Cousins won the medal with 20 votes. Low scoring Brownlow this year.
Well done to Cogs as the best Tiger. 3 of our top 5 were our best 3 midfielders. Richo and Browny were hard done by getting only 7 votes. Surprisingly Joel didn't poll a vote. Umps obviously don't rate sweeper and rebounding types.

No big deal, umpires don't rate classy centremen either. eg Geoff Raines B&F 1980 in a premiership year got zero Brownlow votes. ;)

Although Luke Hodge did alright.
The Brownlow is just inconsistent and much ado about nothing as far as I'm concerned.
How much credibility do we give to umpires during a game?
I suggest we give them even less after it.
Having a 'prestigious' event decided by them is a farce.
-
Its a midfielders award as we have clearly seen.
I thought that a lot of times midfielders got votes when they really shouldn't of.
Btw, Brock McLean getting 9 votes? :gobdrop
-
The umps always pick a deserving winner but they don't appear to take into account which player wins the game. Franklin getting votes ahead of Browny when Browny had 23 disposals and kicked 3 goals in round 2 was laughable. And again against the Hawks Lids gets 26 possessions and was the catalyst for our win yet gets no votes :banghead.
Hodge and Everitt has excellent seasons but how they got that many votes in a side that won just 5 games is mindboggling. Getting heaps of possessions in Clarkson's indirect handball crazy gameplan didn't do anything to win games for the Hawks. Same goes for Nick Stevens with 11 votes for the wooden spooners with just 4 wins.

KB, Raines, Cambo ... the umps must just have it in for Richmond with Scott West not far behind ;).
-
If they'd worn their ankle supports on the outside of their socks like Keith Greig they would have bolted in. :D :(
-
Cogs, Browny and Lids next year will have bleached dreadlocks, sparkling ruby boots and iloveallumpires.com.au as sponsor on the back of their guernseys. That should do the trick lol.
The highest RFC player got 10 votes which is the same as last year under Spud despite us winning 6 more games. The extra votes went to more Tigers.
2005: Cogs 10, Tuck 8, Richo 7, Browny 7, Johnson 7, Hyde 5, Pettifer 2, Cambo 2, Krakouer 2, Deledio 2, Gas 1, Hall 1 (total: 54 votes, 12 Tigers)
2004: Richo 10, Browny 8, Bowden 8, Johnson 4, Tivas 3, Schulz 2, Cambo 1 (total: 36 votes, 7 Tigers)

Ok time for Julz' fashion critique of the Brownlows. The usual best dressed didn't fail - eg Jo Silvagni, Danielle Harvey, Lisa-Marie Lloyd (although I don't like orange). The perennial worst dresser didn't fail either - ie Tania Buckley - at least she wasn't flashing her boobs this year but honestly this girl has no idea. Girls that are too thin - Chris Judd's Rebecca and Pavlich's Lauren. Big improvers from last year: Carla McGuire, although would still like to see her in something more fitting so she doesn't always look pregnant; Megan Akermanis and dare I say it, Richo's Merinda (although I think the dress should be longer, but her hair and accessories were good). Lots of ladies really need to think about accessories as it would really have topped off what they were wearing. Dresses that look like nighties: Ben Cousin's Sam and Mark Johnson's Amy. Notable mentions: Stephanie Wanganeen (very Hollywood), Steph McIntosh, Lauren Newton, Daniel Well's Ria, Jonathon Brown's Kylie, Luke Ball's partner, Serita Stella. Nick Dal Santo's partner looked like she borrowed one of the dresses from "Dancing with the Stars". Rated Bad/Hideous: Brett Kirk's wife, Ben Rutten's partner (shocking), Heath Black's partner, Shane Crawford's partner, Trent Croad's partner in the pink leopard skin print (tarty) and Brad Johnson's wife (ok she's pregnant but you still can look nice).
Out of the Richmond crowd: Cogs' partner - looked nice but very young, Merinda as mentioned (she does love really high heels though, must be quite short) and Shane Tuck's partner Catherine looked ok but not too fussed on the dress.

A quick couple of questions who decides the invites for the brownlows?
Does a player need to have got a vote to get an invite?
Are all former winners invited
Just curious

Not sure exactly but it would previous winners, All-Australians, AFL life members, AFL officials and reps from each club - coach, captain and those expected to poll well. For us last night Wallace, Johnson, Richo, Cogs, Tuck and Lids. I didn't see Bowden but presumably he was there too.
-

She definitely loves the orange fake tan :-X.
What did you think of Cameron Ling and Brodie Holland Julz? ;D
-
MT Bowden was definetly there, everytime i saw him he was stuffing around on his phone (is the misses at home pregnant or someshit? ???)

Thank's for that Julz my wife enjoyed your comments

Dont get me wrong, i love Lids like everyone else but how the hell did he get 2 votes against the Cats.

Lids broke open the play out of defence a few times so he might have caught the umps eye. That's the only thing I can think of. IMO Joel was best for us. Maybe it was payback for Lids getting no votes against the Hawks the week before ???
-
Yea i couldn't Lids getting 2 votes in the Geelong game, and not getting any in the Hawks game (his best game by far).
IMO there is no consistency in the umpires voting.
I will say this though, if Kozi has an injury free season he'll win the brownlow, he got votes in everygame he played just about! :o
I'll be putting a quiet few $$$ on him for next year! :shh

Cameron Ling badly needs a haircut (when you look that bad you can only get better) and Brodie Holland fancies himself as the next Shane Crawford. Even Richo (and this breaks my heart to say it) wasn't looking his best - looks better in dark suits. Some of the guys looked like they'd been to their nearest op shop to get their suits. The dress code was meant to be black tie. No-one really cares about the flashy shoes, unless you are female.

Yeah Lingy's got the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz look going ;).
