Shock Brownlow results: The moment Bont's hopes started to unravel
Our writers look at games where the umps and coaches differed in their votes
www.afl.com.au
AFL article on how the umps differ so much from the coaches and it doesn't make sense.
Even just a couple of games early in the year for us.
Port at Home. Everyone who was at that game watched Butters rip us a new one. Votes were Wines for 3 (got 26 disposals and 10 clearances I guess) but I just remember Butters running the ball constantly out of stoppage and putting the ball inside 50 - game high score involvements of 13 backs up his impact
2 - were for Marshall - got 4 goals and missed a couple of easy ones - take note of this one when we look at the next game
1 - Shai - Was ok and probably 1 of our best but probably wasn't in the best 3 players who probably all should have been Port players. If 1 of our players Bakes was our best on the day
Coaches votes were 10 - Butters, 5 - Bakes - 4 Drew, 4 - Wines, 3 - Zerk-Thatcher, 2 - Rozee, 2 - Marshall
St Kilda in gather round. Low scoring game, Shai was electric, we all remember him in that game, he was everywhere. 4.1, match high score involvements of 8. No votes at all.
3 to Wilkie who was ok, our poor kicking played into his hands. 2 to Seb Ross, who had 25, only 4 CP's and only 4 score involvements. Seriously! and 1 to Nank - it was a ruckmans game and potentially either ruck could have scored votes. Steele was also huge in that game.
Coaches votes were 10 - Shai, 7 - Steele, 4 - Dusty, 3 - Sinclair, 2 - Battle, 2 - Hill. 1 - Taranto, 1 - Wilkie
So Wilkie BOG according to the umps. 1 coach though he was 5th best, 1 coach didn't rank him that high. Ross not in either coaches top 5, but 2nd best for the umps.
Called these 2 out as both early games where the player unanimously voted BOG by the coaches didn't even get a vote in either game, but so many strange calls by the umps. Just explains that they don't really understand the game at all. The Brownlow (if it had any left) has finally lost all credibility whatsoever.
I only watched the red carpet segment.
Mrs Willos likes to look at the ladies and their dresses. I like to look to see if something falls out
Too much time spent on the voting , need more close ups of the red carpet. Maybe Broady can fill in

The umpires gave Cripps a decent suck of the sauce bottle.

This is just another obvious proof on how pathetic these dumb, imbecilic flogs are in this code.
Looks like they didn't like Bont's 'The Boss' hairstyle this season and Cripps seems more attractive....

Greg Williams 1993 - gets 44 possessions in Round 10, but no vote. Loses the count by a vote to Wanganeen.
As the story goes, a young umpire was going to give him votes before the much more senior John Russo intervened, who'd had a history of run-ins and an axe to grind with Diesel.
The integrity of the award has long been flawed.
What is a deposal worth? 2 x disposals
But point taken.
You can still be BOG in a losing side, but I’d like to see the margins and how other players were rated.
And his free kicks: For 49. Against 47
Heard he told security if they don't let him in he'll be going home and the night will be ruined.
Stormed off and left in his Prius.
The week Hird played an absolute blinder, everyone in the media agreed he was easily BOG, it was the week after he slagged off the umpires. From memory I don’t think he got a single vote.
Yep no arguments there, I was replying to the comment.
Because North and WC were competitive in more games than us.
I used to know an AFL umpire, who went around in the Williams days. I criticised him for missing stuff like the 44 possession game.
His response was something akin to, it's fairest and best and when you have a player being a dirty little sniper and mouthing off at umpires, they fail the first test for votes.
