    Bottom line is we only 1 player to get double digits .. Oliver a second year player..  there were clubs who finished below us who polled more.. understand it's about team etc but we lack genuin guns! Our drafting continues to hurt us Kelly 21pts, Wines 19 ... 

    Not that the brownlow means too much as votes are primarily given to mids however it does show where we are as a club.  

    Our 25-30 yo player group never developed and we are relying on our 20 yo players to do the heavy lifting. 

    We will be a genuine threat when the 20-21-22 yo player group develops together. Still need another 3 years.

    viney, hogan, hunt, Salem, trac, brayshaw, o mcd, weid, Oliver. 

    All can be stars and if they develop properly constitutes half of our side.

    You need to run and carry and kick the football to win a Brownlow, our best chance Petracca and if he wins it we are playing the Saturday after the Brownlow.

    Quite a lot on innuendo in those " " quotation marks.  Not one of your better efforts.

     

    Fitzy was a guest of another player or dare I say partner (without quotation marks).

    Molloy is a panelist on the Ch7 footy show.

    ...and no idea how they vote!!!

    The entire Brownlow ceremony is 99% fluff and padding as those of us who remember the call on radio from days long since passed. (And even that was high fluff factor for the times.)

    They could do the whole thing in 10 minutes. Do a countdown of the top 10 scores, announce the winner. Then give a spreadsheet with all the numbers to the papers.

    It could be done the way they do press conferences when a player announces he's re-signed, or has retired. A short statement, a few questions, then pub.

    But they like to frizz it up with their ideas of entertainment ... red carpet, GOTY, roaming Fevolas, etc, etc.

    Who cares if they invite a few glamours and their arm candy?

    Nice of the umpires to not give Danger any votes in round 22 to ensure he didn't win and embarrass the AFL!

    Rnd 22 - Dangerfield:  32 disposals, 12 clearances and two goals.  BOG from every other award voters.

    Umpires colluding is even more embarrassing than Danger winning - that it is not in the spotlight does not make it less unethical.

    It's an AFL issue ... backed up by a cooperative media.  And the footy public don't care enough either. 

    It's convenient for the AFL for the umpires to take the heat ... although the heat dies down quite quickly anyway.

    I do agree with the sentiment of your post though ... also, the Brownlow has a history of questionable outcomes.   Dating back to the 70's

    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.

    He was set to leave until Caroline Wilson wright rumors about his lifestyle in the age, then everyone got cold feet

    • 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.
