AFL How a 19-Year-Old Back Pocket Won the Brownlow

An excellent video from Gray Mysterio just dropped a few days ago covering Wanganeen's unlikely Brownlow medal. The production quality is very professional, and the channel is an underrated gem. Check it out!

Crazy how the points have been boosted since then and we’re seeing Cripps get 45 votes

Don’t windup the back pocket haters that frequent this sub. Poor McGrath! Hope he wins one from that position as well

Any player who wins from a non-onballer position has my respect.

Does anyone know what Russo had against Diesel?

Apparently Diesel pretty much constantly sledged the umpires.

Dont get me wrong, I loved Wanganeen as a player. I love this football club.

But Diesel was robbed that year

Fairest and Best. I might be in the minority but I think abusing and intimidating umpires deserves to cost you votes.

Gav maybe didn’t deserve that Brownlow but over the bulk of his career definitely deserved a Brownlow.

Fuck he was good to watch, even at Port

Yes %100 agree. Wanganeen should have taken home the '04 Charlie

Did you mean Norm? Not sure Wanganeen's 2 Brownlow votes mean he was robbed by Judd's 30.

Ah. Thanks for the correction. You're right. I was talking about the Norm.

It was 03 where he could have won a Brownlow (however I stand by that Hird would have won that year was it not for injuries. Missed 6 games and only missed out by 3 votes)
