Re: Brownlow 2017 Reply #30 – September 26, 2017, 09:32:10 am Geez last night highlighted just how political has the AFL become? Think Sam Newman had a point!The count should be about showcasing the best players of the year and that alone and in that case could be done comfortably in 90-120 mins but they drag it on and on with all the BS segments in between every round.I used to really enjoy the brownlow but like many things about the AFL these days reckon they have ruined it.

Imagine if Danger hadn't been suspended and was in the lead in the last round only to be pipped at the last second. Then he would have had to affix a nice smile and hand over the medal he almost won ... brutal. Quote Selected Last Edit: September 26, 2017, 10:53:58 am by Mav
