    B2 the invisible man

    Well done to the AFL's umpires...

    Craig Bolton has had an All Australian year and doesn't poll a single Brownlow vote!

    only because he and his opponent are invisible. perfect defender.
    then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know

      Well there were a few queer results, and this is NOT meant to distract from Goodes' win as you don't win a Brownlow TWICE by chance, but did you notice the results of the Rnd 14 game.

      Goodwin carved us up, had 30-odd possies, smashed Kirk to pieces - and didn't get a vote. He was a motza for BOG yet the umps missed him.

        IIRC no defender has won the Brownlow (making statements like that, I'm asking for trouble), B2 does his job, and is a no nonsense footballer. I think he'll poll a few votes in the club b&f.

          Read an interview with a Souths Brownlowist last week who won playing at FB - the diehards here will know his name. But he's a rare beast indeed.

              B2 must ahve played on Goodwin and they both disappeared into the cone of silence.

                          John James in the 60's played HBF for Carlton...& a Carlton CHB (name escapes me) won it some years later. Neil Roberts was St.Kilda CHB when he won it in 54 (from memory)...same year he was my PE Teacher at Boundary Road State School North Melbourne. There have been others also.

                          Re B2...I hope they keep missing him! He is hidden treasure!

                              Andrew Schauble won a B&F the year he polled 3 votes in just 1 game. Richmond R20 or 21 2000 where we won by 1pt and knocked them out of the 8.
