The biggest surprise in these odds is that Angus Brayshaw is 25/1 for the Brownlow. I only say that because as an "unknown" last year he still managed to come third. I would expect he will now be noticed even more by the umpires in 2019 and benefit from that. Of course, he will also now be subjected to more scrutiny from the opposition, but no more than the names ahead of him on the list.

    I hardly bet but I reckon putting $20 on Tmac's Coleman odds wouldn’t be silly.

    Josh Kelly 16-1 for the brownlow.  juicy odds

    I see we are $3.50 to miss the 8. so we are twice as likely to miss the 8 than to win the flag!  that sums up the craziness of this league I think!

    I have a personal 'rule' never to bet on the Dees, so for me it's just incredibly exciting to see how well we are placed on all of the charts at this point in time.  At last we are widely (and justifiably) recognized and no longer anonymous!  I know a hell of a lot can happen between now and then, but if things go our way .........  who knows?

    3 players in the bracket above for the Brownlow, good signs. If anyone is chasing longer odds, the skip is at $126. We’d love to see a full season from Viney, he polls easily.

    I assume that Brayshaw is listed in the top 10 or so is because of his surprise finish in this years Brownlow. Gus had a cracking 2018 and I look forward to him repeating it and perhaps going up a notch. Kid is a star.

    The long odds are always a massive distortion of the real chances:

    GC: 251-1 for the flag - play next season 251 times and there's still no way GC win the flag, it's really something like 251,000-1.

    Same goes for GCs top 8 and top 4 chances, likewise for Carlton for all 3.

    He was already well noticed considering how well he polled despite missing a large chunk of games at the start of the year. Had he played to start the season and played to the standard he did for the rest of the reason, he'd have won by a mile.

    Indeed. 

    Speaking of betting i backed Oliver to get get more votes than Maxy, thinking it was good value. I chose the wrong player.

     I could not believe Brayshaw polled more votes than Oliver. Crazy. 

    I reckon the umps must hate Oliver. Perhaps a touch too lippy?

    He's either too lippy to umpires or opposition players or he is simply too quick for those blind maggots to see.

    You are quite right. My post can only make sense if some umpires didn't notice him who now may be more likely to because their peers already have.

    Many Melbourne players will feature in Brownlow votes this coming season 2019, while obviously a kick by foot is worth more than a ball by hand, no matter who is giving it..........

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
