Dangerfield addresses 2017 Brownlow conspiracy theory

By Nic Negrepontis
SEN
24 Sep 2018


Dustin Martin won the 2017 Brownlow Medal by three votes from Patrick Dangerfield who was ineligible.

A conspiracy theory arose after the event that Dangerfield was robbed of three votes to make sure he didn’t win.

The 2016 Brownlow winner gathered 32 disposals, won 12 clearances and kicked two goals in his side’s Round 22 win over Collingwood – and yet he polled no votes.

Dangerfield commented on the conspiracy, with tongue firmly placed in cheek.

“Look, I’m not going to go into that, but 32 touches, 12 clearances and two goals, you know, I won’t comment on that more!” Dangerfield told SEN’s Whateley.

What bout when Tivendale lost the Liston by 2 votes?? Umps gave him either 0 or 1 (don't recall, but it was one of those 2 numbers) in a game where he had 38 disposals and kicked 6 goals from the midfield..:shh

No, but when I said his time was up the club listened and never picked him again until I said he deserved a farewell game..:shh

Far bigger stitch up than whatever happened to Danger last year.

At least Tivva actually was the best player in the VFL the year he copped a dodgy round :shh
