A yawnfest, or will Big Max take home Charlie tonight? I suspect only if Charlie Spargo is his plus 1.

And should the AFL considerĀ changingĀ the voting, perhaps including the coaches in the voting system?

    Is it just me or is the Brownlow losing its relevance? Itā€™ll just goĀ to the midfielder who hadĀ the most amount of disposals.

    I hope so as I put cash on Treloar to surprise everyone paying $21

    Lost it relevance years ago.

    yawn.......

    Is there any award show that isn't a yawn.

    Never could understand why people watched them.

    As a separate issue there is "the award" itself.Ā  It's nice but..........

    Mind you the system is better than the MFC BnF

    I suppose I'm boring, but I enjoyed it when it was all about football; I enjoyed reliving the seasons matches.

    Now it seems it is about everything but football.Ā  They rush through the rounds as quickly as possible so they can get to the next WAG, musical number or 'comedy' skit.

    It might be seen as a yawnfest to some, but it is still consistently one of the highest rating TV programs of the year. I note the AFL or Channel 7 (or both) have said they areĀ making some changes to it this year to stop it dragging on so long. It will be interesting to see what they are. (Mind you, I won't be watching as I'll be working. But in interests of full disclosure, if I wasn't working I would be watching. I can't explain why, but I always find it strangely compelling.)

    My prediction? Patrick Cripps.

    And most votes for a Melbourne player: Max Gawn

    Seeing as we don't have votes now decided by "Fairest and Best" is there one player in the Supposed Top Ten that would qualify? i wonder..........Ā

    Our attendees:

    Nathan Jones, Max Gawn, Clayton Oliver, Bayley Fritsch, Jack Viney

    Ā 

    Fritsch there for MOTY, perhaps?

    How many more of these would we have seen if he had played forward all year!Ā 

    Would love to see him win it, if that is why he is invited.

    Just read our best chances on the AFL website, and it says best chance Maxy, then according to the AFL Jesse Hogan is next . Yes it says Jesse Hogan.

    WTF!

    I know that defenders don't win Brownlow's but given that Rich won 16 games and Dylan Grimes was one of the few that played nearly every game he would have to poll well.Ā  And, not many stars to take votes from him so he would have to be roughy to be on the podium; maybe do a Gus Brayshaw as the Tigers haven't included him to go tonight!

    Surely to goodness she doesn't move from the forward line next year. He is a natural forward. Let's hope his time down back has helped him round out his game.

    Have to say, Matisse Stynes doesĀ  a great job with the media.Ā  Obviously she's had a lot of practice by now, but she speaks really well.Ā

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... itā€™s time to discuss this weekā€™s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliverā€™s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line ā€¦ Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
