After Saturday, it’s hard to smile.  

But tonight we have big Max Gawn as a Brownlow medal chance. 

Tipped to get 20-23 votes and be top 3. 

Can we dream. 

He has had a great year.

    It would be great to see Maxxy take the Brownlow Medal home. I'm clearly biased, but, of the main contenders, I think he's been the most consistent throughout the season, the most vital to the success of the team, and the fairest.

    Plus I put some money on him when he was $12, so I'm hoping for a little money to get some drinks to forget Saturday's game...

    Oliver and Gawn a big chance to both poll 20+ votes.

    Gawn should win it, but as we know its a midfielders award.  Maxy was the dominant player in the comp by far.    Oliver might win it too though. 

    If Tom Mitchell wins it, I will spew.

    There is no question in my mind that Max should win the brownlow tonite. He wont though coz the umps will favour a small midfielder who has been blown around by the media since the begining of the year. Max deserves it. He provides a wonderful assistance to the midfielders, takes intercept marks down back and provides a good marking option up forward. That mitchell just gets it and kicks it.

    Absolute joke this voting. 

    What do you expect from a bunch of part timers who can’t get simple rules right?

    Forgot how boring the Brownlow was, haven watched it in years.

    Its about as interesting as an episode of The Footy Show.

    Brownlow votes should be determined by analysts (tv, radio, etc) instead of umpires. These dodgy pricks cant even adjudicate a game fairly/consistently, how can we expect them to award votes fairly.

    Ablett's 3 votes in round1 is a perfect example of these idiots voting with theirs hearts and not their heads.

    How the [censored] did Gawn not get votes for the Carlton game? 44 hit outs, 4 clearances, 8 score involvements, 2 goals. 0 votes.

    Done with this stupid award.

    Jones polling a bit more than I expected. 

    Gawn already trailing a bit to a point where a Brownlow seems unlikely.

    Has that D'head McLachlan started his ridiculous pauses before naming votes for the leaders yet? It is the major reason i wont watch the Brownlow vote.

    Totally unnecessary, particularly in the early rounds.

    Yes. 

    I truly hate the telecast of the Brownlow. Can’t help myself though.

    Let me guess, they didn't miss the chance to give Cripps votes though?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
