Are we going to hear this all season? Heard a bit of it last night.
I'm sick of it already.

The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.
I can understand why he is so highly rated by the media and his own supporters but he does have a number of players in his own side that will pinch votes from him so he may never win one.
The media like to set someone up as the early favorite so it's good that it is him.
Is all this based on an NAB cup match last night where most teams dont go in fully on the ball and play junior taggers on good players to give them a taste?
Ablett wasn't "robbed" he was unlucky to miss a few games which may have resulted in him getting votes. Pure and simple.
That is the case with a player most years.
Ablett is very good but so are some of his teammates they will always take votes off of each other. Seeing the expression on Gablett's face after missing out to Bartel and then to Cooney he seemed so visibly upset. Perhaps, the media building him up so much he thought he was a shoe-in to win the brownlow.
He was robbed? Ablett? I mean, yeah, i'll grudgingly admit he's good, but like BB said, he himself thought he was going to win it, so it made me even more glad he didn't. As if Ablett wont have another chance at winning it!
Reminded me of West losing out to Woewodin - we've had some ordinary Brownlow nights, was about time we caught a break....and we did.
Cooney had a fantastic year, but the league's best & fairest for 09? Hey, we all love him, and there's been worse medalists.
Another argument is that he was clearly BOG against Melbourne in round 2 and didn't get the 3 votes. He did get 3 in round 21 when Mitch Hahn played the game of his life, but that's the Brownlow.

Was Ablett the best player in the comp last year? Probably Yes
Would he have won if he didn't miss games with injury? Probably yes
Does the best player in the comp usually win the Brownlow? Hardly Ever
Umpires judge this award, it's flawed to a large degree but it is the pre eminent award mainly because it has been around the longest.
Lots of great players have never won one, but I bet Ablett enjoys his premiership medal from 07 quite a bit and that Cooney would swap his Brownlow for one.
Park that car
Drop that phone
Sleep on the floor
Dream about me
For a guy that has been nigh on untacklable for a few years I didn't think it was possible
But from Saturday nights cameo Abletts agility and evasiveness looked to have gone up another level
Park that car
Drop that phone
