Correction: Brynne Edelsten's dress is seriously the second worst thing I have ever seen!!! Her head wins the worst thing I have ever seen by a country punt.

Mate I believe that ST was going home to play for Adelaide from the day he was drafted.

My clear memory of that time was similar to TS.

The day TS took a two year deal I knew was not going to stay, family said sit it out for two years and see what develops.

My memeory of ST was that his family wanted him home in Adelaide.

It would not have mattered who drafted him he was going back home sooner or later.

I have never thought of him as a player we lost because I never believed he wanted to be anywhere else but home in Adelaide.

The dees were just a stop alone that journey.

good players rarely leave good clubs.

The MFC didn't try hard enough, or didn't know how.

It was during the Gardner reign.

But his team got smashed every week pretty much, plus Bennell would take a few votes. I reckon GC were better last year than this year so I would expect him to get about the same amount of votes.

Kennedy is still my top tip, tons of possies in a top 4 team, and Goodes had an average year so I think JK will get most of the attention. Under the radar a bit because he's not from a Vic club.

Bennell could not get a kick in a football factory

Oh you mean that Bennell!

Our midfield has been rubbish ever since he left.

Apologies to Jonesy.

Awwwwww........ what about Beamer last year? 19 Chas votes? What could have been if he slimmed down and bought in as Neeld demanded, eh?.......

(awaiting a barrage of abusive posts....)

Sam Mitchell over Thompson and Cotchin for mine.

Kennedy will be on 12 after 4 or 5 games and not poll again till Round 17. Him and Cotchin are the two lay's of the night in my opinion. Beams to beat Swan in Collingwood votes is a decent bet, and I think it'll be a trifecta in some order of Watson, Thompson & Ablett.

Just slapped a fifty on Micthell for the Medal and 10 for the double.

Only because the world is conspiring against me and I hate him so much.

I can't stand the idea that only players from the winning side can win best-on-ground perfrmances. It is an evolution of modern Brownlow voting that would have made players from the past seethe.

Bobby Skilton

Gary Dempsey

Kevin Murray

These blokes were guns and champions and would thrive in any era. They went in, got it, played inside and outside abd were rarely beaten. They are also the reason why the word "fairest" should remain the first word in the trophy, before "best". Modern Brownlow voting is too much about the bestplayer in the winning side, and not about the fairest and best footballer.

Ablett should rock it in, but I am not sure if the umpires will give him enough votes considering how often GC lost.

Sam Mitchell will probably win it

Scott Thompson played four years for Melbourne. Hardly a bloke that was going home the day he got here....

As for the line 'his family wanted him home'... I just don't know what to say to that,

Dead set. I'm having a relapse!

She really needs to spend more on material for her dresses.

She truly puts the ass in Brassy.

The Dodgy Doc is a tripper.

Why couldn't he just find a nice Jewish girl instead ?

His mother would be turning in her tomb.

She'll make Bingle look like Geoffrey Robertson.

A whole TV show dedicated to an orange cleavage.

FFS-I really hope they dont show it during meal times.

yep

Yeah you're probably spot on there, Thompson has had a slightly better year I reckon, but the umps don't like him much, read somewhere he has the highest free kick differential or something along those lines... Still, great year for a 2nd placed team, has a chance

My expectation is that her show won't last three weeks but then again, Big Brother caters for imbeciles and that's still going.

My concern is how on earth did Brynne crack an invite? The only way it could be possible is that the Seven Network is shamelessly cross promoting her forthcoming programme.

Oops, I'm having another relapse. She was on again!

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
