    The Brownlow is a midfielders award. The only other position that polled well where key forwards in Buddy, Kennedy and Brown.

    Juice spilled some of the easiest marks I've ever seen but at least he could get to the drop of the ball and be in a position to take them.

    i'm yet to see any evidence that weid can read the flight of the ball.

    it get's excused on demonland as bad kicking but I can assure you juice wasn't getting it on a silver platter

    Don't recall Weed's first mark against Hawthorn in his first spell on the ground in his first game when he drifted in from the back of the Hawthorn defenders and took an easy mark ?????? He's read the flight at least once.

    How come Robbie Flower could always get to the drop of the ball and not be pushed out of the way? It is more than a strength issue.

    Different game back then. Not apples with apples.

    The kid needs more than a couple of years and a handful of games.

    I remember Scarlett getting 3-4 votes when he won the BnF for Geelong (pretty sure this is right)

    The Brownlow is a joke. Umpires clearly don't understand the game. Buddy/Carey can't win one but Priddis/Woewodin do?

    Way too much.

    If true, we should look elsewhere.

    Why so concerned with what he may cost? 

    Agree. In 3-4 years at current rates of growth, $900K will be ho-hum.

    Will he be in our best 3 players?

    I don't think so, therefore we shouldn't be paying that kind of money to him.

    Every award is given to midfielders the MVP always goes to a midfielder, the coaches award goes to a midfielder most BF go to midfielders, it's not only the brownlow, I guess all  the coaches  know nothing about football, its the biggest myth if the brownlow  was judged by some other then the umpires you would get more forwards or defender winning it.

    The deal is not done yet:

    "...Michael Warner told On the Couch:...“Five years, $900,000 a season,” he revealed to gasps from panel members Jonathan Brown and Jason Dunstall...The Crows will come after the Grand Final pretty hard and I think they’ve got some more money to offer.”

    TBH, I don't give a lot of credence to anything Warner says/writes.  But I wouldn't be surprised if the Crows open their cheque books for Lever. 

    But Lever seems a genuine kid so if he says he is leaving he is leaving.  It would be really disappointing if he/his manager have used us as a bargaining chip, as his team mate Tom Lynch did two years ago.

    I'd be happy to spend the next five years "on the couch" for half that! ?

    It's obvious the FD rate this kid as most of us on here and if takes that much to get him so be it.

    600k probably won't do it per season but if they believe Lever will make us better I'm all for it.

    I know nothing about the contract status of other Crows players but you would think their stocks would rise if they win the flag so it will be interesting to see if they offer Lever similar money to us.

    I don't think it'll matter, I think the crux of it is Jake and his GF want to come back home to Victoria anyway.

    don't agree.  The coaches more a lot more than the umps

    2 key forwards won the coaches award - Barry Hall and Treadrea 

    Reiwoldt won an MVP

    defenders seemingly get screwed by everyone!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
