2010 Brownlow medallist and renowned rascal Dane Swan took over the Twitter account of Sportsbet during the 2018 Brownlow Medal ceremony, much like he has done in previous years.
As always, the results were pretty funny, though this year he had some competition from current Pie Mason Cox.
The big American has developed a reputation for his social media activity lately, overshadowed only by his recent efforts on the field.
So, while red-hot favourite Tom Mitchell roared towards his first honour at Crown, Swan and Cox entertained viewers from their couches.

Here's some of the boys' best efforts:
Nice to see Gil and Laura on the red carpet, wonder if he had to pull any strings to get a babysitter tonight? #Brownlow #Brownlowmedal

Man I really thought 1 touch and a suspension would get me at least one vote in round 1.#coxycomments

Seeing as the Pies can't drink tonight, in their honour, I'll do my best to take up the slack. Got your backs boys. #Brownlow

It's more fun when he calls your name out mate. You probably don't need to worry about that just yet mate. #Brownlow https://t.co/B4iNa6MnYj

After having a cheeky dig at Clayton Oliver last year, Swanny got around the Melbourne young gun this time around.
How on earth did she get HIM!? ROOSTER ALERT! That's a bloke with the swagger of man who's definitely off the mark. #Brownlow pic.twitter.com/yKk5pniYIK

Gaff's suspended!? What did he do? I don't remember it - not sure Brayshaw does either. #Brownlow

Geez, I’d hate to share with Basil 👃 #Brownlow

I'm learning so many players names tonight #coxycomments

Richmond's Jack Higgins was awarded goal of the year for his around the post effort against Collingwood and the young Tiger gave a very excitable speech.
Well that's easy gonna be the best speech of the night. Let's hope he wins a #Brownlow one day.

Cox however wasn't sure the goal should have stood.
Still a throw#coxycomments

F**k! Had gone hard on P.Dutton as vote leader after 10 rounds. #Brownlow

Howe should get Mark of the Year after he was robbed last year. I reckon he gets higher than Sam Murray. #Brownlow

Cox was pretty happy with himself after he picked up maximum votes in the Queen's Birthday clash.
3 votes for the big fella in the Melbourne game. Wow I didn't see that coming...#coxycomments pic.twitter.com/4DgkSc1YH6

While Swan wasn't happy his old mate Dayne Beams was being snubbed by the umpires.
Beamsy had 32 and kicked five against North and didn't get a vote? F**k, you don't have to be dead to be stiff. #Brownlow

Haven't seen Roaming Brian yet... Thank f**k. #Brownlow

Just watching the NAB mini legends commercials. You think we could get Caleb Daniel to play myself next year @NAB #coxycomments

Ok I'm done for the night. It's been fun but I need to rest up for the Super Bowl this weekend. Hoping I see @sidebottom22 wearing the world's smallest medal tomorrow at training. Recall my night by clicking #coxycomments

Gil reading this quick cuz he's gotta get home to relieve the babysitter. He's had a nightmare since his au pair got deported. #Brownlow
— Sportsbet.com.au (@sportsbetcomau) September 24, 2018
It's highly unlikely that Mitchell is the only person leaving with Charlie in their pocket tonight. #Brownlow
