Re: Brownlow Medal 2024

Cripps I think. He polls well and had a sublime run there for a lot of games.

Not many to steal from him either. Walsh had a down year, Cerra maybe but I think the bulk will go to him.

Bont won't get close this year.

I'd go :

Cripps
Daicos
Neale.

Re: Brownlow Medal 2024

They all love Daicos and want him to get over the line

Re: Brownlow Medal 2024

Who wins? I think Cripps will win. He has a lot of dominant three vote type of games and doesn't have a lot of competition this year.

Most joy? I was not allowed to stay up to watch the 1985 count, but I listened to it lying in my bed in the dark on my clock radio and it was an enthralling count between our long sleeved ginger Brad Hardie and Harry Madden. Great memories as a kid in a completely different era.

Most pain? Definitely Chris Grant in 1997, polling the most votes and robbed by Ian Collins. Also in 1996, Chis Grant losing by one vote where James Hird got three and he got two in the last game and we lost by three points. If Mecuri kicks a point we win and Chris Grant would have won the Brownlow that year. It still bugs me to this day that Chris Grant was not AA that year and Paul Roos was selected in front of him.

Re: Brownlow Medal 2024

Who Wins: Umpires caught up in Daicos frenzy

Most Joy: Templeton - first forward to ever win the Brownlow

Most Pain: Chris Grant - Umpires didn't report him and Collins had no right to.

Re: Brownlow Medal 2024

Cripps is a gun but it would irk me a little if he had 2 Brownlows and Bont had 0. For no other reason that they were/are often compared. Cripps is a great guy and player.

I do think he's probably more consistent though, Bont seems to trail off every year and it costs him.

Re: Brownlow Medal 2024

Who Wins Probably Daicos but Neale wouldn't surprise.
Most Joy Liberatore
Most Pain None that really spring to mind. Perhaps Dangerfield.

Re: Brownlow Medal 2024

Like many, Cripps as few taking votes from him, Daicos for a similar reason, and Neale. Of course, would love Bont to get up but not even sure he was our most consistent and best performer across the year.
Heeney leading at the half way mark, but if not Marcus, then Cripps is who I will be cheering on.

Re: Brownlow Medal 2024

I thought Treloar was consistently better than Bont this year. Also Bailey Dale was outstanding in a few of our wins later in year. Don?t think Bont will win it but would be a delight if he did given his two recent runner ups.

Agree Josie. I think Treloar will win the B and F.

Re: Brownlow Medal 2024

Agree Josie. I think Treloar will win the B and F.

Missing a game when Bont played every game will be costly.

Re: Brownlow Medal 2024

I think Neale will win, he can have 10 possies and still get 3 votes with Cripps 2nd.

Most joy, Brad Hardie closely followed by Templeton, was so happy went out and bought the 7" Mike Brady version Sons Of The Scray with Templeton's count on the B-Side, actually 2 copies.

Chris Grant, heartbreaking stuff.

Re: Brownlow Medal 2024

Agree Josie. I think Treloar will win the B and F.

I think Bont will poll better in the Brownlow, but Treloar will win the b&f due to his consistency in our losses.

Re: Brownlow Medal 2024

I don’t think Bont should win but can’t shake the thought that the AFL will manufacture him a Brownlow like the Academy did with Oscars for Paul Newman and DiCaprio. It is the entertainment business after all.

I suspect the incessant media fapping over Daicos will overcome everything and everyone this year - he will be getting some 3's tonight for otherwise nondescript performances
