Bont came #2 in the Coaches Award and #1 AFLPA Award. Neale was #5 in the Coaches Award. The voting criteria is slightly different for Brownlow, in that it’s the best AND _fairest_ player, but it was a shock Neale won. Nobody, including himself, expected it. Brownlow is losing some of its prestige. Bont virtually carries a team on his shoulders. His teammates let him down this year.

They would probably make the excuse that Sydney lost which shouldn't explain the reason other players can get 3 votes in a losing game. The reason they gave him 1 vote is because it would be boring to see Errol Gulden win it which is why the Brownlow is a stupid medal. How did Neale get 2 votes in round 2 which lead to him winning the Brownlow by 2 votes? This is just 1 example and I am glad people agree with me. Turns out the Umpires are blind in many ways.

I'm reading now about that game. Rd 14: "Perhaps the most surprising three-vote game came via Jason Horne-Francis in round 14. With 13 disposals at 53.8 per cent efficiency and two clearances, the Port Adelaide midfielder somehow secured maximum Brownlow votes in a win over the Cats. Dan Houston (31 disposals and six clearances) got the nod from the coaches but missed out on Brownlow votes altogether, while Connor Rozee (25 disposals) was also overlooked by the umps" - AFL

Need to change the voting system to something like the NBA mvp. We are no longer in the stone ages, things need to change with the modern times to get the real B&F. Not saying it will be perfect, but I can assure you it will be a hell of a lot better than this shambles of a voting system!!!

[@natemurphy267]

I’m just saying bont shouldn’t of got three votes in the last round Isaac smith had 36 touches and a goal and he had 30 touches no goals so he should of got no votes for that round cos two other players also played better than him

[@HyroAUS]

yea but yall lost

[@natemurphy267]

It shouldn’t be about who lost it should be who played the best

[@HyroAUS]

@@natemurphy267 it's not tho

[@curtis6618]

Let’s be real smith was not best on ground. He was being fed the ball A LOT since it was his last game and missed shot after shot on goal. Stats say one thing, but if you actually watched the game his overall effectiveness wasn’t too great. Bont won the game for the dogs and carried his team on his shoulders like he does every week

We all know Neale didn’t deserve it. The voting should be taken out of the umps hands. Ridiculous some Of the votes

Bont got robbed .. once again

[@JacobisIncognito]

I know, like what the hell did Neal do this whole year? And I’m not a dogs fan.

[@petergeorgeades3082]

That’s alright, everyone already knows how much better bontempelli is than Neale

[@tedsanityy]

​@@JacobisIncognitothe thing is Neale is the only one getting votes for the lions that's why

How do you lose by 70 points and get 3 votes . The voting is a joke . Midfielder medal. Means nothing

[@jamiephillips6036]

I'm a lions supporter but IMO Lachie had a very ordinary year by his standards and certainly was not the best and fairest in the AFL this year

[@ramonecricket5183]

The umpires were so determined to give Daicos the Brownlow that they accidentally gave it to Neal’s instead. There were at least three games when Bontempelli was BOG and only got 2 votes instead of 3 (GWS, Sydney, Essendon) and then in round 23 he and Tim Kelly were by far the two best players on the ground and yet Jamie Cripps got the 3. He should have polled in the mid-thirties. For Petracca it was even more blatant, considering the amount of games where he was BOG or thereabouts and only polled one vote or didn’t poll at all. The umpires didn’t even consider Neale a threat to Daicos, because if they had there’s no doubt Dunkley, Ashcroft and maybe McCluggage would have polled more. At this point Bontempelli and Petracca shouldn’t even come to Brownlow night, because all they are going to see is inferior players walk away with an award that both of them should have already won.

[@Mythsandstorys]

Jamie Cripps kicked 5 and had 20 touches 😜

[@ikrobbiefox8835]

u know the umps do ya? i think neale has competition with naicos theyre both clean posession getters, neale more contested naicos more possesions. important to note that umpires dont get to see anything when they vote, no stats, no outside info nothing. as for bont: against sydney he was bog shouldve had him for 3 and errol 2 however errol was bog for dees game and he got 1. against gws there were multiple players who played well on both sides, many players couldve polled but since the giants won and toby kicked 20 and 5 he gets the 3. against essendon he shouldve gotten 3, 27 and 2 plus 12 clearances shouldve been an easy 3. but this is the brownlow, weird votes happen all the time and as i said the umps dont see the stats they see the game from their vision

[@ramonecricket5183]

And that’s the problem. You look at 20 and 5 and assume that Cripps must have been BOG. Meanwhile I actually watched the game and could see that the influence Kelly and Bontempelli exerted over the game was by far the most.

[@tommyandrewd]

As a kid I was told wrestling was fake, set up and scripted Now as an adult I’ve realised the Brownlow is set up and scripted.

This is like Eurovision but without the singing

[@LoveJokic]

What an absolute farce! Gil coming out during the night saying this is the greatest sport in the world bla bla bla and then the B&F goes to someone not deserving of it gives this sport and it’s dictatorship a reality check. Miles behind other sports out there in the world and how they vote for the best player in the competition. A lot aren’t perfect but still a hell of a lot more fairer than this circus 🤡

[@shadzyalex15]

L brownlow I don't think Lachie Neal is getting it this yr
