Who will be the next Dees Brownlow Winner

Dees2014
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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 ?

    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. Plick

    Gawn is now 2nd favourite for the Brownlow.    

    My posts were July 2017. 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.

    Bet they find a way to give Grundy heaps of votes

    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.

    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.

    Max needs to make Nicholls a latte and become Instagram friends.

    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.

    I think I owe you a few beers then!

     Gawn and Oliver have both moved into the top 4 of Brownlow betting.

    Would rather finals than Brownlow winners 

    You have my vote.

    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

    Oliver will be our next 3 Brownlow winners.

  • Quote

    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

    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?

    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 !!!!

    Nope. Actually, if he misses games next year from this suspension is he eligible for next year’s Brownlow?

    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.

    Would love to see either Max or Clarry win it but I think Patrick Cripps will be very hard to beat.

    • 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?

      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.
