Who will be the next Dees Brownlow Winner

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.

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

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
