Brownlow Winner 2007

The award for best and fairest player in footy, the Brownlow medal, has been awarded to Jimmy Bartel from the Geelong Cats. This is definitely good news for the Cats ahead of their grand final match this weekend.

Bartel won with 29 votes. Gary Ablett who was a fellow teammate and favourite for the medal had 20 points.

The other interesting thing about Brownlow (besides the medal) is the fashion of the player's girlfriend or partner. The night is as important for the partner and/or girlfriend as it is for the player. I guess it is always an interesting one to see what the women wear. The guys will always have a suit on and tie, pretty boring.

Rebecca Twigley made headlines a couple of years ago (2004) when she went to the Brownlow with that red dress dubbed the dress that stopped the nation (left). This year, she took a more conservative look (right).

Bree Hately had one of the most stunning dress for the night.

I would say that the overall fashion for the Brownlow was great. There was a few shocking ones but I think everybody played it safe last night.

Ok, enough of dresses, back to football. The Grand Final will be happening this Saturday 29th September 2007, 2.30pm between the Geelong and Port Adelaide at the MCG. So, stay tuned.
