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...

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.
