Brownlow odds

[Dean3]

Just had a squiz at Centrebet's odds for the Brownlow. Our first players listed are at $1001 - Deledio, Tivendale, Pettifer and a few others. J Bowden is ineligible, of course.

But with probably 8-10 wins, you'd think there would be someone shorter than 1000/1? Wouldn't mind having a few bob on Andrew Raines at $2001.

Co 514 80.0 2.60 537
Fr 477 77.0 2.41 528

VPG = votes per game
F is what each club would have got based on a rule of thumb whereby the winning team gets 3 times as many votes as the losing team (i.e. 4.5 to 1.5 votes per game on average).

Simmonds would have been high up in the betting prior to getting reported as well.

Agree Brissie. He was a real smokey for this year I reckon until his suspension

My favourite gripe.

Why waste your time and money on speculating or betting on Richmond's Brownlow hopes?

We are the team with the fewest Brownlow Medal winners (based on AFL/VFL history). We have the longest winner drought (Ian Stewart 1971). We have had media red hot favourites fail to win (Bartlett in 74, Campbell in 95). We have had Jack Dyer Medallists fail to get a single vote (G. Raines in 80 and J. Bowden in 05). We have had some of the finest, fairest and best players in history miss out (Merv Keane, Matthew Knights).

Why - because UMPIRES CAST THE VOTES.

Essendon & Carlton will be the only 2 teams to poll less votes than us!

Bummers case is cut and dry, Umpires love children Hird and Lloyd have been missing for most of the year

Any idea off the top of your head who's had the most winners?
Is it the Swans?

I think Swans have though Doggies have had a few as well but when you count Skiltons three that helps, will look tonight if nobody does not already know.

Cheers CMT.
A coincidence that their jumpers are predominantly white?

 

[Chiang Mai Tiger]

No mate its not. Remember umpires were that pimply weenie dickweed who always got excluded and beat up at school playtime, therefore a deep psychological psychosis pervade their every action and thought. White is good and black is bad.
