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..........

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
