Hopefully this is yet another spur for our players to pull their socks up and support Bont instead of him and a small handful of others week in week out trying to pull us over the line.

Hoping Pies win GF and Daicos wins the Normie.

Want De Goey to figuratively pull Dunks pants down too.

As the wise sage Alan Partridge says, ?that?s all I ask?.

Even Libba had a better season than Neale

Bont had four games where he got the perfect 10 coaches votes and didn't get 3 Brownlow votes.

[angelopetraglia]

Yes. Dunks with only four votes was costly. Could not get a vote from Neale.

[angelopetraglia]

Libba with Dunks gone, polls his heart out and competed with Bont for votes.

[Prince Imperial]

Macrae failed to get a single vote despite polling 106 in his career. Unsurprising, but another sign of where he was at this year.

Looking forward to adding this as another form of self loathing and masochism over the next new weeks until trade week kicks in.

Where he was at was a complete change of game plan for him

Jacko needs to be in the middle if he wants to poll votes, and if we want to be any good again. It's complete idiocy putting him high forward predominantly.

“ If you told me preseason Dunkley would poll twice as many votes as he kicked goals I would have thought that seemed about right. Just wouldn’t have guessed it’d be four votes. Four!”

He'd be walking away surprised that teams with decent wings and flashier outside players make it hard for the second inside player to stand out. Genuinely surprised.

But not to worry, he's playing in a GF and he has lots of Netflix menus to peruse on top of some very cooked through meat fajitas. He's going to be finel

?In a match where Giant Josh Kelly had 41 disposals, and Neale?s teammate Daniel Rich racked up 27 disposals and 750m gained while Charlie Cameron kicked seven goals, Neale was announced as the three-vote getter Brisbane?s Round 6 win.

Neale was the 10th highest disposal getter in the match, with an efficiency of just 65 per cent.

The decision to award him the best on ground title stunned the AFL community, and turned the Brownlow Medal count in the Lions? star?s favour.?

Looking at this comparison https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/...&fid2=S&type=A

In terms of impact. Goals, goal assists, tackles, metres gained, contested marks and one percenters it’s night and day. There would not be a single coach in the game who pick Neale in front of Bont on what was produced in 2023. Such a travesty.

(Wines statistically had a much more comparable season in 2021 when he beat Bont, you can see how that result happened. When you look at the stats, listen to the astute judges of the game, it is difficult to comprehend how Neale has a better season that Bont, even taking into consideration the lottery system of 3-2-1 voting).
