Matthews never deserved a Brownlow, it is awarded to the best and fairest, not the best and thugiest :evil:


Harvey has had a great carreer, well done, awesome player.

Legend of the game, really enjoyed watchin him run himself into the ground and look absolutley buggered, only to get the ball at the next contest and run away with it.

useless fact: Robert Harvey started playing when I was in year 8, & he's the last of the footballers to have played in 1988!
uf2: quite a few players have started & ended a career, before Robert ended his!

Brilliant footballer, probably in the top 5 midfields of all time....in how Brownlow years you simply could not tackle the bloke, the best side step in the game...

Not only a future Hall of Famer but a future Legend of the game...

Exactly right. Brownlows are all very nice, but if you don't win one who cares?
