Roast The Brownlow has no credibility left

[WalshistheGOAT]

45 votes was higher than expected but people who analysed their years properly knew Cripps was a massive chance of breaking the record and Daicos would be close on his tail.

Don't know why everyone's crying about someone getting a high vote tally

Have former head coaches and line coaches vote each week. Can include state league head coaches.

3 coaches assigned to each game at random, each week. Can watch more than one game.

Rotate who they vote with, so not the same 3 watching the same match together each week.

Can’t be assigned to a club they coached.

Given a commentary free stream to watch to avoid bias (and just for pure humanitarian reasons).

Best system to avoid bias, and to judge players based on game impact.

100%

Higher than expected? Wow. It was astronomically higher.

The issue is Daicos polling in games where he was BOG average. Bontempelli hardly getting near it.

The whole system of voting has to change. The umpires have NO IDEA.

The umps only pay attention to the established stars or they don't have a good feel for who played great so fall back on giving votes to the stars. Warner being overlooked this year has been noticed, watch him start polling more regularly from next year. Once you get on the radar, you stay on the radar.

Very true. In 2014 Jordan Lewis was listed as a smoky half way through the season.

Brownlow nigjt he had a couple of votes until half way through the season when he started getting more votes.

Once the media pointed him out they started looking.

Not sure why they refuse to pay attention to Bont. Been a star for 10 years and is highly recognisable. Even managed to kick 32 goals.

I had Cripps down for 35-41 votes on the night and wrote dozens of times he'd break the record well before a vote had been read.

He had a fantastic year where he played well in wins and losses, but especially well in quite a few losses.
Curnow, McKay and Walsh all had ordinary years by their standards, Cerra didn't play barely at all... There was nobody stealing votes all year.

Most of our losses were by small margins which meant umps were more likely to give votes to both winning and losing team players.

It was pretty easy to see it was going to happen. The only one that was bemusing was the Essendon game, but even then most watchers debated quite heavily who was in the BOGs as there really weren't any standouts. Umps couldn't decide so clearly went the old trusty knowing he'd be in the mix.

A few games here and there he should have got 1 or 2 but got 3 instead.

45 didn't shock me at all even if it was a bit higher than I thought he'd go.

The sooking is ridiculous.

Many people do predictions now, all I have seen had Crippa and Daicos in the top few.

That is how it played out.

Every year there are some players who poll above and below the "expert predictions".

This year Cripps, Treloar, Tom Green, M.Rowell and Butters are players who polled above expectations.

Bont, Neale, N.Anderson, Merrett and J.Daicos are players who polled below expectations.
