Who's the last ruckman to win a brownlow and can dean cox win it this year?

Question

Last ruckman to win, can dean cox do it for all big guys out their.

Answer 1

I'd say it would have been Adam Goodes in the 3 way tie a few years ago. I'm not sure if he was playing in the ruck that year though. Going back to 1991 and 1992 Scott Wynd and Jim Stynes won it, 2 in a row for the big men.

But yes I think Big Cox can win it this year, he's the best ruckman in the comp and he plays as an extra midfeilder when the ball hits the deck.

Answer 2

I would like to think any one who was good enough could win it so I would have to give dean a chance, he is one top player

Answer 3

Would you call Adam Goodes a ruckman?  He does contest sometimes.  Specialist ruck ... good question.  Tuck (but he was a bit the same as Goodes)

Cox has got some pretty stiff competition this year.  I reckon a Bulldog may get it again.

Answer 4

Scott Wynd of Footscray was the last ruckman to win the Brownlow in 1992.

I don't think Cox will win it because the Eagles will not win enough games.

Answer 5

Technically Goodes was the last ruckman to win the Brownlow.  I still think a ruckman could win as long as he was an athletic ruckman. (in the goodes mould).

I think the quicker and more agile Ruckman still have a chance at a brownlow, but while midfielders are racking up 35 - 45 possesions a game they are the ones who the umpires see more of the time.

Answer 6

Tony Libatore was the last tall ruckman to win the Brownlow Medal.

Dean Cox can't win it this year......today he is hobbling around on crutches.

Answer 7

Last one was Scott Wynd for the Dogs.

Just saw on the news here in WA, Big Coxy has injured his foot & might miss a few weeks, could hurt his chances at bringin home Charlie.

Answer 8

No a ruckman can no longer win a browlow - neither can a forward or a back. The medal is officially awarded to best player but is unofficially awarded to the best midfielder. Cox cannot win but a smokey from the midfield could pull it off.

Answer 9

Scott Wynde as others have said was the last ruckman to win the BM.

Dean Cox is hobbling about on one leg & is having scans today to see if he has a broken foot. If, as expected, he will be out for at least 4-5 weeks.
