They sure like dragging the night out. Either that or the person in charge forgot to flick the switch back to live coverage

An hour between awards too long at the end of the night

Joeys first finish outside top 3?

Parker wins from Lloyd and Franklin (tied 2nd).

Well, that's a bit of a surprise. He was good in the second and third thirds of the season but I'm surprised Parker pipped Buddy.

Can't help but think that the forwards, and especially the defenders, got a bit of a raw end of the stick with the votes, compared to the midfielders. I know Lloyd kinda plays defence, but as a smaller players he's a pseudo-midfielder.

Bloody thing cut out just as announcement was about to be made.
Thanks Ugg

Classic when Buddy spilt the beans.....of what everyone knew anyway. "I don't know what everyone's laughing about." Funny stuff.

For what it's worth (not much, I guess) I thought Parker would be our top Brownlow vote-getter. I thought his last two-thirds were outstanding and his ability to thrust us forward won us a few games. Bloody well done, mate.

1. Parker
2. Lloyd/Franklin
4. Kennedy
5. Hewett
6. Grundy
7. Papley
8. Hannebery
9. Jones
10. Heeney

What was the final margin at the end? Could Lloyd have won it if he played in both the Hawks losses ?

696 votes vs 650

46 points. 696 - 650. So, probably.

I'm surprised Mills didn't do better. I thought he was really good this year. I underestimated how well Papley would do. I had Hewett in my to 10, but never expected him to get as high a 5th. I think some of us were questioning his contribution. Obviously very highly rated by the coaches. It's a good omen that our 1st two draft picks from the 2013 draft both made the top 10; it's a good sign that we are drafting and developing players for continued success.

I think my favourite part of the presentation was Adam Spencer calculating that, if he keeps up his 2017 goal kicking rate, Buddy will overtake Plugger's all time goal kicking tally in the 3rd quarter of round 12, 2025 (in his 437th game).

I'd like to see that!

The winner of Ludwig's Future Star Award for 2017 is Sam Fisher.



I know you can't believe it, but yes Sam, you are #1. The most coveted award in football is yours.

That?s before his contract runs out, right?
