I thought it was a black tie event so why does Danger think he can rock up in a red velvet jacket? 

Because it's Mr can do no wrong, and also can do what he wants.

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

We are ranked second bottom career (cumulative) 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 Margents ?.

Career Brownlow votes by club
5570 GEEL
5503 COLL
5462 CARL
5418 HAW
5416 ESS
5291 STH/SYD
5065 NTH
5059 WBD
5055 RICH
5050 STK
4719 MELB
3427 FITZ

 Considering that Fitzroy haven’t been in the comp since 1998 we are in reality stone motherless last. Add Brisbane’s votes to their tally it will be no contest for last.

Bogan!

Yeah, nah...it’s not bogan.

It’s an attempt to be “quirky”. Blokes a massive nerd yet tries ridiculously hard to come off as a “crazy lad”.

Gosh when did Tiernan Stynes suddenly grow up and get so tall? 

:wub: ?

 

Max would have polled more if we won more.  Umpires are generally biased towards winning teams, also players who get it a lot irrespective of their actual effective or damaging they are in the game.  Sad really.

Wow maxy got the 3 on Queens Birthday. Go Max. 

Deservedly, gave the nominal All- Australian ruckman a proverbial bath.

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.  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!

Hahaha, yeah ok Luci, go to the naughty corner...... you know defenders dont get a mention on Brownlow night.

Everyone with an interest in AFL knows this is a midfielders award.


I think I have to turn it off. Dangerfield is annoying the [censored] out of me and he isn't even doing anything.

Gee hasn't brayshaw's brownlow count changed  a lot in a year? 

Sadly yes.  Sums up our year.

So Max has 14 votes so far....how many did he get last year?

Well according to Spike Milligan's guide for good eating " baby-faced angry bluebottle with chopstick in hand is not necessarily barrel of laughs" ?

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
