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.

    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 .......

    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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
