I watched the Swans final home and away game and Errol was on fire. 40+ possessions, a couple of goals - but didn’t get the 3 votes.
For me Neale was consistent - so best, nah. Fairest, perhaps. Consistent, yep.

yeah....more than a few comments on the swans forums along these lines

that's exactly it. Lachie Neale was good to great every week. Got heaps of ball. And thus won votes. I watch every Lions game, did i think he would win it? No. But am i really surprised? Also no.
Dunkly, Cameron, Andrews, 2nd half of the year McCluggage, fuck even Cam Rayner at points all contributed heavily to our season, but polled fuck all. Contested ball beasts win Brownlow votesRemember the first couple of rounds where Jeremy Cameron was the best player in the comp? Stacks of ball, kicking bags. Did he even get a BOG? No, because he's not in the midfield.

He wasn't even in the top 10
whoa hang on. Not top 10? He came 5th in the coaches votes as well.

@mariner4life I’m just glad that I got to watch every Saints game the season this happened
-
@mariner4life Yep but that's a midfielders award as well. He's not in my personal top 10. Which doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.
As a Carlton fan, Cripps in the Brownlow top 10 is absurd. Wasn't even in Carlton's best three this year (Curnow, Weitering, Cerra).

contested ball beast!

The quality of this game is off the charts.
Lesssgoooo Lions

Dumbest 50m penalty

After a couple of days, i am finally over it
As we all saw, just an awesome GF. Both teams hard at it, lots of scoring, every time one team looked to be on top the other side would slam on 2 goals straight away.
I thought the real difference was through the midfield. The little touches just weren't going to hand for Brisbane, they would brush a finger tip, bounce to a Collingwood player, and then they were so clean to move the ball back to dangerous areas.
A lot made of the number of behinds, but the Brisbane defense forced Collingwood in to tough shots. Andrews and Coleman had huge games.
Brisbane up front created less, but better, shots. Bailey was huge. Even Joe Daniher had a day out. Charlie kicked 3. But when we needed to win a clearance, and get the ball forward, our midfield got beat. Lachie Neale didn't do enough. Berry was appalling.
There are a couple of guys on the list that might get moved, Berry being one, Hipwood another (if anyone wants his contract...)
For the Pies, Hill was unreal, what a game. De Goey was class. Mihocek was good. They were good all over the park. When we hit the front with 4 to go i was hopefull more than confident because Collingwood had come back all day. This time it took a few seconds.
Great end to a great season

Collingwood are probably still on the piss and yet trade period is in full swing
The Swans are active. They tried to get Aaron Naughton from the Dogs, which tricked them in to offering him a huge contract. They are expcted to land Brody Grundy. And now rumours they are a good chance of getting Collingwood VC Taylor Adams.
The other big story is that Clayton Oliver could be gettable from Melbourne. That's huge news and teams at the pointy end will throw a lot at him.
In Lions news we kept Dev Robertson after West Coast threw a contract at him. And Crows defender Tom Doedee has nominated us as his intended trade destination.

@mariner4life i have been invited to at least 3 swans trade group chats, some decent names loating about, the war chest built on Buddys salary might be quite the size
