As much as Iโ€™d love this to happen, he has nothing to worry about. At most itโ€™s a fine. And tbh I reckon Boak has gone past Trac in the last few weeks

ย 

Love to see Trac end the year on a high with a BOG effort this weekend. ย Heโ€™s had a great year. ย He might match Gus with a bronze medal in the Brownlow count.ย 
ย 

I think they have been managing his workloadย for the last 4 games and played him more as a forward/midfielder. ย 

Anyone know if he polled the coaches votes?

neale has been average the last couple of weeks

 

Age votes for Dees v Giants were May, Langdon, Gawn, Petracca, Kelly. ย ย 

AFL Website has Petracca as our 3rd best.
ย 

He might sneak a vote especially with the goal he kicked to end the first quarter. ย 
ย 

ย 

He was handy. Defender and rucks donโ€™t traditionally poll well so he is a good chance of one or two.

I donโ€™t think they release the coaches votes to the public for the last two rounds until after the winner is announced.ย

Yes is it so the coaches donโ€™t cheat a little and sneak in a vote for their man !ย 

Definitely a Brownlow fancy, but I think he will finish 2nd orย 3rd behind Neale and maybe Boakย

Unfortunately I agree. Think Boak has gone past him. Letโ€™s hope both throw punches this week and cop a week ??

I could see him getting a vote for last game but yeah I'm thinking a podium finish at this stage.ย 


Boak and Neale have played on their home ground this season, while Trac hasn't.ย  Hes done twice as much travel as either of them.

Tracs season has been way more impressive than either of them and he should be awarded an extra 10 brownlow votes for playing away all season while the other two guys played in Adelaide and Brisbane all year.

He may win it anyway but if he doesn't it will have a giant asterisk next to it.

Neale, Daylight, Boak, Jack Steele, Trac...

The coaches votes leader boarder after rnd 16:

  • 85 Neal
  • 69 Boak
  • 62 Petracca
  • 61 Steele
  • 58 T Adams
ย  ย 

The votes for rnd 17 weren't published and rnd 18 votes will be held up until the Award announcement.

Neale will win.ย  Boake will probably get votes in the last few rounds as will Petracca and Steele.ย 

So if the umpire's votes correlate to the coaches every chance Petracca is top 3 in the Brownlow.ย

Possibly a vote yesterday v bombers. ย 

Strangely the bombers getting close might rob him of the vote as the umps might go with Langdon or Gawn and put Shiel in the voting.ย 
ย 

I actually think Trac has struggled over the last 5 weeks not in form but in fitness. ย I think he might have a slight injury that is being managed by goody and burgo. ย He had been put forward for a large section of games (like the Saints game) and whilst he has been good, he hadnโ€™t been in the engine room as much as earlier in the year. ย

Neale $1.25 favourite wow

Probably 3 votes again last night. ย Should have 24-25 votes. Wow indeed. In 17 rounds. ย  I see him as a clear winner from Boak, Steele, Danger & Trac.ย

Nothing a 2 week break won't fix !!!

If he plays well and we win more games the votes will take care of themselves.ย  Since he started well umpires will notice him more as that is human nature.

Surely you are not suggesting that some umpires are humanย ????

Not sure where else to put this.

A mate has messaged me saying Tom Browne has claimed Carlton is actively pursuing Petracca because apparently he is unhappy.

I called BS given he signed a contract in Feb. Plus search across Twitter, Bigfooty, Google, everywhere has yielded zero results. Nothing on Tom Browne Twitter either.

Asked him where he heard it and he's stalling. Is he pulling my chain?

Is Jack Steele to biggest danger to Neale? ย Saints won enough games and Steele was right in the heat of the action. Clearly no other player likely to take votes off him.ย 
I think itโ€™s Neale, Steele, Boak and the Trac as top 4. ย No surprises there!ย

Reckon Boak finishes second. Trac and Steele I reckon finish within a vote or two of each other.ย

And Carlton in the mix again!

No wonder they are cold on DeGoey also.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.ย They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season.ย Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, theyโ€™re riding high in third place on the AFL table.ย The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this weekโ€™s encounter, it seems a forlorn hopeย that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourneย captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles atย Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckmanโ€™s masterclass in the second half.ย  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipperโ€™s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, aย career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested),ย nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.ย

    Following a disastrous 0โ€“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.
