    Maybe. To be honest I barely remember him as a player. But that's not the context of the discussion.

    Brian Wilson Tells Triple M He's Lost His 1982 Brownlow Medal

    Former Melbourne star Brian Wilson has told Triple M's Hot Breakfast he's lost his 1982 Brownlow Medal.

    Wilson jumped on the phone to pump up his Demons, noting he'll attend his first final since 1988 - his playing days - on Friday night.

    During the chat he let slip that he lost his Brownlow Medal moving houses, which took the guys aback.

    "At my house, I have no trophies, I don't have any photos (at home)," he explained to Triple M.

    "I actually have lost my Brownlow Medal and it's gone, about six years ago."

    Wilson said it was meant to be a gift for his daughter on her 18th birthday, and that was the only reason he was worried about it.

    "It was always meant for the first born and it was meant for her, so we tried to find it and it's gone. She made that little announcement on her 18th birthday," he said.

    "Apart from that, I've never been one to worry about awards or anything like that...it's just something that I never worried about. I never, ever looked at that sort of stuff.

    "It's a big regret, I guess...I'd love it back!"

    Maybe Ben Cousins has/had it?
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    For anyone who had doubts it shows just how strong the VFL competition is. Ayce played 18 games in the VFL last season and got in the best players only once. At A grade ammos he wins the competition medal.

    It's always seemed big men of reasonable quality really stand out in local/grade footy, because they're few and far between.

    Pyrrhic victory for him, the deserter... Finishes his career with plastics with nothing to show.

    Could have stayed with us and wore a premiership over his head. How many prelims has he played?

    There's no premiership without him leaving us.

    I thank him for triggering the ultimate cluster *!*!*!*! that resulted in our club drastically changing course, and putting in place what was needed to win the 2016 flag. He will always be a Bulldog hero.

    Do we need to tell Barrett who has won out of that trade?

    It'd just result in another sliding doors detailing how we mistreat our players.

    I think he was mentally drained and his back was shot when he left us, We were in the best position to get the most for him before clubs realised he was done .
    I see it similar to when we traded Templeton who’s knees were on a spiral downhill at the time.

    I watched some Griffen highlights a bit earlier, his barnstorming runs and kicking long goals really stood out.
    I really enjoyed watching him play for us
