2017 Brownlow Medal

How good was the way Matisse Stynes spoke? At 16 she spoke with poise to a massive audience, she did her dad proud.

 

And to think no other club wanted Dusty last time he was ooc.

We overlooked him on draft night, didn't try to get him a couple of years ago. 

Great.

She speaks well like her father did.

Yep, remember that.  Roos seemed very keen early then did a severe back pedal.  Someone obviously got into his ear - unfortunately.

We lost to Freo in the last 30 seconds and 2 points.  Freo players got 3,2,1. Really fun)($d system clearly.  

Oliver still unknown to the umps 

Same could be said for West Coast when we beat them.

It's beyond depressing

There is a book written on the Demons last 10 years, is there a full chapter written on Dustin??

She was the best presenter, the rest were quite awkward. A beautiful young lady, Jim would be so proud.

Probably because Oliver was handballing it to them all the time. Can't believe how poorly he polled.

I think the umpires need to get to know him and his style.  It's no coincidence that the better known players tend to poll better and young guys tend to be largely overlooked.

 

Anyone got Melb votes. Missed the telecast. Cheers.

Dusty's awesome, but whey're lucky to have Petracca. He's a similar player.

Are the mark and goal of the year voted on by the public or just the AFL?

The public vote, then the AFL decides who wins...

Could be yes. He has a long way to go

I am glad Oliver didn't poll as well as he should have. Will be better odds next year. I think Dusty, Kelly, Oliver and Fyfe. Winner probably comes within those 4. The quality of talent around at present is insane. Martin is as good a mid as I've seen, and he should get better. It will take a very special player to beat him next year (Martin is only improving). Oliver, Kelly and Fyfe are all unique talents.

Bruce and Daisy reading the club by club votes. Channel 7 displaying the club vote boards. Gets to hawthorn and then goes straight to North Melbourne. They bumble and then come back to tell Dees board. Pretty obvious that we are considered irrelevant hahha. I mean seriously, no vision all nighy..the lowest votes of any club but Carlton. No vision in the highlights package.

And here I am, only knowing who Matt Priddis is on Brownlow night when he started polling well and i googled him.

Tmac getting 9 votes as a forward. I think that's where he plays now, he just doesn't seem to have it as a defender.

Swan was clearly given free reign to say whatever he felt with the betting company’s account, and attendees felt the brunt of it at times.

You know what Clayton Oliver would be if he wasn’t a footballer? A virgin. #Brownlow

What would Dane Swan be if he wasn't a footballer? Inmate 657.

Oscar definitely doesn't have it as a defender.

Not far from the truth, a truth of which most people who think he's a knockabout top block, have either forgotten or are too young to remember:

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • 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.
