So… There has been a case of rigged B&F votes in the Gipsland Footy League.
Re:
A COUNTRY footy champ has been rubbed out for five years after a sting discovered he was rigging the votes in a best-and-fairest count.

Immediately I began to think in my head of players who were surprise winners in the VFL/AFL’s covetted Brownlow Medal.
Brian Wilson, Shane Woewodin, Poor ol’ Adam Cooney…just to name a few…
Do you think these players may have also rigged the results or were they just surprise winners in our great game’s awards history?
Lend me your thoughts and memories of past AFL BROWNLOW MEDAL results.

Pool old Libba
Poor old Scotty Wynd
Teaser (I think the votes were rigged on the night, once the powers that be saw the suit he was wearing and thought having him winning would make television gold).
And how thugs like Dipper and Diesel can win an award for ‘fairest and best’ is beyond me.

didn’t adam goodes get three votes after racking up a massive 11 touches one game

They gave Goodes the sympathy votes because his date had a moustache.

Wasn’t his date his mother?????

Yes Hoot. I was being politically correct by not mentioning her but Goodes’ moustachio’d date was in fact his dear ol’ mum…

Hi,
Potential Browlow vote rigger is surely Shane No, No No, Woe Woe Woe Woe Woedin.
Shocking player with a shocking name!!

Shane…woe woe…what is he good for?
Absolutely nothing…

Forget Shane Wo Wo Wo Wo what is he good for . The chant this summer has to be Shane Wa Wa Wa Wa Watson what is he good for ? That guy is fair dinkum shit and I reckon he likes the taste of the stuff which is why, with a test average of 24 and test bowling average of 38, 5 complete body breakdowns in 7 years and approaching 30 years of age, the selectors are still picking the bloke on potential. Potential my arse he’s the best deep throater in first class cricket!! Oh sorry we were talking about shit brownlow medalists…I got lost. On pure statistics and performances, Tony Dodemaide was a better cricketer than Shane “linda lovelace” Watson, and that about sums it up.
