Martin 6

Post by: mightytiges on September 13, 2010, 05:11:01 PM
Swan is obviously favourite but I'll go against the obvious and say Goddard. There's a chance Pendlebury and Didak could take votes off Swan.



As for us we can forget about watching the first 7 rounds that's for sure.

R8 Haw - should get a vote or two at least
R10 Port - All 6 votes.
R11 St K - we lost by 38 but Jack should pick up votes for his 6 goals
R12 Bris - Most of the votes.
R13 WC - All 6 votes . Jack gets 3 for his 10 goals.
R14 Swans - Who knows despite winning as we came from behind.
R15 Freo - All over them in the 2nd half so we really should get all 6 votes.
R18 Adel - Similar to the Freo game although Vince will probably get votes for the Crows.
R19 Melb - Close game for 3 and half quarters so a Tiger should get a least a vote.
R21 St K - Jack again in the votes for kicking 6 goals.
R22 Port - Who knows as we were pathetic in the 2nd qtr and then all over them in the 2nd half. Boak should get 3 votes so maybe a Tiger with 1 or 2 votes.

Total around 36 votes.

Jack   10
Lids     8
Newy   7

Post by: yellowandback on September 13, 2010, 08:23:19 PM
Swan is the obvious but with avg possies of 31 per game (only 1.5 less than Swan and he polled 22 votes 2 years ago averaging 28 touches), 40 goals and a good track record of polling, G Ablett will be decent odds and worth some money to win.

I'll call Goodes for top 3, 2nd most possies ever in his career and most goals in a season. gets votes when he doesn't play - should be juicy odds.

As for Tiggers?

Big Jack - number 1,
Lids
Newby

Jack stiff not to get one vote against Essendon after kicking 6 goals.

Judd showing how much the Blues depend on him. Same with Watson at the Bombers.

Looks like Pendlebury and Swan will take votes off each other. What a shame!  ;D

This will probably push Mundy's price up even further if he does want to move back to Vic.

No offence to Jimmy Stynes, by why do we need crap like this on the Brownlow telecast, same goes with the Carlton 1970 flag story!!  :scream
Title: Re: Brownlow medal thread [merged]
Post by: mightytiges on September 20, 2010, 09:54:57 PM
Jimmy at least won a Brownlow but no idea why the 1970 GF is getting such airplay. Sure it was the biggest comeback in a GF but it was hardly the best GF ever  ::) no matter what Carlton flogs say. 1967 and 1989 were superior IMO.


You've got to love what goes through the umps' minds sometimes btw. Swan had 38 possies, 14 marks and kicked 2 goals in round 14 yet received just 1 vote  :lol.

It's the umpires award TB.

Barlow Round 1 33 possessions and 2 goals in debut = 0 votes.

Its opinion based. Umpires opinion award. Happier to see someone like Judd win a Brownlow then a Cooney or Goodes.

He's the best player in the comp.

And I thought I was seeing things. Swan was on the verge of it and McGuire was thinking the same old - there all out to get collingwood poo.

I'll say this ramps if Mguire was upset with Judd winning as opposed to Swan losing then I agree with him. I just wonder who at AFL house is sucking Judds idiot.

I have to say I'm unable to mount an argument against you RRJ.  There is no way in the wide world Judd was the best player in our competition this year and there is no way he should not have been reported and rubbed out for the strike on Pavlich.  King or Jackson hit Pav the same way and they go for 4 weeks, no doubt in the world.  Devalues the award when you see results like tonight.

How much football does everyone watch?

He also missed 3 game playing 19. He is always going to be top 3 at Carltons every win.

No other player in the league influences his teams performance more than Chris Judd. Collingwood would be fine without Swan same with Geelong without Ablett.

Carlton without Judd are a bottom 6 side.

Judd nearly single handedly won the final against Sydney in the 2nd and 3rd qtr.

This happens every year, Kerr taking votes off Couins, Voss taking votes off Lappin, Grant and West taking votes off each other.

Judd is a deserving winner but the Brownlow isn't actually a best player in the league award though. KB, Royce, Carey, Ablett snr, etc never won one. It's just a 3-2-1 count for each game which favours those that star in the most games in one season rather than most consistent over a career. If they wanted to find the best and most consistent then all 44 players in each game would be given a vote out of 10 say as happens in B&Fs. Tonight simply shows that Carlton is really a one-man band with Judd getting seven 3-votes out of the Blues' 11 wins this year. Whereas Pendlebury and Swan took votes off each other that cost one of the them the medal. Sheesh Judd got 30 votes on his own whereas we as a whole team got just 37 votes  :P.

Yeah well said MT.

Alot has to eb said about Judd's leadership and how he carries himself on the ground. Brent Harvey is to North is what Judd is to Carlton but gets a qtr of as many votes. Harvey plays for free kicks and show boats after goals, as good as he is the umpires don't look to respect him. Judd rarely complains, scrags and more often than not plays within the rules. So he'll always be looked favourably by the umpires as he on field demeanor is as good as anyone.

Swan for example has the personality of a tree and shows no leadership on field and the only thing that stands out is his tatoos. Pendlebury is a more influential player than Swan.

There have been loads worst winners, Woewodin, Cooney, Goodes etc.

He might be their best player Pope but they only won 11 games and 1 of those was without Judd.  To score 30 votes in a team that made the finals and only won 10 of the games he played in is just not reality.  And its a moot point anyway because he should not have been eligible.

So a player that takes a deliberate swing at another and breaks his eye socket, or the same player who pokes an opponent in the eye and then publicly claims a 'martial arts move', or the same player that started the season late this year because he was found guilty of the low act of eye-gouging is worthy of the respect of the umpires but a player who celebrates a goal isn't?  He was eligible for the medal last year because his suspension came in the finals and yet it had no carry over impact this year and you put him up as the one most worthy of respect?  He is a morally bankrupt liar that was not the best player in our great game this year, end of story.
Title: Re: Brownlow medal thread [merged]
Post by: TigerLand on September 20, 2010, 11:58:08 PM
Agree Smoke shouldn't have been eligible thats another argument.

You can poll votes in losing sides, it doesn't matter how many you win? Gary Ablett Snr won a Norm Smith in a losing side, so did Nathan Buckley. Jack Riewoldt polled in the loss to St.Kilda. Morton polled against Port and we lost?

Jack Riewoldt can win a Coleman from the 15th side that won 6 games, Judd can win the Brownlow from a team that won 11.

It's a traditional award that chosen by the officials that umpire the game. The MVP players award has holes as well being voted by the players, most who don't actually watch opposition games and vote on media perception. The most transparent award is the coaches votes awards on Channel 9.

You wont get an argument out of me that he shouldn't have been suspended for the eye gouge and the non suspension for the elbow was wrong. I wont even defend him that his treatment from McPhee was borderline assault and the elbow was out of frustration. He should have been suspended

I think you're drawing a low bow here smoke, Judd is fairer than most in the competition, he's had 2-3 misdemeanors of suspendable offences in his whole career.

To answer the question I think its easier to respect a guy like Judd who carries himself the way he does quietly getting the job done on the footy field over Brent Harvey who plays for free kicks and celebrates a goal like Ronaldo. With all due respect to Brent Harvey but its an example.

Yes, but WP you've forgotten that the completely impartial match review panel ruled that despite Pavlich requiring four staples to stem the blood flow, Judd's hit on him wasn't considered forceful enough impact to warrant a report. ???

I think you're drawing a low bow here smoke, Judd is fairer than most in the competition, he's had 2-3 misdemeanors of suspendable offences in his whole career.

To answer the question I think its easier to respect a guy like Judd who carries himself the way he does quietly getting the job done on the footy field over Brent Harvey who plays for free kicks and celebrates a goal like Ronaldo. With all due respect to Brent Harvey but its an example.

I can't see it that way at all Pope.  The umpires are meant to be awarding votes to the 3 best players on the ground in any given game of football.  Accounting for whether a player celebrates a goal like Ronaldo or shows no emotion at all is not in their charter and should not come into it.  If it does then its a terrible indictment on the umpires and their ethics, just like they should still consider a player for votes even when he is ineligible.  I would counter that it should be infinitely harder to respect a bloke who has been rubbed out for an eye gouge and had no penalty to pay Brownlow-wise and told lies to the MRP when questioned about it, than a player who celebrates a goal a bit more than some others (not that Harvey stands out to me at all in that area but that's another matter).  And let's not forget that Judd has been up for eye gouging twice - only to have Campbell Brown lie to the MRP for him and then later get fined $15k when he admitted the lie.  You talk about quietly getting the job done and yet I have never heard Harvey complain once about being tagged or scragged, even though he cops a tag each week just like Judd - can't say the same about Judd who was quite happy to talk to the press when he felt he was being unfairly treated.

Yes, this uplifting moral leader of our code has been caught eye gouging twice and lied about it, yet you think he is more deserving of the respect of the umpires than a player who has been reported once in his 300 game career and had that report thrown out by the MRP with no case to answer as it was "not a tripping action"?  Thats the whole issue I have with Judd in general - he gets held up by all and sundry as a doyen of humility, honesty and fair play yet he did nothing to help his team mates at West Coast when they were doing the wrong thing with drugs, did nothing at Carlton (as captain) when 3 of his players ran amok at a pre-season function, lied to the public and the MRP, and allowed another player to take the fall for lying on his behalf.  Thats the whole issue I have with Judd - he is not the 'saint' that he is portrayed to be and I don't think he deserves the preferential treatment he receives from the AFL, media and public.  He is all about Chris Judd.

And as for being the best player in the competition this year?  Didn't make top 5 in the MVP, was running a very distant 5th in the Coaches Award (with 3 rounds to go), finished outside the top 3 in the Herald Sun Player of the Year Award and scraped into the All Australian side on the bench.  Nope, he was not this years best player and did not deserve his Brownlow on a number of levels.  The value of the Medal was cheapened last night.

Should have been suspended after he made Pavlich bleed. I smell a conspiracy.   :chuck

Was not BOG against us in round 20.

It's the umpires award TB.

Barlow Round 1 33 possessions and 2 goals in debut = 0 votes.

Its opinion based. Umpires opinion award. Happier to see someone like Judd win a Brownlow then a Cooney or Goodes.

He's the best player in the comp.

you are wrong Pope. He is the best player at Carlton, not the comp. No where near. Outside the top 5 for me.

The fact that money hungry idiot he won it was a disgrace. The only comfort i get is the look on Eddie's face. That aside those losers who flap their arms around are dumb as dog poo and should not be awarding Brownlow Votes when you have Barlow not getting awardded none for his effort.
That priveledge should go to respected people like Barrassi, Matthews  etc etc who have no bias whatsoever.

We have changed the game in so many areas, some better some not but this needs to be overhauled in a massive way.

How This greedy prick and Goodes,although i like him) won 2 Brownlows is an absolute joke.

Agree with this, best player in competition is purely opinion based. Judd is better player than Ablett and Swann?

Judd doesn't get rotated like a charcoal chicken like Swan and Ablett gets more handball receives than a Brazzer.com model.

Judd takes a tag every week, has a rubbish young midfield that doesn't protect him. He's the best midfielder in the comp. It's a midfielders medal. It makes sense to me.

And while discussing Barlow, here is a great example why I don't trust umpires to have a clue when it comes to choosing the best players.  Round 1 Fremantle vs Adelaide the votes went Sandilands 3, Mundy 2, Pavlich 1.  Here's the stats from that game:

AS - 21 disposals (5k 16h), 4 marks, 33 hitouts, 2 tackles, 0 goals.
DM - 28 disposals (10k 18h), 3 marks, 1 hitout, 0 tackles, 1 goal.
MP - 22 disposals (12k 10h), 1 mark, 0 hitouts, 3 tackles, 3 goals.
MB - 33 disposals (13k 20h), 6 marks, 1 hitout, 4 tackles, 2 goals.

They are either not fair dinkum or just bloody clueless....................or most likely a combination of both.

Understand where you are coming from Smokey but how a player influences the game must be considered which is not always evident in stats.

Not that I am standing up for the maggots I am still filthy on the treatment we received this year.

Fully agree re: the stats Chuck.  I'm not stats-centric but I think they can highlight things missed in general perceptions and when used with those perceptions you are likely to get a much more accurate picture of reality.  However, in the case of the game I used in my example above, there is only one possible way Pavlich's 22 disposal, 1 mark, 3 goal game could have been more influential than Barlow's 33 disposal, 6 mark, 2 goal game and that is because of his name.  We know from watching his season unfold that Barlow did not rack up cheap stats, was not a seagull or downhill skier, he was the real deal so to miss out on a vote while Pavlich got one is just plain wrong.  Umpires knew Pavlich well, didn't have a clue who the first-gamer Barlow was.  And that's why I don't trust their judgment - it's not based fairly.

A magpie supporter pointed out in the paper that Podsiadly polled more votes than Jack R. despite the fact Jack kicked 80 goals and was a regular in mark of the week etc.  Why do people rate this award at all ?  Its by the MAGGOTS!!!  THey are effing useless at the best of times so who gives a eff what they think???  The coaches award carries much more weight imo, even the MVPA.  They should blackball this crap, its just a t-its teeth and a-rse party for the birds anyway.

Judd doesn't get rotated like a charcoal chicken like Swan and Ablett gets more handball receives than a Brazzer.com model.
