Brownlow tonight

[forest]

One of the best things about GF week for me is the Brownlow, a great look back over the year and strangely compelling tv... who would that of counting votes
Judd is the obvious front runner (gibbs may have stolen some of his votes)
Goodes is also high on my list with a stellar last half of the year.

Another roughy, for me, is Sam Mitchell... he won the channel nine yearly vote as well as coming a draw with (i think) the 3AW footy commentary team.

Strange world.

I would rather have a root canal filling without anaesthetic than sit in front of the T.V. watching a bunch of has-been footy bores demonstrating that they can count past ten.

Might watch the w.a.g. s on the entrance parade, though - some of them are good eye candy.

I enjoy the night too...but I guess I'm just a footy fan.....

Interesting comments Svengali - clearly not a footy follower - that's fine.....but not sure why you think the current day players are "has beens" ???? ....oh and if you didn't watch you missed out on seeing the winners lovely partner......

Let's just say Dane's kicking goals on the field as well as off it......

Lots of other eye candy to look at as well......some real stunners

Good winner Dane Swan, I didn't count on him because he missed games with injury and I thought pennelbury would take too many votes off him.

Well I just hope Swan winning isn't a bad omen Last Magpie to win the Brownlow? Buckley
Result an absolute caning by Brisbane the following saturday

This grand final is an evenly matches one.... Brisbane was, IMO, a much better side than the Collingwood of the day.

I didn't know Sam Mitchell was not able to win.... he was reported but not suspended...

 

[oz-surfer]

Yep - he took an early plee and got a discount so no suspension.

Could have challenged but risked a week

Did the team thing - would have been real tough if he won...

 

[Happy2]

Far as I am concerned it should be No Suspension No Foul

 

[oz-surfer]

I agree Happy 2 - and beleive that is actually the case....

The charge he was found guilty of resulted in a 1 week suspension (based on the point tally exceeding 100) - howver he has a good record and therefore is eligible for a discount in points, resulting in less than 100....

It is a strange scenario - but I'd rather discounts be offered than not, based on past record....The fact remains he was found guilty of an offence that resultd in a 1 week suspension.....
