2016 Brownlow Medal [merged]

[TigerMonk]

Sportsbet just dropped Dusty from $10.00 to $7.00 which is still good odds so get on the band wagon

$20.00 will win you $140.00 

I took the 61-1 in March
Go you good thing !!!

l cant remember what l took him at l will have to go back to my pending bets but l know l also took the Lachlin Hunter from the Bulldogs at some stupid odds cause l pressed the wrong name  & instead of cancel l just kept it & he has shortened also 

[Yeahright]

I hope Dusty wins just to stick it up to all those in the media who wanted to crucify him earlier in the year

And KB, and about 10% of site members here who had him guilty until proven innocent.

 

I always supported him. Who are the 10%? Can't remember too many bagging him.

Thete were 3 or 4 from memory. I guess that represents 1 in 10 regular posters.....

I know there were a few (myself included) not happy with him being rip roaring drunk in public but not sure if anyone was paying him out during the peak of the scandal.

Not too sure about that

Let's be honest it was more than 10%, those people well and truly know who they are even though they won't admit it

20%?

How did Dusty miss a vote?

DUSTIN Martin continued his sparkling season with another day out at the MCG against Essendon.

The Richmond star was everywhere on the ground as he amassed 43 disposals, 35 kicks, 22 contested possessions and 14 clearances — all career highs — as well as two goals, six marks and four tackles to earn 152 SuperCoach points in the Tigers’ 19-point win over the Bombers.

Frankly, there was not much more Dusty could do in what was arguably the biggest performance of his career.

The three Brownlow votes are surely in the bag.

Our very own Sam Edmund thinks so after awarding Martin three votes in the Herald Sun Player of the Year award, and ex-Essendon star Matthew Lloyd gave him the maximum five votes in the 3AW award.

Martin firmed into second favourite for the Brownlow Medal at $7.

But Carlton great and ABC commentator Mark Maclure questioned Martin’s influence and didn’t give him a single vote.

That’s right, Dusty didn’t even feature in Maclure’s top three best players with his votes going to Richmond teammates Ben Griffiths (three), Trent Cotchin (two) and Essendon’s Zach Merrett (one).

    Just spoke to Maclure. He gave 0 votes to Dusty. His first comment: "I couldnt care less". Says he had 33 in the back half that went 2 yards

    Don't agree with Sellers that Dusty wasn't in the top 3 but agree with his point we should ignore stats sheets and vote more on influence
    — Jon Ralph (@RalphyHeraldSun) July 16, 2016

Yes, Martin’s disposal efficiency was only 51 per cent but most of his possessions didn’t come cheaply, and his 585 metres gained was the most of any player on the field.

He also had six inside 50s, which was more than any other player.

It’s worth remembering not even 44 disposals guaranteed Greg Williams a Brownlow vote in 1993.

However, Martin’s absence from Maclure’s vote certainly raised more than a few eyebrows on social media.

    Hi. My name is Troy McClure. You may remember from such things such as not giving Dustin Martin a single vote and being incompetent #gotiges

    Dustin Martin was the difference between the two sides at the end of the day, Maclure to give no votes is ridiculous https://t.co/9EkGQuYVZF

I get the impression Mark McClure hates Richmond

[WA Tiger]

Yes he does, with a passion, he never talks about the RFC in a positive manner, ever, he is a stuffing tosser.

[Tigeritis™©®]

And so he shouldn't. As we also should hate the scum cheats with a passion.  Mark is a cheat too because he played with the cheats and won premierships cheating with his cheating club.

As long as he can sleep at night with his 3 medals slowly choking him.   

[Andyy]

Yes he does, with a passion, he never talks about the RFC in a positive manner, ever, he is a stuffing tosser.

Something to do with a bloke named Jim Jess...

[Stalin]

cotchin should be given his one the same night

THE BROWNLOW Medal race is heating up after the top four on the leaderboard all featured among the votes in round 17, according to AFL.com.au's predictor.

As it stands, Sydney Swans gun midfielder Luke Parker and Geelong superstar Patrick Dangerfield share the lead on 21, with Richmond's Dustin Martin one behind that pair and Adelaide's Rory Sloane hot on their heels with 19.

Dangerfield ($1.95 favourite), Martin ($6.50 second favourite) and Sloane ($8, third favourite) are all into the shortest odds with CrownBet that they have been this year.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I'd personally be putting money on Sam Mitchell. At 11's, he's getting all the benefits of the money for Dusty
