Swanny from left field!

Didn't see him winning it this year, thought Pendles had it but suppose after the hype of last year the umpires noticed him a little bit more in the voting. Either that or Eddie cashed them up.

Will it affect his performance on Saturday? He always looks like a rabbit in headlights...

Nah I doubt it will affect him at all.

As you know do not support the Pies but it would not surprise to see Swan complete the Brownlow - Norm Smith Medal Double.

The umps felt sorry for him last year, you know how he got like 0 votes, so this year they were kinder to him. Same will happen to Goodes next year maybe if the Swans stay in the eight.

Not saying he ain't a great player, he's awesome. Should've won last year too, the umps just made sure of it this year ;)

Pendles will get Norm Smith.
Unless Cats win, then I reckon James Kelly.

If you had told me 5 years ago that Dane Swan would now be a 3 time best and fairest winner, a 3 time All-Australian, a Premiership Player, an AFL MVP and a Brownlow Medallist... I'd probably have told you to stop being a tool and that Dane was lucky to be in our best 28.

..... Well done Swanny. Workrate is outstanding, and thoroughly deserved!

20 disposals... had no affect on the game at all.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc....

The Brownlow didn't cause Swan's poor game, Ling did.

Sorry but despite Lings performance, i think Swan was below his brownlow par.

Swan has managed to beat the pink pig tag the last number of times they've played.

Every other pie star performed moderately well today except him.

Swan did better than Blair and Didak. I'm glad Collingwood lost.

I would've thrown the remote at the TV seeing Didak's smug face on the podium. Did bugger all season. Admittedly he has been injured etc.

Swanny from left field!
