2017 Brownlow Medal

Featured Replies

I recall reading that our attendees are Jones, Viney, Hibberd and Oliver.

Oliver is predicted to score about 18 to 22 votes. 

If so he will be our highest vote scorer for more than a decade...

Amazing achievement for a second year player.  What impressed me was he continued to get votes in the second half of the year when we were losing games.  That is the mark of a really good player (dare I say 'elite') - a high performer in good and bad times.

If Oliver polls in the top 10 - 20 players, it shows how idiotic the selection of the AA squad of 40 really is.

Tom McDonald too.

I hope Nev Jetta polls like mad to shove it up the cretins who continue to ignore him.

Seriously, how does a guy whose name was in AA discussions all year not get an invite to the Brownlow?

I will watch the Brownlow for the first time in 10 years as we had a good season and a few of the losses were real close, so we should get our most votes in a long long time.

Would be awesome to see Clayton get 20+ votes.  We havent had a player do that since Woewodin.

Thanks - forgot about Tom.

I thought the same thing about Jetta.  They invited only 5 players from each team and Tom got a spot by virtue of being in the leadership team.  Or because we have 2 captains they both get invited. 

No offence to Tom but I would prefer the AA squad nominees got a gig first.

Oliver paying $5 with TAB to finish top 5 and $3.25 to poll over 18.5 votes.

Both odds tempting.


I reckon Clarry will have a great opening 10-12 rounds and then tail off as the season progresses.  It's still amazing he's done so well for a kid so young.

Got a fair bit of money for Clarry to get 17+ votes, not the wisest move but let's do this boys!!!

The most drawn out, painfully slow, advertisement ridden, boring hours of television there is. Will be watching something else.

Agree 100%.


They just had a small piece on Jack Viney and his missus getting ready for the Brownlow.  He blamed Jack Watts for the price of his partners dress and vowed to have words with him about it.

Haha, good one! but you left out phoney, manicured, tarty, ridiculous, self promoting, boorish and cringe worthy. Hehe

His sister?

 

Hunt might poll quite well (12+ votes?) ... he's the type that the umpires may notice. 

There again,  I'm not very good at these types of things.  

As others have said,  Clarry should receive about 20 votes or so.

 

Edit:  Ugh

I did a bit of painting maintenance at The Manor today - various stains and fluids etc  were getting a bit ugly.

Anyway, I'd find it far more entertaining to watch said paint drying than tune into the brownlow.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
