    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.

    How the hell do AFLW " women " with their " partners ' ,Fitzy,  Mick Malloy and his cuddle get a Guernsey at a AFL Brownlow freeby ?

    Guess they all vote YES !

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
