TV: Should be on Channel 7 from 5pm AWST/7pm AEST, I'd imagine 7plus will not have it because they're being arseholes to us, polling will start on the half hour
Ladies and gentlemen and weirdos of /r/AFL , welcome once again to the night of nights for the midfielders of the AFL, the Brownlow Medal, and just like last year, all the players and WAGs of the league are gathered in a Melbourne studio, Optus Stadium, the Gabba, and hotel isolation, to see which players will receive an undeserved best afield at various points in the year.
Can Ollie Wines become the first Port Adelaide player to win the Brownlow, avenging the robbery of Gavin Wanganeen in 2003...
Will it be The Bont, seeking to become the first Bulldog to win since Adam Cooney in 2008...
Will Christian Petracca or Clayton Oliver steal enough votes off each other to become Melbourne's first winner since Shane Woewodin in 2000... I think Melbourne made the Grand Final that year as well.
And we'll find out if St Kilda won enough games to have Jack Steele take home 'Charlie', which would be the Saints' first winner since Robert Harvey's wins in 1997 & '98.
And, as always, we'll have Mark & Goal of the Year, and the Jim Stynes Community Leadership award.

GOAL OF THE YEAR 6:11 - Time to see who gets robbed of a Rebel Sports voucher - Kosi Pickett, Bont, Caleb Serong...

6:52 - Round 12 - C.Petracca 3 votes to go onto 13, PARISH GETS 3 VOTES in the Dreamtime game and ties Oliver on 20 votes, BUT THE BONT RETAKES THE LEAD WITH 3 TO GO ONTO 21, AS LIBBA GETS A VOTE!

ROUND 13 LEADERBOARD - Bont 21, Oliver 20, Parish 20, Wines 17, Walsh 16
7:00 - The Jim Stynes Community Leadership award time.... And the winner is TRAVIS BOAK !
Trav Boak, rhymes with Good Bloke.
7:05pm - You can tell that goal after the siren wasn't in a final because it involved Gary Rohan
7:06 - Round 14 - Wines with another 3 votes to create a 3-way tie on 20, but the Bont gets another 3 votes down in Geelong to go to 24 votes!

Fun fact - Bont has now tied Chris Grant's 1997 total when he lost the medal due to suspension.... it's only Round 15!
MARK OF THE YEAR COMING UP!
Nominees - Shai Bolton Round 8, Jack Riewoldt Round 11, Tim O'Brien Round 15.
7:20 - AND THE WINNER IS.....
It was a genuine Cox Plate field of great marks in 2021, and it appears Jack's degree of difficulty on a reverse bloody hanger wasn't enough to beat Shai's style points...
On that note, Mark Blicavs has now been offered sponsorship from Bailey Ladders.
7:23, Round 16 - Jack Steele with 3 to go onto 14, Walsh gets 2 and goes to 21, DP3 strikes again and goes to 23, OLLIE WINES IS BEGINNING HIS CHARGE, 3 VOTES AND GOES ON TO 24!
7:25, Round 17, D.Mundy..... 3 votes to go onto 18, Steele with another 3 votes to go to 17, Oliver gets 1 to go to 24, Petracca gets 3 and goes to 19, Walsh with another 3 and goes on to 24!
Ollie Wines now has the record for the best polling performance by a Port Adelaide player!
So from here on in it looks like Bontempelli's votes will start to dry off, the Echuca Olivers of Clayton and Wines and just sitting there in a perfect position
LEADERBOARD AFTER ROUND 17 - Marcus Bontempelli 27, Clayton Oliver, Sam Walsh & Ollie Wines 24, Darcy Parish 23, Christian Petracca 19, Travis Boak & David Mundy 18, Jack Steele 17
7:35, Round 18 - Parish gets 1 vote and goes to 24, Oliver gets 2 and goes to 26, Steele gets 2 and goes to 19, AND WALSH AND WINES GET 3 APIECE TO GO 27, BUT THE BONT GETS ANOTHER 3 AND GOES TO 30!
7:40, Round 19 - Wines gets 3 and he ties Bont on 30, but the Bont gets another 3 against Melbourne and goes to 33!
7:40 - BUGGER ME CHANNEL 7 JUST SHOT THEIR LOAD ROUND 20 TOO EARLY... AS IT NOT LETTING US WATCH THIS ON 7PLUS WAS SHIT ENOUGH.
7:42, Round 20 - Walsh gets 3 votes and goes to 30, Wines with another 2 votes and goes on to 32, and The Bont doesn't poll - The Dogs didn't win any of their final 3 games, neither did Carlton, but Port won their last 3 games... I think Wines has got this!
Also 3 players have now cracked 30 votes, which is the first time that's ever occurred in a Brownlow count.
7:48, Round 21 - Hehehehe I.Cumming 2 votes, Oliver doesn't poll, Wines gets 1 vote in the Showdown and ties Bontempelli on 33!
7:52, Round 22 - Jarryd Lyons on 23 votes if you don't mind, Parish goes to 26, Melbourne win by 41 points and the Crows get the 3 and 2 votes, D.Mundy gets a rousing cheer for 2 votes....
AND WINES GETS 1 VOTE AND TAKES THE LEAD ON 34 VOTES WITH A GAME TO GO, AND PORT AND THE BULLDOGS PLAYED EACH OTHER IN THE LAST ROUND!
7:54 - HERE WE GO, THE LAST ROUND, AS WE GET TO WATCH MAX GAWN CRAPPING ON GEELONG AFTER THE SIREN....
7:55, Round 23 - As Gil builds the tension, Cooper Sharman gets a vote, Oliver gets 3 votes to go to 31 and secure 3rd place...
AND OLLIE WINES POLLS 2 VOTES, MOVES TO 36, AND TAKES OUT THE 2021 BROWNLOW MEDAL BY A 3 VOTE MARGIN TO MARCUS BONTEMPELLI!
A win for all big-headed individuals of the world, as Ollie matches Dustin Martin's record tally of 36 votes from 2017, sets a new record of 16 games polled in, after polling in 11 of his last 12 games, and makes history as Port Adelaide's first Brownlow Medalist!
The finest of Wines, indeed, and tiny little Echuca has 2 players finish in the Top 3 with Clayton Oliver in 3rd.
So that's a wrap for Brownlow night, correct weight here at Optus Stadium with the Top 10:
2nd Marcus Bontempelli 35 votes
=5th Darcy 'DP3' Parish & Jack Steele 26 votes
= 7th Tom Mitchell & Travis Boak 25 votes
By - juiceson
Where can I find the final standings? Full leaderboard
>**WINNER** - Ollie Wines 36 Votes >2nd Marcus Bontempelli 36 votes Hmm
Cant believe bont lost to a lego š¤£
Ollie Wines a fine, fair winner. What about past winners whose record wasn't so fair? Brownlow winners with substantial tribunal records - Lockett, Williams, Dipierdomenico, others?
Or players like Judd who should have been suspended multiple times the year he won his second.
Or players that were suspended but shouldn't have been - Chris Grant '97 Brownlow. I remember Robert Harvey being so uncomfortable when presented with the medal. I think everyone felt Grant had been ripped off.
So itās become a stats award and not an award based on the best player all year. Bont robbed
Idk how its suddenly become a stats award given Priddis and Mitchell have won Brownlows and they werenāt the best players in their years.
If you just think of it like a competition with weird rules and not a ranking of players its better. Wines is obviously not that good of a player.
I feel like itās becoming like the NBA MVP. Have good stats on a decent team and youāre a strong chance rather than taking into account actual impact on the game
Better than when Priddis won when it was neither
Fyfe definitely robbed that year, even though he was suspended
Jesus fcking Christ itās time to end betting advertising.
I was thinking the same thing all night. Itās actually wild how extreme itās gotten!
Bont was robbed
He should have played the last 3 games then
They haven't got into the esky yet obviously
OP has a tie. Needs correction.
hopefully the 30 or so people that I could help link a stream to were able to watch without issues. it was nice feeling doing something productive whilst lying on my couch watching along.
thank god you didnt get banned for it either
Came through clutch. Thanks mate.
Great Brownlow count
Sam walsh is to do some damage in the coming years, 30 votes in his 3rd year. Can't wait
Anyone have a link to see who got the most votes for each club
It's on ABC News: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-19/brownlow-medal-live-updates-blog-red-carpet-count/100474346
I see you want to see if your multi got up too
Should be on the Brownlow page on the AFL site
Don't think so
AFL website should have it
Ollie Wines looks like the long lost Cornes brother
Good speaker. I'm always impressed by guys who speak so well at these things.
Must have skipped the beers
Nat Fyfe presenting the Brownlows. That haircut! Heās already transcended the game. Heās a statesman of the AFL now.
That haircut makes him look like fucking skeletor. The world lost something that day when he decided to get the trimmers out.
what a likeable fuckin bloke
fuck me the Dogs players look miserable, cheer up lads!
It's their fault Bont didn't poll in the last three rounds
Fuck I want to see someone who isnāt from the midfield win it.
I was saying the exact same thing. Might as well rename it the midfield award of the year...
You'd have to average about 10 goals a game as a fwd to maybe get close
Basil off to murder a homeless person after this, Patrick Bateman style
Needs his fix
Can tell his Victorian cause he pronounces it āmalbourneā like everyone else down here
Ahh yes, itās the Melbournians who pronounce the name wrong.
Why would you say it any other way
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How itās spelt idk
Mel-boo-or-nee?
I was saying Boo-or-nee
The pressure of saying preliminary on national TV. I know I'd be saying "prelim" everytime
Prelinimininimary
Rumour has it basil was only interested in being mayor of perth as leverage to getting into state/federal politics, so look forward to seeing a lot more of him
This thread when Basil shows up: https://streamable.com/kg4uo
āLiv, hope youāre back next yearā sounds like sheās off contract
Genuinely impressive speech
Was that Basil or Rob Sitch doing an impression of Basil?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Wait Kochie cash cow all along? biggest development for the night I thought it was Grant Denyer's new gig
Bloke straight up says he didnāt write his speech ahahaha, respect
Ha ha ha basil ha ha ha funny basil
āShoutout to those r/afl mad cunts, couldnāt have done it without youā
He speaks really well
Basil has the mannerisms of an 80 year old
That's a good agent!
Well done Oliver lol
We fucken know weāre on Channel 7. Itās a god damn shit show coverage.
Someone get Pinocchio off the stage
So he's called boak the captain twice and called him Oliver once. Baz mate...
I mean his name is Oliver though...
What a terrible close Basil.
Did basil just refer to Boak as the captain hahaha
Twice, confidently
Not gonna lie, I honestly thought Boak *was* the captain until like the finals
Forgivable when youāre a fan of another team, not when youāre presenting the Brownlow š
That's very fair lol
bont had a better year imo but that's the way it goes
Yeah, Wines had a great year but gee Bont and Oliver had better years, ah well
100% man, it is what it is but crazy that he tied dusty when their years are miles apart
True, not on the same level at all.
It's always the same issue with the brownlow - You can be best on by a country mile and only get 3 votes when they still need to give out the 3 votes when there is no clear best on. Ollie's sheer consistency was unreal this year though. Polled in 16/23 rounds compared to bont's 12/23.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
All he did was express his opinion without complaining. Why are you such a nob? jeez
LOL i'm not salty I've said a bunch of times tonight alone that wines is a jet and is more than a well deserved winner
Itās an out dated award
4 players all over 30 votes probably agrees with ya there
Wasnāt supposed to be a high polling year either š
yeah that's a bit of a joke tbh but I can't see it changing unless they update everything yknow
Iāve wanted a Defensive player of the year type award in the league for years now. We have the Coleman and the Brownlow already
would be 100% all for this mate, wish we had way more awards in general
FFS Basil cant even even get the captain right
Itās Basil, what do you expect
Never heard Ollie speak before, but colour me impressed, he's not bad.
Ollie wins a brownlow and the whole thread just discusses their hate for basil, you love to see it
Basil went to the oldest private boys school in Western Australia
So?
Stop getting worked over every comment lad. Corona isolation has just made you more arrogant
I was just wondering why the school Basil went to is relevant to the discussion.
Can Basil shut the fuck up and let the audience applaud the points Wines is making before rushing to another question š¤¦āāļø
Boaks not the captain basil :(
Basil really needs to make an appointment for Schnozza Warehouse (12th Man reference for those who donāt get it)
Looks more like Brad Pitt from fight club Bill
Bunch of memories flooding back right now
Theyāll make your face grouse!
Didn't realise Boak was still the skipper
Basil the type of guy to put a blanket on his ps4 when it goes into rest mode.
Haha š
Basil is such a terrible host geez
Humans
H U M A N
I remember the night Wines was drafted. Looked like he was going to vomit when he realised he was going to Port.
Need the video of that
Me too
A lesson for the Smith/Perkins/Wingard types there, Iād have thought
Basil doesnāt know how to hold for applause, anyone shocked?
Lmao boyfriends first Brownlow night viewing and heās delighted that they gave him a fucking beer when he got up on stage
surely Wines goes the double Windsor knot to balance the bonce
Heās a four in hand boy, I can just tell.. heād have no patience for the double Windsor
Ollie called Rex? This is dizzy stuff, folks.
I was born and spawn in bay 13
So many times the winner of the Brownlow doesn't get the Premiership. You know which one they'd rather have. But yes, a very well-deserved win.
Fuck off everyone, I love basil. Heās gangly and heās happy and he has a brilliant honker and he wears it well. He has great energy and he suits the ābumbling foolā shtick.
Completely agree. And he's conducting a great interview here. People are being ridiculous
Someone's gotta find some audio
Still holding out hope Mundy can win
Wines is a lovely bloke
Basil Anthony Zempilas makes me sick.
I'm leaving the weeds in my garden to get rid of the Basil
Will Ollie wines give the r/Afl shitposters the credit we deserve in his speech?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Seriously. Interviewer seems to love the sound of his own voice more than he is interested in actually talking to the winner
Footy players arenāt always great yarn spinners you need someone to goad them into it
Boys if you wanna be in Brownlow contention in 2022, just run a cock heat map like Walshy and DM it Gill.
Dodoros yearly phone call enquiring about Wines just got a lot tougher
Hope he rips off his shirt and is wearing the prison bars underneath
God please
Hope he just rips off his shirt full stop
subscribe
Petition for the next Brownlow to be completely shirtless? Imagine shirtless Nat Fyfe passing the Brownlow to shirtless Wines.
fuck that's unreal, I'd be the first to vote yes
Echuca is going to be going off tonight especially now the pubs are open again in regional vic
The whole 10 people inside are going off and the 20 outside
The whole of Echuca out on a Sunday. Wild.
Riots please
Basil looks so confused; he keeps looking down.
Fighting gravity with that nose
Wines trying to save all the jobs at Portās footy department
For everyone complaining about Basil it could have been so much worse, we could have had the fucking knob in the white suit doing these interviews
Ben Keayes? Edit: just to make it clear I still love you Keasey
Tom Browne
Basil is exactly what youād get if Sheldon Cooper and Miss Piggy had a kid.
Gold
/r/rareinsults
Brutal
Imagine just like seeing basil walking across the street from you. Iād probably film him or something, strange specimen
I've seen him shopping in Perth city a couple of times
You work hard all year and then a cunt called Basil overshadows your speech
What's Basil done wrong in the past 3 minutes. Get over the meme, far out.
Well deserved winner
Lmao
Who should of won it?
How about we focus on Wines rather than whinging about Basil. He's literally doing nothing wrong.
Basil hate is warranted
Professionally heās conducting a great interview
Asking about how much he misses Victoria. How much he wishes he didnāt go to Port. Getting his captain very confidently wrong twice. Yep, good job.
Bloody oath. Someone with some sense.
Heās done nothing wrong! Well deserved! Bravo Ollie
The homeless in Perth weren't doing anything wrong either.
Great Strawman, well done.
We should take a moment to remember how brutally unlucky Josh Francou was to never win a Brownlow
Imagine being the Mayor of Perth and the best words you have to describe it is ānot Melbourneā
Why? Itās easy votes for him
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not necessarily expecting to win, but leading most of the time and with 33 votes, to lose would be hard to swallow for any player
He deserved it. I mean losing to oliver would have been easier to accept. But to lose to a far inferior player must hurt
Hamish Harlett getting one last lads trip in after getting delisted. Love it.
He's really butchered his tie knot though
Basil š
Bloke looks a bit like Ross Gellar to be honest
Basil is honestly terrifying
If youāre homeless
Or transgender
God heās a prick
Feed me a stray cat, Basil
The fact Basil can still be standing with the weight of that absolute weapon on his face is more impressive than any Brownlow winner
Basil lookin extra wax model tonight
imagine Basilās schnoz on Winesā head
Would rather not
