Most Brownlow Votes (potential spoilers for NSWers without Fox)

[laughingnome]

Goodes had 10 kicks, 11 handballs and took 8 marks in the round 11 win over West Coast when he was reported. I think that had he not being found guilty of striking there is a reasonable chance he woiuld have picked up 3 votes to make a tied win. Personally, even though he didn't have a great year, I think Goodes kissed goodbye a third Brownlow.

I don't like saying it but there, I did.

*Everyone* should feel sorry for Richo though. The poor guy.

Xie Shan is right though - the fact our youngsters were polling is a good sign for next year. Here's hoping Goodes get's hungry and motivated enough to pull his head in from the get-go next year.

I am glad he didn't win it because he didn't have a Brownlow deserving year. Him getting so many votes was bad enough. Winning this year would have completely detracted from the two deserved ones he has.

For similar reasons I am glad Black didn't win. He had a pretty good season (better than Goodes) but even he seemed completely embarassed by the way he was polling. Mind you, I thought he was a chance to pick up a vote in the round 22 game against us. Despite the thrashing we handed the Lions, Black was superb in that game and gave Kirk the worst pantsing I can remember Kirk getting for several seasons.

It was certainly thrilling. I couldn't get vision but had my hands on the radio. God bless the internet.

As an interesting side, Adam Cooney is the first #1 draft pick to claim a Brownlow Medal.

I can't believe Goodesy finished top 5...wow...what a joke

Totally agree Liz.

Welldone Goodesy and the boys.But how good was the Adam Cooney speach he was a crack up.

[Plugger46]

Totally agree Liz.

Yep me too.

Did anyone see Goodsey last night? Or has he already had surgery?

I was looking good for a 9-legged multi bet (picking the leading vote getters from 9 of the teams) and several hundred schmakaroos (sp?) until Lenny Hayes was given 3 votes in the last round!! ( I had Roo)

We did the same thing!
