Will Petracca Feel Brownlow Love?


Demonland

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

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) 

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 ?

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

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.

Lachie Neale will be suspended for a dangerous tackle, unless the AFL is happy to be corrupt in plain sight.

Trac to win the Brownlow.

Will not even get looked at or deemed insufficient impact. Play on. Sweep. Carpet. Under.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
