Question

Is there any possibility that Matthew Richardson will win the Brownlow Medal in 2008?

Answer 1

No, I don't think so, too many big names up there this year.

Ablett, Black, Cooney, Akermanis, Thompson, Kirk

Richo could finish top 5. Wouldn't expect much more though. I'd be disappointed to finish outside the 10

Answer 2

He will get more votes this year than he has in past years as he's playing more up the ground and involved in the play more not just in the forward 50.

Can he win the Brownlow, that would depend on how many games the club wins and if other favourites get injured. The Brownlow usually goes to a player whos team has a lot of wins ..... usually a team in the top 6.

Look to him to poll well, and who who know's 1 in 6 aren't bad odds

Answer 3

Yes Richo is the best

But richmond need to win more games

Answer 4

Only because all the good players have been ruled out, like Buddy and Sam Mitchell.

Answer 5

I suppose there is a possibility... But I really don't see it happening unless at least Cooney and Ablett either get suspended, or severely injured. They're both on fire, and don't seem to show any signs of slowing down.

Answer 6

i hope so, i dont want Ablett to get it.

Answer 7

The TAB says 1 in 6 chance.

With players like Sam Mitchell, Robert Murphy, Buddy Franklin, Daniel Kerr all being rubbed out then there defenitly is a chance.

He has been the best player in his team thus far BUT his team isn't winning a lot of games meaning he wont ge too many 3 votes.

Answer 8

There is more of a possibility now that so many players are ineligible. But I'd have to say I think Gary Ablett will win it, Richo will grab some votes though.

Answer 9

Yes there is every possibility, he is in good form on a regular basis, but its up to the UMPIRES !  Football is big business, all the interstste teams have won flags except Freo,   The AFL creamed Carlton because of Elliott, now they have returned them  to there ignorant BEST, with multiple NO 1 . draft picks, and admitted an umpire sparked their fight back, with a WRONG free against the Pies.  Who knows who the the AFL want this year to win the  Brownlow,  or the Flag . Maybe its Richo Brownlow, and Doggies turn for the flag , considering its along time since 1954.   Collingwood put more BUMS on seats on a regular week to week basis,  and thats all the AFL consider them as BUMS ! ...think about it !    ..... The AFL don't want Collingwood on the bottom , they want them to fill the G on a regular basis, for all other Clubs to play.   The Pies finish 5,6.7,8 and regularly get no's 78910 draft picks, but still perform to fill Grounds for the AFL, who never send them to play at Geelong, Canberra, or Tassy, funny that.!  As for your question again , yep maybe Richo for the Brownlow, as a reward because  the AFL know , he WON"T get to play in a Premiership team!

Answer 10

He should be up there, but truthfully, i get the feeling that the umpires wont give him the votes because he questions their decisions so much.

Answer 11

i wish. too bad ablett hasn't been suspended....

Answer 12

It is definatley a possibility. However his team is not winning that many games and he is in the later part of his career, so it may be a question of if his body can hold up for the rest of the season and continue his good form. Personally I believe the Cooney will win.

Answer 13

not a chance lol, personally i think hes a bit of a sook, the last richmond game i went to which was last season i noticed how many times he falls down and how many times he gets tackeld and tries to whindall a free kick from it... i havent really been watching him this season as i never really found him to be that good... you cant even compare him to people like Buddy Franklin or Jonathen Brown.

Answer 14

Hope so eddo, i got on him weeks ago at 23-1 for the win and 6.50 for the top 3 (place),  had a little go at it,  i know he gets votes, always does,  he normally gets 3's too, funny that,  like last year, how bad we were but he still managed a double digit finish i think.

Richo Richo man,  I want to be a Richo man.

Hope the *** fella can stay fit enough to keep producig the good, he had 18 marks again on sunday,  been my fave for years, people are only realizing now how good he is, but has been this way for years at tigerland, we love him, those tiger fans that bag him can jam it up their sh it shoot.

Answer 15

He will win if Gablett and Cooney have season ending injuries right now but if not, no chance.

Answer 16

NO WAY. Abblet for sure

Answer 17

My goodness, I didn't realise the AFL was just one big conspiracy......

With the amount of players no longer in contention, Richo may end up up there somewhere. Win it though? I would doubt it.
