Why is a medal that's voted for by the umpires so prestigous? Surely the MVP and the coaches award should mean more than what umpires think.

[@Saint_Svadhisthana_Sahasrara_1]

I think it’s just the history of it…

[@imalwaysright]

Heeney may be leading the Brownlow, but Bont is the best player in the game

[@HorizonOfHope]

Heeney has to compete with team mates Gulden and Warner, though, so I reckon Bont is better placed.

[@imalwaysright]

@@HorizonOfHope no disrespect to Heeney, but we hope Bont gets it. If there's anyone that deserves a Brownlow, it's him.

[@HorizonOfHope]

@@imalwaysright It’s outrageous that Neale has 2 and Bont has 0.

[@papleylivesrentfreeinurhead]

@@imalwaysright would be happy if they shared it, or even a three way with naicos too. all three are having a massive impact with heeney having the most competition within his team

[@TheMissiIe]

​@@HorizonOfHopedon't forget that English and Treloar have taken a fair few 3 point games off Bont this season. Bont started slow. Daicos is probably leading with Serong close behind

[@Comatosedpeanut]

No. Treloars been pretty good this season he will take votes off him.

[@ross7423]

I think anyone from Sydney will suffer from what any great and dominant team does on Brownlow night, is that everyone contributing and the top players 'steal' votes from one another. Heaney is competing against Gulden, Warner, Grundy, Papley, Hayward and even Amartey kicking 9 surly stole the 3 votes last week. Bont stands out out so much every dogs game with less players around him to take votes. Only real danger is if umpires see Treloar's season and he takes the odd 3 or 2 vote games from Bont which might cost him in the end. The very reason why Ablett always got the votes is he had zero help at the Suns most weeks.

[@Tosicc567]

Lobb is genuinely better for the dogs structure than darcy atm He plays the more daniher role as a second ruck and does it really well. Idk why they havent been playing him, he makes their team better when he plays well

[@Idk_tbh20]

Sam Darcys kicked nearly as many goals in 11 games this season than Rory lobb kicked the whole of last season. He had his chance to be a routine starter and blew it.

[@Tosicc567]

@@Idk_tbh20 Have you seen the difference in roles he's played though? His role was to set up the other two forwards and they played way better with him in it. Lobb is much better up the ground than any of their other forwards, when he's not in they have to go up which takes either mara or naughton out. Darcy is great ofc but nowhere near as good as a half ruck/high forward

Is bontempelli the goat? Brb whilst I contempelli.

[@nickt9946]

Lobb is being actively shopped by his agent ATM. Hence, why he has pulled his finger out of his overpaid a$$. 🤷‍♂️

[@RamoneCricket-fq3ue]

He hasn’t won one yet because the dogs always cough up some games in the back end of the season. Bont has actually never played in a home and away top 4 team; even in 2021 they only finished 5th. And then the umpires always seem to find a way to give him 2 votes in games where he is clearly BOG. Last year he had 30 and kicked 3 against Essendon, and still only got 2 votes.

[@Adm1rance]

dogs losing to eagles last year was the one that cost him

[@taliamason7986]

​@@papleylivesrentfreeinurheadThat certainly wasn't the case when Fyfe won his 2nd Brownlow Medal in a terrible Fremantle side.

[@imalwaysright]

this is true. His teammates have cost him Brownlows

[@shannonbaron7302]

Bont has only had 2-3 3point games in 14 games, several Sydney players have had 10 polling games.

[@camerontait3786]

So the Swans will take votes off each other. Sounds great, go Bont!

[@Idk_tbh20]

You do realise that only 1 player can get the 3 votes each game right?

[@Klistern2]

Its funny though, does Bont ever get tagged? Best player in AFL and Freo lets him loose... Meanwhile Daicos holding pies together with weekly hard tags and still has huge impact. Seems its obvious who teams and coaching staff think is the most dangerous player. I guess they know that WB are non contenders.

[@Comatosedpeanut]

Daicos is already arguably the best player in the game, it’s genuinely scary to think how good he will be in a few seasons time.

[@brendanc6440]

Bont literally got tagged by berry by brisbane two weeks ago you spanner.

[@bigal4109]

@@brendanc6440and he got 14 disposals and they lost

[@brendanc6440]

@@bigal4109 he got 20 and scored 3 goals

[@gfunkera]

Bont is able to kick those goals because he is greased up like Groundskeeper Willy

[@trentdoyledoyletrent]

What about we work out a selection of fans, then take into account umpires, coaches, players and have like the aggregate of all sectors. Also 3 or less games suspended in a season is ok. Then we really know who’s the best and fairest that year!!!???? I like the fairest bit…the game is played on the edge so allow some leeway for a minor offence.

[@jameshayes1159]

I've believed the Bont has been the best player all year but will Bulldogs win enough games

[@HorizonOfHope]

Still bizarre he hasn’t won it already. Last year, if not Gulden or Daicos he seemed the obvious choice. The last few years he has seemed destined to get it but fallen short after some odd votes.

[@luketuskes6080]

I watched the couch. Gary Lyon said he didn't want to gloss over collingwoods performance and then completely glossed over it. Talked about the roos but then didn't talk about collingwoods incredible performance. The blokes still hurting after what the pies did to his mediocre melbourne team

[@cmadelaide56]

‘Gloss over’ means multiple things, one of which is ‘to make it seem not important’. He didn’t gloss over Collingwood, he was being respectful of their performance, but talking about North. You need to lighten up - it’s actually ok to not talk about Collingwood all the bloody time.

[@kevferguson6065]

Rory lobby to hawks perfect fit

[@jimmyriddle5246]

Please no

[@mrporkchop-lx6ed]

No thank you 😁

[@camerontait3786]

So the Hawks want Lobb and Smith do they? Alright then, pay up.

[@bennuballbags2]

Bonts will be the next West, earned the most Brownlow points but never won it...if he played for Collingwood he'd win it. Competitionm is sickly bias
