Brownlow Medal thread

[one-eyed]

There's a new poll on the RFC site which askes which Richmond player will poll the most votes in the Brownlow Medal out of Lids, Foley, Richo, Joel and Polak.

Thoughts?

Foley for me. Possibly Richo

[wayne]

Foley then Richo.

Foley
Richo
Bowden

Foley, he's been an absolute gun this season 

Quite unlikely given the position we are in, but I hope he gets AA selection 

[WilliamPowell]

If Nathan Foley doesn't poll well in the Brownlow there is something seriously wrong.....

But then again we are talking about the group of blokes who constantly guess when it comes to the hands in the back rule

deledio with about 10 
foley just behind
my feeling is that lids has played a couple of big games eg both essendon matches and could possibly get 3 votes from each game.
foley will probably snag a 1 vote here and there mostly due to the fact we haven't been winning

[retygas]

Would have to be Foley with the dash he has shown. Folowed by Deledio but I think he will be at least 10 points behind.

With only 3.5 wins for the year we won't get many 3 and 2 votes but the umps like Richo in the Brownlow. He's hard to miss seeing especially when we are winning and he's picking up a lazy 15 marks.

Richo 8
Foley 7
Lids   6
Joel   4
Polak 4

I can see Hird getting the 3 votes for the first Essendon clash. After all he did get the dreamtime medal for his 15 or so possessions. 

Knowing that I would say Lids might only get the two votes for that match.

Richardson not so rough for Tigers

MATTHEW Richardson is the value runner in the quest to find out who will poll most votes for Richmond in this year's Brownlow medal.

TAB Sportsbet, in a betting market that deals specifically with each club, has Richardson a $6 third favourite behind Nathan Foley to be top Tiger on Brownlow night.

Richardson's ability to take contested marks, keep presenting and play the game in a scrupulously fair fashion ensures he will attract umpire attention, even in a year as bad as Richmond's.

The key to Richmond may well be identifying who played well in its three wins. For instance when the Tigers beat Essendon in Round 21, Richardson took a lazy 15 marks and was in the best along with Joel Bowden and Brett Deledio.

And "Richo" has had a habit of polling well over the journey as 106 career votes suggests, whereas Foley is the unknown factor.

Just because he will be a deserving and runaway winner of the club's best and fairest doesn't guarantee Brownlow votes.

There have been plenty of Brownlow winners who haven't finished top three in their club B&Fs. Or in reverse, there are cases like Geelong's Matthew Scarlett. In 2003 he won his club award by 130 votes yet polled just five in the Brownlow.

TOP TIGERS

$2 Nathan Foley, $3.75 Joel Bowden, $4 Brett Deledio, $6 Matthew Richardson.

Sugar as captain, Lids, Foley and Polak are the Tigers invited to the Brownlow.

No Richo  ???

Agree, solid logic.  Richo has traditionally polled top votes when Richmond win, he has >10 grabs and he also kicks a few.

Foley cant win with 22# 1 votes can he ?
