Grand Final Television Viewers According to the AFL, there were 170 million viewers from 72 countries — with Australians only making up about 3.6 million of the total. 2. Brownlow Medalists to Play in a Premiership Team That Year Quite correct boys regarding Judd and Cousins. Judd won it in 2004 and Port were premiers (WCE finished 8th). And Cousins took Charlie home (not in a small plastic bag) in 2005 when Sydney was victorious (WCE runners up). Those players to have won the Brownlow in a Premiership Year: - 2002 Simon Black - 2001 Jason Akermanis - 1993 Gavin Wanganeen - 1986 Robert Dipierdomenico - 1966 Ian Stewart - 1951 Bernie Smith (Geel) - 1947 Bert Deacon (Carl) - 1930 Harry Collier (awarded retrospectively Coll) - 1929 Albert Collier (Coll) So you are right, it hasn't happened that often - particularly in the last 20 or so years. Interesting to see Akermanis (not normally one to be handing out unwanted advice) dishing a bit up for Jimmy this week. That is all Arma Answers to the “I’m Not Sure” file for this week:

1. Grand Final Television Viewers
According to the AFL, there were 170 million viewers from 72 countries — with Australians only making up about 3.6 million of the total.

2. Brownlow Medalists to Play in a Premiership Team That Year
Quite correct boys regarding Judd and Cousins. Judd won it in 2004 and Port were premiers (WCE finished 8th). And Cousins took Charlie home (not in a small plastic bag) in 2005 when Sydney was victorious (WCE runners up).

Those players to have won the Brownlow in a Premiership Year:
- 2002 Simon Black
- 2001 Jason Akermanis
- 1993 Gavin Wanganeen
- 1986 Robert Dipierdomenico
- 1966 Ian Stewart
- 1951 Bernie Smith (Geel)
- 1947 Bert Deacon (Carl)
- 1930 Harry Collier (awarded retrospectively Coll)
- 1929 Albert Collier (Coll)

So you are right, it hasn’t happened that often - particularly in the last 20 or so years.

Interesting to see Akermanis (not normally one to be handing out unwanted advice) dishing a bit up for Jimmy this week.

That is all
