Baffling to say the least  ::)
Even up to a few weeks ago was considered a smokey for the award and will poll very well most likely be the best poller from the club.
Does the AFL know something that we will find out on Monday when the count begins? :whistle

Nathan Foley u have got to be stuffin joking.
Next they are going to send my Nonna Rosina an invite. what a disgrace.

Foley had a very average year. I seriously cant believe this decision.

no Hodge or Franklin either, must be an oversight unless the Coleman medalist is an automatic invitee like all captains and past winners

I just looked at the other clubs list of invitee's and the players who made the AA are on the list! players like Cooney, Fisher, Bartel, Ablett, etc..... they're all on the list of invitee's but richo isn't on it!

Bit of a rip off if he isn't a show!

Difference is I suppose the Lions tailed off whilst we finished strong. Although I suppose Richo's first half was a lot better than his second half of the season.

Looking at the count now I think its worked against Richo not getting votes against Essendon in Rd 9 when the general concensus was that he would. Hopefully he polls a few against Freo to get him over the line. :banghead

Something like that :thumbsup
Apparently there was a scrag fight between Rebecca Twigley and Harvey's missus as Twigley was laughing at her copycat cheapbum version of her dress in 2004 and Harvey's missus lost it as she was not going to take that lying down and behaved in a way that befitted a woman who goes around belting other mothers at her kids creche. :lol

Title: Re: 2008 Brownlow thread
Post by: Hellenic Tiger on September 22, 2008, 10:46:43 PM
Richo needs a 3 against Hawthorn and to pinch a vote or 2 against Freo when Tuck and Lids had great games also to at least have a chance to tie with Black at a minimum or win outright. Had a shocker against the Dees in Round 22 so won't poll at all. Hopefully the 2 goals Richo kicked in the last quarter to get us over the line against Freo were eyecatching enough to the umps in a pretty uninspiring game overall.  :pray

Post by: the_boy_jake on September 22, 2008, 10:47:40 PM

Not gonna happen Julz. Franklin will win by 2 or 3 votes.

Both are ineligible. Like I say why can't they just add a fixed penalty so that if you are pinged for one game (or accept a reprimand like Franklin did) you start on -5, two games -10 etc.

As I reiterated earlier round 9 v Essendon when Richo had a great game and got no votes cost him dearly. :banghead Deserved a vote in rd 21 also against Freo. Would have got him over the line. Place would have gone beserk if Richo had got up.
Great effort from the big fella would have been a wonderful winner a popular winner and a humble winner. Nevertheless congratulations to Adam Cooney. First number one draft pick from 2003 to win. Here's to Lids to become the second number one draft pick to win a Brownlow in the very near future. :thumbsup

Newy  had   16 disp.  5 marks  1 goal   = 3 votes against Freo  yet he got no votes despite 27 possies against Hawthorn and 30 possies against Melbourne  ???.

Richo had 18 disp. 10 marks and kicked 2.2 against Freo.

Please explain!  ???

He did get 3 votes in the round 12 game against the Dees :thumbsup
Still what ifs what ifs what ifs. So close yet so far. Can't believe he did not get a vote or 2 in rd 9 against the Bombers. Just cruel.  :banghead

Yeah tough. Richo kicks 2 match winning goals in the last quarter to give us breathing space in a game with no real highlights so unfortunate that Richo's efforts didn't catch the umps attention in a way that would equate to votes. Would have thought Tuck or Lids might have got votes in that match also and although Jackson was good on the day in hindsight perhaps is effort was not worthy of a vote.

Foley and Lids tore the Bombers mids to shreds in the first half and Edwards kept getting by himself inside 50 because dopey Lovett-Murray wouldn't go near him. Shane could have kicked 6 by half-time if he kicked straight. Hard for the umps to miss any of those 3.

How about Clever kicking 6 and Morton 5 goals against Port and no votes for either yet two Port players get votes in our win ::)

Fair point OE. Just checked to see how we all voted in the weekly match day OER Tiger of the Year Award and yes both in Rd 9 and Rd 21 there were clearly other standouts in the votes that we the forumites gave. So I guess as a consensus on how we saw things we can take off our yellow and black glasses now that all the hype and hope have subsided. What we can reflect upon though is that Richo is a champion and he proved it this year that as a 33 year old he almost upstaged blokes like Black Cooney and Ablett many years his junior. Hopefully team honours do not escape Richo now that perhaps the highest individual honour for this year at least has. :thumbsup

Couldn't have said it better HT  :clapping  :thumbsup. Everybody loves Richo. A true champion  :bow  :bow  :bow.

Also good to see Cotch get 2 votes in his debut year. The first of many for the future champ (touchwood barring injury).

According to my investigation, Richo is the Highest Richmond poller since Maurice Rioli polled 23 and lost by 1 vote to Ross Glendinning in 1983.   :clapping :clapping

The umps love Goodes as much as the tribunal does. 21 votes in a year he supposedly struggled  :o. I know Richo was lucky to get 1 vote against Geelong but Goodes received 2 votes for a game he only had 14 possies and kicked 4 points  ???.

Some things are never meant to add up
Martin Boulton | September 24, 2008

Richmond's Joel Bowden had 39 touches, including 23 marks, in the round 13 win against Port Adelaide, but the votes went to Shane Tuck (three) and the Power's Daniel Motlop (two) and David Rodan (one). Rodan had 20 disposals and no marks.

While Richardson almost stole the show, teammate and 2008 club best and fairest winner Brett Deledio finished the night 14 votes behind the Tiger veteran.
