And that -31 votes is exactly the total of the last two years. Interesting. I think it possibly reflects the evenness of our team. Unlike other teams we often don't have a standout player on the night.
Theres definitely some truth in that. For example, when we played Freo last year, both Fyfe and neale were in the top 3 Brownlow night and I had no issue with it. I thought they were excellent, just the rest of the team was awful, we had a complete team performance that day.
Brisbane this year I just can't fathom, whilst we won by 5 goals the domination in that game was more akin to an 8-10 goal win and I felt the 3 most influential players on the field were Dusty, Vlastuin and prestia. I didn't think any of the Lions were particularly influential.
