2017 Brownlow Medal


Lucifers Hero

Recommended Posts

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.

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

Agree 100%.

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

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.

can you put up some nice pics of the paint drying, uncle, i'm looking for some inspiration

You'll miss out on something called a Dami Im that can apparently sing.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
