2016 Brownlow Medal [merged]

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

What's the team Brownlow medal drought ladder?  Are we on top of this too? I reckon we might. 

University has got us covered there  .

In fairness, we've been screwed in Brownlows in past years. Raines got no votes in 1980 despite being the favourite. Cambo was also one of the favourites in 1995 but only got 10 votes.

This could all change if the AFL strips Watson of the 2012 medal.

I still can't believe all the previous hate for Dusty when he was apparently off to another club then all the stuffers who wanted him hung for chopstick gate.

Some people need to reflect and have a good long hard look at themselves

RESPECT Dusty

Dusty shows future Brownlow potential

DUSTIN Martin went to the Brownlow Medal on Monday night hoping for a “good time” and left a genuine contender for the years to come.

Martin, 25, might look at newly minted Brownlow Medallist Patrick Dangerfield and smile as he too boasts the tools required to win the game’s highest individual award.

The prolific ball-winner has the speed, skills and durability in spades, and has now added consistency to that irresistible mix.

The All-Australian and Richmond best-and-fairest stamped his future Brownlow credentials with 25 votes to finish third behind Dangerfield (35) and Sydney’s Luke Parker (26).

Martin wasn’t alone as rising superstars Adam Treloar (21), Marcus Bontempelli (20) and Zach Merrett (19) also polled strongly.

The Tigers’ playmaker was shunned early, polling just twice in the first eight rounds, before a withering run through the middle rounds saw him rocket up the bunched leaderboard.

Martin’s impressive haul featured six three-vote games, including the polarising Round 17 clash with Essendon.

Former Carlton great Mark Maclure ignored Martin when dishing out his votes for ABC radio despite the ball magnet punching out a career-high 43 disposals.

Maclure said Martin’s disposals were mostly in the back half and “went two yards”.

Champion Data later revealed Martin had 18 ineffective kicks, the highest ever recorded, a stat Maclure said vindicated his decision.

The umpires obviously saw it differently.

It capped a breakout season for Martin, who led the Tigers in most statistical categories, despite a tumultuous preseason and having to deal with his father’s deportation earlier in the year.

yep agreed, have a good feeling this will spur him onto even greater heights.

If Dustin plays in the midfield as of Round 1 and Richmond win 11 or more matches he will be a Brownlow Medallist!

Dangerfield was trying to win the Chas and there's nothing wrong with that.

Dusty just played good footy.

I'm disgusted at how the woman behind the entire sabotage has slunk back to her job as a background woman of self Importance at channel 7.

Has the right stuff to captain the team better than Rance and Cotch who both sook too much to expect the kids to look up too.

Right, now that Danger has his medal the umps (& the media) can get on with casting votes to the players who deserve them!  Its like we were obliged to let Danger have this one, to tick off Geelong giving up two first rounders for him, to justify all the guff that came out of several commentators mouths. 
With any luck the 2017 Brownlow wont be another 'orchestrated' event (like too many have been) & maybe, just maybe, we might get a deserving winner for a change!

Vote [3] for Dusty!       
Oh ... & get Fat Boy to hand over Cotchin's medal too ...
