    They should have shown the frames where he switches from punching to marking, that was remarkable.

    Yep, a Swans dress!

    As long as he can demonstrate that sort of brilliant decision making more often, then he is going to be such a treat to watch over his career (not that he isn't already wonderful to watch). Fantastic that he won Mark of the Year - thoroughly deserved for a great grab.
    "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."

    I hope someone warned Daisy that interview with Tom will cost her a grand!

    When will they have someone who can annunciate properly reading the votes? Gill the Dill is as bad as the Fat Controller was!

    Why don’t they just rename it the Midfielder Medal .

    Congrats to Tom. Big season

    Congrats to Isaac for Mark of the Year

    Congrats to Nick Smith for breaking the record for the most senior games without a Brownlow vote

    Poor Nick! Although I guess that makes him, out of all the players in history to have never polled a vote and there would be a few, the undisputed best.

    According to his Instagram account Callum was the ‘7th emergency’ to attend the Brownlow!

    Here’s some perspective ... Alf Boniface’s averaged 1.5 Brownlow votes per game through this entire VFL career. Alf played 2 games for Footscray in 1940, polling 3 votes.

    South’s own Neville Forge polled a Brownlow vote in half the games of his VFL career (2 games, 1 vote) in 1962.
