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?

Ā 

Massive yawnfest. Might switch it on about 1030 tonight so I can get to sleep.Ā

Is it just me or is the Brownlow losing its relevance? It’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

Ā 

People ringing in SEN saying Max is a shoe in, take it to the bank..........

...ok ...who was it!??

One of the turd polishers?


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.

Ā 

Ā 

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 

Just to cheer up all those deespondent folksĀ about the Club's immediate future or previous decades in the football wilderness.

We are ranked second bottom career (cumulative)Ā Brownlow votes of the original twelve clubs making up the Victorian Football League pre-AFL. Eagles are closing fast must be all those hometown votes from umpire MargentsĀ ?.

Career Brownlow votes by club
5570 GEEL
5503 COLL
5462 CARL
5418 HAW

  • 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 psychologistĀ  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 overwhelmedĀ 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).Ā

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
