Preview 2012 Brownlow Medal: J.Blake Watch

[Zagg]

I put $20 on Blake to poll 1 or more votes at $2.12 last week - come on Jason!

Just checked, JPK to lead after Round 13 is $16 on Sportsbet.

I saw that, remarkable odds!! Hooefully our wallet is little fatter after round 13!

 

[CHBench]

Kosi beating Cotchin.

 

[hayes]

What sort of odds would you have gotten for that?

 

[sauce_head]

Anybidy got a link to live count updates? I accidentally agreed to go out for dinner tonight!

 

[hayes]

Sydney game coming up.

And... bubkus.

 

[saintsrfreak]

Lenny's doing alright

 

[CHBench]

Massive letdown right there. Channel 7 jinxed it for sure.

 

[saintsrfreak]

Blakey got 2 votes!

 

[hayes]

Blakeyyyy.

 

[Tragic sainter]

Thought vlad would read it out with a bit more fanfare!

 

[Ducky Tie]

Onya Blakey.

 

[CHBench]

Well done James.

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

Blakeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Congratulations Blakey!

 

[hayes]

The fat controller butchered it, he should've done the pause.

 

[stkildathunda]

BLAKEY!!!

 

[CHBench]

The fat controller butchered it, he should've done the pause.

Should've also called him Jason too.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Lenny coming fourth.

 

[StFly]

Should've also called him Jason too.

Or Joe.

Jason Joe Blake would have clinched it.

How bad is the announcing. Why rush it just because it is over? Terrible. Why not pre-record and announce it like chimunks?

I, for one, am pleased that Jason polled those two votes. I hated the implication that he was the worst player ever to play 200 matches simply because he hadn't polled a Brownlow vote.
We love our Blakey. He has always been recognised as a dedicated Saint. He has always been counted in the fittest of our players. An awkward height - too tall to have the pace off the mark to make it as a midfielder, too short to be a genuine key position player (let alone a ruckman). His versatility and burning desire to play led him to take on any role asked of him. He is a true survivor. Very pleased for him.

Bit surprised to see Lenny finish with the same amount of votes as Beams and Kennedy

Well done to Blakey. Saints supporters would have never considered him as the worst player to play 200 matches without winning a Brownlow. He can quite rightly hold his head high, as someone who not only played in some of the best Saints teams ever, but as a valuable member of them.

Didn't hurt when he got 3 votes for a 22 possession performance (8 kicks) and 2 frees against (none for)!

Meanwhile Faz completely shuts down Kade Simpson after he was one fire and has 27 possessions - gets doughnuts.

I gave Farren the top votes that week too. Nevertheless I am proud of Lenny finishing in the top ten. Massive effort (even without considering all his medical conditions).
