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.

OMG !!!!!!! I just realised that last post was my 1000th !!!! I think I'll go and have a Scot.

That one was alright. There have been a few shockers if I'm honest. ?

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.

Your're last 1000's would have been more relevant than Chris or Brad Scotts !

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'm so bored with this already.

surely we are not dumb enough to pay him 800-900k...

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!

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
