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

Yeah he’ll [censored] it in with 6 votes from 2 wins...

    Oliver has already become a much greater player than I ever thought he could be.  He’ll be the best player in the league sooner rather than later.

    Brownlows though are fickle things and I’d rather have 3-4 players capable of winning one like Brisbane (Voss, Akermanis, Black) West Coast (Cousins, Judd, Kerr, Cox) than one standout player like Judd at Carlton or Fyfe at Freo.

    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 backed Clarrie at $101 to 1 two months ago, his last 6 weeks would have to have him in the mix.

    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

    Commentators have been saying it'll be amazing if Mitchell doesn't win it... I just don't see it. He pads out his numbers with a heap of cheap handballs out the back....

    Agree Oliver and Gawn are big chances this year. 

    Though the umps love Dusty so he is probably on 25-28 votes already

    If Dusty wins the Brownlow the medal is finished.

    Oliver would have 9 votes the last 3 weeks. I reckon he could easily have 20 votes at this point. He’s a massive shot 

     

    as is Gawn

    Which is obviously why he is 3rd favourite with betting agencies across the country tail light.

    What’s also obvious is betting agencies know how to make money.

    Shout out to crown bet who stopped taking my bets after I loaded up on Oliver at 50-1 last year for most Brownlow votes of any Melbourne player.

    Who do we think will be the most likely winner of the Brownlow from our current list. I'll start the ball rolling:

     

    3. Oliver

    2. Petracca

    1. Viney

     

    honourable mentions

    Gawn - (I know unusual for a ruckman to win recently, but there was Stynes, Moore, Dempsey).

    Tyson (if he improves his kicking)

    Hibberd

    TMac

    (left field choice) Brayshaw - yes he is that good folks when he is fit

    Gawny up to 21 votes...  Oliver on 18.

    Would be nice if the umps recognized ruckmen for once...   Gawn and Grundy could duke it out for the medal.

    Dusty will be in the mix, just because it's likely to be a low vote winner this year, as opposed to the last few years where players have romped away. I wouldn't be surprised if Maxy polls in more games than the AFL.com count has, just think he'll get a few 1 or 2 votes in his reasonable games and is a good chance to also get those 3 vote games.

    Regardless of his below average disposal efficiency, Tom Mitchell will win it, the umpires love a possession accumulating mid. I’ll go with Oliver for our next Brownlow winner.

    One thing Max has going for him, asides from being an exceptional footballer, is that everything he does on the field in eye-catching.  His massive frame, the beard, the pack marks, chases, tackles all catch the eye in the same way Crawford, Woewodin and Akermains' peroxided hair did.

    This is true. Just pops up for attention grabbing mark in back line. Crazy-accurate kick through traffic to start a chain (what I saw this week), very able below knees.

    Wouldn't surprise me if 2018 is The Year of the Max but then Mitchell.

    If every player was asked who they’d prefer in their team do you think they’d pick Gawn or Tom Mitchell?

    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 !!!!

    and there is the problem.......they will steal points off each other

    cripps must be looking good though with only 2 wins this will count against as winning teams naturally score the top votes

    Max and Clarrie hopefully will be top 5 in the Brownlow count. It now seems max was clearly injured there for a few weeks considering his game on Sunday. Those weeks may have cost him a few votes and it would be unusual for a ruckman to do it, but if its a fair count he still should be able to win.  Here is one the latest markets

    Tom Mitchell
    Patrick Dangerfield
    Dustin Martin
    Patrick Cripps
    Clayton Oliver
    Max Gawn
    Brodie Grundy
    Dayne Beams
    Dyson Heppell

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
