorable.

I just caught the last 5 minutes , about as exciting as a funeral !

I thought it was done pretty well.

The Brownlow goes on for far too long, sometimes going over 3 hours in length (longer then a normal game).

While the Dally M is not as celebrated as the Brownlow, I think they have it partly right in only doing the last 10 rounds votes.

I'd still like to see the 3-2-1 read out by AD, but 24 rounds this year will be painful to watch.

Maybe just count down the second half of the season (12 rounds this year, 11 most others).

Billy Slater is a gun, gotta admit I didnt mind the straight to the point counting of the votes it didnt need the bullshit showmanship stretching it out for no reason the Brownlow has. Liked the fact they only read out the votes for the top 10 actually still in it.

It was good to see slater win

And Craig Bellamy coach of the yesr

Re Brownlow: Can we NOT have the security guards bring the case of votes?

Cringeworthy stuff

 

[Hipster Doofus]

They've got to find a speedier way to read out the votes, apart from that i don't mind the old Charlie

 

[dr nick]

For the Dally-M, if your not in the top 10 at round 16 you may as well not turn up

Plus they didn't show the red carpet / wags, which is the only part worth watching.

 

[melbournemartin]

The Brownlow is fine. I like thinking back on old games. Keep reading out 3-2-1 for every game. Skip out on some of the cringe though.

Awards shows are pretty boring in any form, tbh

 

[FootyJunkie]

Brownlow should be more of an awards night, not just naming the player of the year, but stuff like goal, mark, game of the year (H&A), coach of the year, etc.

Yep, that's why I never watch them

 

[yirra_kurl]

Brownlow should be more of an awards night, not just naming the Midfielder of the year, but stuff like goal, mark, game of the year (H&A), coach of the year, etc.

see what i did there!!! muhahah so hilarious

no; but I agree with you. All Australian could be in there to. But then you'd definately need to cut down the brownlow count. Could make it a more interesting night. Perhaps there could be an award for "craziest MRP decision"; but then the night would definately go too long showing the contenders...

And you think the Brownlow is any better? It's like watching the grass grow or the paint dry.

Well they can cut out most of the wank in between votes to announce goal and mark of the year, coach of the year etc. Those player interviews for the top 5 favourites or something are so lame.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

^^
Agree

 

[vWestCoast]

Why not make it so they do 12 rounds of votes than announce all other awards. Mark and goal of the year, MVP, AA team, a quick preview for the grand final match up, coach of the year, courageous player ect (Pretty much everything but after each other so it only take an hour or two). Than do the next 12 rounds and announce the winner.

 

[Fluro Boots]

I dont mind the idea of Mark and Goal of the year and even the MVP being done on brownlow night, but i think the All Australian side should be kept as a separate event.

 

[RegHickeyStand]

Thing that shits me is the focus on what the WAGS are wearing. Who ****ing cares?

Fevola was great the other year. I hope they have him back on.

I love how they go through every round in the season. Brings back memories of awesome moments during the season and great individual efforts.

I love watching the brownlow. The players have a drink, we remember the year as it was, and get a look at the miss's. Obviously a better night if your not playing off in the granny, so your not on the waters.

The only bad thing about the brownlow is the recent thing there doing is making the favourites stand on stage before the votes start, and the host talks up there chances.... LAME

 

[puntnut]

I enjoy the cringeworthy moments the brownlow presents such as Quartermaine's, 'Give us a wave Rebecca'.

I expect something similar from Bruce this year.

Winner!

Brownlow is the only awards show I watch any of at all. Says a lot really.
