DeezNuts 624 Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Someone here on DL suggested a few months ago to put a punt on Gawn. I think it was like 19:1 or 12:1 at the time. I’m not much of a gambler, aside for 2-up and a mock Melbourne Cup, but I threw a few on in this case when it was suggested. Let’s see how the man goes ? Quote
Demon Disciple 12,544 Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Gawn won't get close. He is a ruckman for one, umps don't give them any votes and how many games has bl00dy Nicholls umpired against us? He'd give Gawny negative votes such is his disdain for him.

Your archive is admirable. My view now is that Max is rightly outright favourite for the medal. He is a genuine star and in the top three or four players in the AFL, and one of the few who makes such a huge difference when he is on the field that he makes the difference between winning and losing. He WILL win us a flag in the next year or two. I really don’t understand certain commentators who rank Max only in the top 2 or 3 ruckman in the AFL. To me he is clearly number one. The complete package. Quote

dl4e 5,851 Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 I will be interested to see the games that Nicholls umpired and how Gawn went in them. I believe Max should be favourite for the Brownlow now so it will be interesting to see how he polls. Quote
nosoupforme 3,085 Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 How good is Gawn's influence in the centre bounces and around the stoppages ? What about his big telling marks in defence ? His ground work is exquisite. 40+ hit outs 13 times out of 16 games. Leads the MVP by 5 votes before this count smashing his nearest rivals. If he keeps this form going and free of injury he can legitimately win this years Brownlow without a doubt. He is the main reason that we are in the hunt to make finals for the first time since 2006. He has a big influence in the saying of how we finish the year. I and many others would prefer a Premiership than a Brownlow, however he deserves both medals. Quote

Dee Zephyr 19,333 Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 If you’d like some Clarrie you can get $67 for the Brownlow. Interestingly, Jesse also at $67 for the Brownlow, seems a bit odd though. Quote
brendan 3,458 Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 I got max yesterday at $10 he is now into $7 outright second favorite so been a fair push over the last day Quote

What 18,810 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Gawn and Oliver have both moved into the top 4 of Brownlow betting. 1 Quote

In Harmes Way 7,888 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 We’re developing a champion team rather than a team of champions. Our boys will share too many votes to win one. But we’ll get some Norm Smith medals soon enough 1 Quote
faultydet 7,623 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Oliver will be our next 3 Brownlow winners. Quote
DubDee 26,795 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Will be disapointing but not surprising if Mitchell wins it. he is a very good player but not an out and out star like previous winners (Fyfe/Danger,/Dusty) or like Gawn/oliver. he gets it a lot due to a lack of quality inside mids at hawthorn and imo does not influence games to the extent the others I mention do. itll just show that the umpires notice the amount of touches rather than the impact over a game Quote
Demonstone 23,644 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Some say they'll take votes off each other, but a Gawn/Oliver quinella has a nice bit of romance to it. Has any club ever achieved this? Quote
monoccular 17,761 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 2018 Brownlow winner is ........ joint winners Max Gawn and Clayton Oliver History making - first time a shared Brownlow between two players from the one club !!!! 1 Quote

Big Demon 197 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Hard to pick because the very best players don’t often win it as history shows. Generally a midfielder due to sheer possessions so probably Oliver closest right now though he may not be flashy enough. A Petracca up and running would be noticed. Quote
ProperDee 1,698 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Would love to see either Max or Clarry win it but I think Patrick Cripps will be very hard to beat. Quote
