It's the cup I want.
Yes I'm sure that one day he will get a retrospective one.
How lone did Brian Gleeson wait for his Brownlow?

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

Yep. Sure Gram would much rather have the premiership medal than the Norm Smith....but I guess if we give joint Brownlows.....Enrico_Misso wrote:It's the cup I want.

The thing I don't get is... The player with the most 3's wins it.
Well, it took Gram more of the panel to give him votes to get the same score.
Shouldn't the fact that more of the panel voted for him make him the winner?
3 of the 5 thought Chapman was best on, the other 2 didn't think he was in the best 3.
5 of the 5 thought Gram was worth votes (Four 2 votes and One 1 vote) IIRC.

It is hypcritical and plain idiotic for the AFL to have two best and fairest awards one with countback and the other not.
Plain dumb.
You'd think the fat Cypriot is paid enPugh to fix it!
Anyway, give me a flag over a hundred Norm Smith's or Brownlows!

You are on the money there, but it would be a good thing for the AFL to do and in the right spirit. Down the track, it would be nice for the Trophy cabinet for Jason to look back on. It took half a lifetime for Verdun Howell to be given his retrospective Brownlow Medal, which is a tad too late IMO.Hopefully he is more worried about getting fit and having a better year in 2012

Wouldn't that just top it off?

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Yep. Sure would have. IN fact I'd go as far to say that one's importance is not relevent to the other. It's an injustice that should be corrected.bigred wrote:If we had of won the flag would anyone here give a s***?
If Ablett had of won the 08 NS on a count back, you don't reckon hawks ppl would care and want Hodgey awarded with one as well?
I know it make no difference and the flag is all that counts blah blah blah, but GRammy's little spot in history deserves to be acknowledged.
