Brownlow Medal Player Review

Round 4 Kangaroos v Collingwood

The tempo of the AFL has lifted as various teams remove the flooding shackles and, as a result, the recent games have been great to watch. Makes you want to be in Melbourne to watch the ANZAC day game live! There were a lot of hard working footballers in this game and many left their mark. To me it was hard to go pass the sheer brilliance of Daniel Wells. His control of the ball (and his body) was mesmerising and, at times, pivotal in keeping the Kangaroos in the game. He must have surely scored some Brownlow votes - I predict at least two. The top vote was harder to give - but reluctantly I would have to hand it over to Shannon Grant who seemed to be everywhere at the right time. Very closely followed behind him was Scott Burns who started slowly, but then racked up possessions, many contested, to get Collingwood back in the game. Glenn Archer may also have had an impact on the votes, particularly for his first half performance.
