I propose a contest, which I'll keep track of throughout the season, where demonlanders cast their 3-2-1 Brownlow votes for Melbourne games after each round. Once the count is made at the end of the season, points will be awarded according to the following criteria: 

3 points for predicting a player with the correct number of actual votes polled.

1 point for predicting a player with the wrong number of votes.

10 point bonus for predicting the correct votes for a round in order.

 

I'll get the ball rolling with my first rd predictions 

3 - J. Viney, 2 - Boooooooo (sorry for my earlier indescretion Daisycutter), 1 - J. Watts

 

Edit: To make it interesting, I'll donate a prize of a Demonland T-shirt for the competition winner. Good luck!!

Just do the exact opposite of what your instincts tell you, like George Costanza in the episode where he lands the job with the NY Yankees.

Thread update: I'm putting up a prize for the winner (Demonland t-shirt) at season's end (see opening post for rules)

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
