I've been passionate about sport and writing for some time, it is only recently that I decided to combine the two.

Ah yes Mick…why do I always forget him? Always the workhorse for the Docker…yes, he could be a smokey. Maybe doen;t do enough of the spectacular though. Not a criticism, I think he’s brilliant.

We’ve had the fashion parade and now Missy Higgins and Mark Seymour are performing the “Throw Your Arms Around Me” to kick things off. Never been much of a Hunter and Collector’s fan to be honest.

Hi Everyone and welcome to our coverage of the 2013 Brownlow Medal count. Gary Ablett has been the favourite for most of the season and many pundits still have him finishing on top tonight. Joel Selwood and Sam Mitchell are tipped to finish behind him.
There is always the chance of a surprise for the Charlie however, with the umpires sometimes having a different view of the game to the punters. We’ll]have to wait and see if anyone jumps out to an early lead and if they can maintain it coming home.
2013 Brownlow Medal: Live blog, updates
Wouldn’t be many Eagles in with a shot…I’d have to say Nat Fyfe. Paul Duffield and David Mundy have also had good seasons, not sure if they’ve played every game though. A lot of Dockers have missed games through injury.

If they do sack him, we’ll have him at West Coast!
Freo well placed to claim premiership glory
Yeah couldn’t fathom that one myself. Surely in the best group of midfielders in the game. Maybe he was overlooked because he spends so much time forward and back as well?
