Will Petracca Feel Brownlow Love?

I think he'll poll, but not at the top.  Generally it takes a year or so for the Umpires to catch up.  Lachie Neale had a huge season last year, and now he's no doubt well ahead in the voting.  Next year we can expect Petracca to get some love.

    got on him at 50s

    Believe it or not he was 501/1 before the 1st practice match back in March.

    Spewing.

    I remember a couple years ago at the QB game watching De Goey tear us apart outta the middle blasting into space with power and speed and thinking that that was what Petracca lacked.

    Well .... Now he's doing just that but with more skill.
    Confidence is sky high and I now think we're watching a genuine Thoopastar just starting to hit his straps.
    For anyone with kids who has watched Kung Fu Panda it's like when it finally dawns on Po that he is infact .......
    The Dragon Warrior.
    Gonna be awesome to watch over the next X amount of years.

    Brownlow or not .... I really don't care but the umpires won't miss him.

    At this rate Petracca et all will be taking votes off each other.

    Sometimes it is easier to win a Brownlow in an average team without many stars to steal votes.  Recent winners tell the story.

    All the recent dynasties with stacked midfields have had Brownlow winners. Bartel, Ablett, black, aker, Mitchell etc

    Leigh Matthews had Petracca BOG, whereas Herald Sun has Langdon, Oliver & Brayshaw in the votes, very even spread for this game, tough to predict

    Lions is probably the only dynasty that have a lot of brownlows.   Ablett won a brownlow with the Suns and Hawks weren't a dynasty club when Mitchell won.

    Most recent brownlow winners are:

    • Fyfe
    • Mitchell
    • Martin
    • Dangerfield
    • Fyfe
    • Priddis
    • Ablett (Suns)

    Only two of their teams finished top 4 in the year they won.  Add in the year Judd won at Carlton and you see my point about ometimes it is easier to win a Brownlow in an average team without many stars to steal votes. 

    I hope that Petracca does go all the way but expect other demons to poll well.

    Petracca should get votes again for the Pies game.  It depends on whether it’s him or Oliver with the 3 votes.  
     

    Gil mc will of course build up the tension as Trac and Oliver get votes 

     

    “ Melbourne. C ... “. (Petracca or Oliver)

    Mate, you’ve left out Bartel winning it for Geelong in 2007 and Ablett winning his first Brownlow at the cats in 09. And I also forgot to add in both Judd and Cousins at west coast (2004 and 2005 respectively) playing in the same midfield.

    I wouldn't have had petracca I'm the votes myself. 

    3: langdon 

    2: Brayshaw

    1: Oliver

    The flashy spins and take away from contests usually stick in the umps eyes over Oliver’s handballing in close, but of late Clarry has also been kicking long and running with it. Trac and Clarry were best for mine but I’m also bias as I have Trac to win the brownlow at 501/1 ?

  • Quote

    Can’t see many at the Lions taking BOGs off Neale. I reckon he’ll win win based on this. 
    gawn has a couple of BOGs and clarry too, and viney one Perhaps

    not that I think Neale deserves it over Trac

    Neale wins this unless suspension. Even an injury might not be enough to take it from him.

    I just checked, BetEasy is offering me nearly 7x my initial investment, to cash out on petracca now on one of my bets and over 3 times on the other.  That must mean he’s still in with a red hot chance.  

    Very tempting to cash out early... I agree it could be Neales

    Cash out for sure.

    Neale will win it, the mindless umps just give it to who gets the most possessions no matter what impact they have - see Priddis, Mitchell

    I wouldn’t cash out, ride it out unless you have a heap on it. 
     

    If Neale gets rubbed out, then he is in with a great chance. Even if not, if Trac plays well in the next few the cash out goes up.

    Shane Crawford just came out and said that he believes Petracca is currently the best player in the league.

     

     

    Crawford went early and now is now looking like a genius. Well done Crawf.

    Another likely 3 votes for Trac last night (cant see the umps giving 3 to May).  Watch out Lachie Neale, you aren't safe just yet!

    We've had a few losses that often means no votes for losing sides. Neale will have polled more thanks to more wins.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
