Brownlow - Live on OneHD in Sydney

Just out of curiosity - does anyone remember when Jude and Kieren were suspended?

[laughingnome]

Did anyone else find Dimwit's calling of the votes just plain annoying?? He would race through the other games and when it came to Carlton and Collingwood games, "Collingwood D........daylight........moonlight.....Swan 3 votes" OR "Carlton..........mid-evening nap.........rush to toilet......C.........still in toilet......Judd 3 votes." Just bloody read the names out already!!!

It's theatre. As I pointed out to someone with me watching it, he's got to read 528 names and some of them are inconsequential, especially in the final rounds. No one cares if a Melbourne or West Coast player (for example) polled in the last 6 games when the top three clubs were clearly Collingwood, Geelong and the Western Bulldogs. Pausing adds the suspense and I have no qualm with the way he does it.

Didn't Kieren take an early plea / reprimand earlier in the year? But he didn't miss any games as a result.

In the end I have no problem with Judd winning over Swan. If that finals game against us taught us anything, it's how one player can rise above a sub-par team and produce a brilliant performance. So unlike Swan who had votes being taken away from his well-performing teammates, Judd didn't have that problem.

... Hanners & Kizz just interviewed on the "blue carpet"...

In response to Hughsies complaint about us beating Carlton in the finals -
Kizz: "Stiff!"
Good lad.

And Liz Ellis picking Adam Goodes to win. I may have to watch a game of netball in her honour. Ok, a couple of minutes of a game of netball.

A small pause adds suspense and excitement - the long pauses that Demetriou used throughout the entire reading of the count was laboured and amateurish. Why did he continue to pause (when reading Geelong's votes) after saying J.? Neither Selwood nor Bartel were serious contenders at the end, and he kept doing it. It was like he thought J. and G. were the same letter. Demetriou is a dill.

I could understand the D pause for Collingwood, but I was really over the J pauses for Geelong. Made NO sense! I did like how fast he read the votes tonight though, if it wasn't for some silly padding out, they could have finished by 10pm with ease, even allowing for a few fluff moments and the Stynes tribute.

Nevertheless, it was still fascinating to see how it all panned out. Next time, ignore the hype in the media about short priced favourites and follow your own judgment. Although Swan still polled reasonably well, anyone who backed him must feel like a real mug. I'm sure there were much juicier odds about Judd. And yes, seeing the expression on Eddie's face was delightful.

How filthy does Eddie look!

I was texting my criminal budgie friend on the north coast who didn't get the charlie live ... I mentioned that if looks could kill, eddie everywhere would have buried judd there and then.

Whoo whee. I thought I had a hairy eyeball.

I think he was 17 to 1 before the count started.

[i'm-uninformed2]

Why weren't members of the MRP on stage to share the award given the miracle escape he got for the elbow on Pavlich. Minimal contact, they said. The guy had blood pouring down his cheek! Hilarious

Their absence from the podium or acknowledgement truly spoilt the night.

[Wardy]

I thought Eddie looked more pissed off than Swan, which is always nice to see, he thought that they (the Pies) had it in the bag - could this be an omen and the Saints beat the pies on Saturday??? I hope so!!!
I feel that Judd was just stupidly lucky. He looked a bit smug too me (but then I dont like him so that is just my biased "i think Judd is a tosser" opinion) He may have been genuinely surprised. And the Twigg got the message from last year and so didnt go nuts at the fake tanning booth this year.
Did anyone sense the feeling of annoyance when Lauren Phillips put Liz Ellis in her place when asked about possibility moving to QLD ? she gave it too her with both barrels!
Gazza's bow tie was bigger than his head!,still he, Lingy & Bartel seemed to be having a nice time at their table, they could have a few beers and relax.
Lingy has some competition in the but ugly stakes - anyone had a look at the head of Sandilands? He could scare ghosts out of old houses. At least Lingly has a good sense of Humour - Sandilands looks as thick as @@@@! (although apparently he is quite bright so I'm told)
I think Lingy's girl was "just a friend" as there didnt seem to be any "connection" as it were, maybe its his best mates sister? Still god love Lingy!
Also notice that Reiwoldt & Swans have American girlfriends - both glamours of course as long as they dont take their lead from Edelsteins tranny Mrs, they will do well (admit it Brynn whatsername- looks like a tranny!)
But at least the Swans made in 2 out the 5 best moments of the Decade - with of couse Leapin Leo as number 1!!!

You couldn't look more awkward than the Twig. Can that woman just stand up straight and take her hand off her ribcage for god's sake?

The spandex she was wearing was sooooooooooo tight, that she was trying to encourage her lungs to take a bit more air.

I didnt see what the bottom of the Twig dress was like until I looked at the gallery in the HS this morning - what was attached from the knee down - a collection of old feather dusters & discarded scallop shells (maybe they held the mini oxygen bottle to assist in breathing)?

As for the outfit that Brynne thingy changed into - why bother - it bearly covered anything. the Zipper style diamond necklace really took the attention away from her cleavage didnt it???
