Who are MFC's top 10 Brownlow votegetters of all time?

Have a go. They are from the late 40's and upwards so you don't have to include the really ancient Demons.

    I reckon Gary Hardeman would have to be there. The Umps loved him.

    Ivor Warne-Smith won his 2 Brownlows when only 1 vote was given to the B.O.G . He received 8 and 9 votes in those two years . Equivalent to 24 and 27 ? . Fairly sure he polled well in other years .

    Al Nicholson, Matty Warnock, Isaac Weetra, Michael Newton, Shannon Motlop, Ryan Ferguson, Nick Smith, Luke Molan, Simon Godfrey and the obligatory answer of Jack Watts would have to be the top ten from my time.

    From the thread title I thought that dear Mr Dumbitriou was about to make an announcement:

    " the rules committee has decided that this year's medal votes will be determined on a new exciting advanced scientific analysis, made by myself and Mr Anderson, on what would have been the most likely voting on any given day had all potential players been available. Now we must emphasize, before there is any speculation, that this decision was made before the unfortunate injury to this year's favorite, namely 3votes, C Judd, Carltank. "

    Yes, he was right up there! OK, Robbie Flower was 1st with 150 votes. Who do people think came next? It wasn't Ron Barassi.

    Good try! A little more research required. Love your wit.

    I guess we have all forgotten what at least I see as the most bizzare draft selections of all time; I can't remember if it was late Balme or early um, et, umm Daniher ...... that is of course the Cockatoo-Colin's twins, a pair of galahs if you ever saw them ( which was pretty rarely). Does anyone remember who was the recruiting manager at the time?

    Greg Wells had a lot of votes over time

    Well done 'Bimbo', Wells was second with 130 votes. Anyone want to guess who was next?

    Peter Moore?

    Peter Moore is correct! Next player on the list has already been named, Gary Hardeman. 6th was a speedy winger.

    Bluey Adams or Stan Alves

    • 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.
