    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!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
