    Fair enough I think. Our main chances - Davey and Sylvia - have not yet reached the heights of those players, both in terms of consistency and playing in a team that wins the lion's share of its games.

    Scully would be worth a $20 flutter at long-shot odds.

    Pendlebury looks the value bet of those listed above.

    Not really that surprising though. How'd we go in the Brownlow last year?

    These things are bloody hard to win. I feel that even if we do have an exceptionally good year we're unlikely to do that well in the Brownlow count anyway. Scully aside - and not at this early stage in his career - I don't think we've got anyone on our list who could line up enough genuinely great games to score the requisite number of votes to win it.

    The likes of Sylvia and Davey in excellent form will lurk around the 12-15 vote mark IMO, which obviously won't cut the mustard.

    If I can get 60's for Jurrah winning the Coleman and 200's for Sylvia winning the Brownlow I might take those bets.

    Sylvia and Davey both polled 10 votes this year, in a team winning less than half their games. When we start winning and if these guys, Sylvia especially, can stay consistent, they will be pushing the 20 mark. Sylvia especially IMO, as he has the ability to play game breaking games.

    I quite like Jimmy Bartel at those prices. If you can win one with Ablett in your team, it surely cant do his chances any harm now that Ablett is gone.

    Scully will be good next year, but brownlow is bloody optimistic.

    We've yet to see him handle a real tag.

    I must confess I like that one. But I'm not sure if I'm thinking with my head or my heart.

    Ahhh stuff it ... I'm happy to go with my heart.

    Sylvia is definitely worth a punt here... He polls well, and as we start winning more games, if he stays fit I will tip him to have a break out season and will go close to taking home the Charlie...currently paying $151 with Sportsbet.com.au

    Dees have definately got a couple of good smokeys!!! I reckon Sylvia and Scully are definately worth a punt for bronwlow, and LJ for Coleman is a ripper... If he stays fit, i have no doubt it could happen... Can anyone tell me the odds for LJ? Or is it too early?

  • Quote

    I think he real "smokie" is Grimes. If his kicking improves and has an injury free year he will be the star of our team and will collect many Brownlow votes.

  • Quote

    I was going to say Grimes too JCB.

    I think he wouldn't be a bad punt. Long odds, but worth it if he comes on home!

    Gippy

    I know I will get laughed at/derided, but I think that Jones will be the one who could really step up in a big way in season 2011. There are few who work as hard as he does, few who show the courage he does, and as his skills improve (it's already been stated that he is training very well and appears to have greatly improved his kicking) combined with those other attributes, he is a good chance to score well. I also believe that he will be a part of the 2011 leadership group.

    i don't think i can wait long enough for the 2011 brownlow...i'm going to have a bet on melbourne to win the nab cup.

    Betfair have a market set. However, its a bit flakey. Market set to 124%

    Your have Backers showing 50's but only $39 available and Layers showing at 65's but only for $9.00 at the time of posting.

    Depends on how you think he is going to go early in the season.

    Consider yourself derided. I'd love to see it happen, but I think Sylvia, Moloney, McKenzie, Trengove and Scully will be the preferred midfielders unless Jonesy really has found a gear or two. Barring injury I think he'll have to sacrifice his attacking game to fulfill roles as his did last year.

    One thing that hurts Jones for mine is that I don't think he's as brilliant at the clearances as most think. The 5 I've listed above seem better at either getting a hand on the ball or laying a tackle. Jones I think is actually more an outside player without the speed and skills (but with a big body and hard as an axe). If he has round a bit of run in the legs I wouldn't be surprised if he played a fair bit on the wing and with success.

    I agree, I also like Selwood's chances a little more now seeing as he doesn't have Gablett taking votes away from him.

    Jurrah could be a good chance for the coleman if only he can string 22 together.

    What are the odds for us making the finals next year?

    See a pattern? Unless you're C.Judd or M.Riccuito your team has to finish top 4 and in fact 8/13 winners or >60% have come from the Grand Finalists.

    Well Sylvia was supposed to be the next Riccuito...

    Anyone know what he's paying for a place?

    I'd say Sylvia has a brownlow in him. He has the kind of game that when he plays well he gets noticed (and has shown he will poll 3 voters). He's the kind of guy that could win it if he put 10 great games together in a season. He can do it, but not next year. If there was a market for the 2012 and 2013 brownlow medals I'd be interested to see what odds Sylvia would be.

    Davey won't win one, but he could easily poll 30-45 votes in the next three seasons (no mean feat if it happens).

    exactly right

    that's why the award is such a joke, there are 3 measly votes for 44 players and the winning side is gauranteed 2, usually 3 of them. Fundamentally ridiculous.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
