As another season rolls around, so too does the opportunity for one player to eclipse the rest of the competition, and be recognised alongside a bevy of esteemed legends of the game by winning the AFL’s highest individual honour; the Brownlow Medal.
Last year saw Jobe Watson become the 64th player to win the game’s most prestigious award, thereby cementing his place in footballing folklore after a stellar season. But it didn’t come without solid competition.
Richmond maestro Trent Cotchin charged home with a hot run of form in the latter part of the season, only to finish runner-up alongside Sam Mitchell, who surprised many by how close he came to claiming ‘Charlie’. It was little surprise, however, that Ablett looked to be in the running throughout the entire season, only to come up short of snatching his second Brownlow from Watson’s grasp.
Whilst we're back for 2013, Brownlow Talk will be taking on a new venture; joining forces with the fastly growing AFL news site Bound for Glory News.
Even though we will have a new location for our weekly posts, it promises to provide greater analysis and deeper insight into all things Brownlow!
The first instalment of our analysis has been posted today for Round 1 on Bound for Glory News, and can be found here: http://boundforglorynews.com/brownlow-talk-round-one-review/
From here on in, subsequent articles throughout the season will be posted every Wednesday following the conclusion of each round.
Thanks for your continued support, and hope to see you make the jump across to Bound for Glory News with me, and check out my work throughout Season 2013.
Cheers!
