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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
