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

I don't know.

Because we're talking about the Brownlow, it's in that context the comment was made.

 

Jack Viney 2019 together with All Australian and premiership captain!!

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

Response to my post stating Patrick Cripps would be hard to beat in Brownlow.

Proof that 12k+ posts indicate that whilst you may be good at waffle and sarcasm, really know stuff all about the game in general.


J Harmes a smokey

Wont be a tagger forever 

Gus, Lever or Harmes.

Or someone who's not even born yet. i.e. we're such a good team with such a good spread that we become a team of vote stealers.

 

Based on the polling we may not get one.  Yes we have the players who deserve one but getting enough votes for one is a different matter.

Viney will start taking votes from Brayshaw and Oliver.  Along with Max claiming his fair share they may all finish in the top 5 or top 10 but all too good to separate in the votes. 

That is one star-studded midfield, the likes of which hasn't bee seen since the Lions of the early 2000's. 

Sadly, the Brownlow means less and less each year so Max, Ollie, Gus and Jack can rotate for the Norm Smith medal ?

He lost by 8 votes, he wasn’t hard to beat at all. 

My point was there was no way he would win it. And I was correct as always. 

Can’t recall a defender winning a Brownlow.

Do we really care? Winning finals and then a GF is what counts. Winning the best midfielder award is just an AFL sideshow.

Who has the 'highest games no votes ' record currently?

Nick Smith (Swans) 211 games, no votes. 

So the rumour goes....

Brayshaw. Unlike Oliver, who does a lot of hard-to-see work in close, Brayshaw does the eyecatching stuff,.If Oliver further develops his own eyecatching work, - Look out, Brownlow.

This is purely subjective on my part, but I reckon Brayshaw has a more conspicuous style of play than Oliver.

I think Wanganeen played back pocket in 93...

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
