Will Petracca Feel Brownlow Love?

Take with a grain of salt but there's a rumour doing the rounds that Petracca has been asked to stay on the Gold Coast by Gil and the execs, who counted the votes early to ensure broadcast access to the victor. All but confirming that Petracca has, at the very least, tied the thing.

    Here’s a screenshot of the ‘text’ that was posted to BF that started that rumour...  my money is on a betting company is behind it.

    I managed to put a very little on him about 8 weeks ago.

    Only got 15 to 1   but its probably better than what he is now but not as good as the start of the season.

    Come on Tracca !!

    If Petracca has won the Brownlow it  would have been best if they surprised him at home. With a delayed telecast they could have got him out of bed and presented him with the Medal. with his PJ's on...  It would have been some viewing. 

    1968 Bob Skilton has been woken from his bed and told that he had won the Brownlow .polling 24 votes.

    Perhaps I’ve missed it but surprised there hasn’t been much chat about Trac’s Brownlow chances. Hasn’t polled well historically but he just stood out this year. Wouldn’t surprise me if he is in it up to his neck

    Also, have heard rumours that he has been ‘requested to stay in QLD’ for the vote. No confidence in the rumour but I’ll take any excitement I can get at the moment.

    Very good Brownlow preview on the MFC website.  

    Can see him being poached and unleashed with a nice budget and support crew by a club with money to burn in a few years.

    Sounds like bollocks. If any shred of truth to this it would be that the afl want the predicted top several or so in a room together for broadcast purposes. Very unlikely given the number of wins we had that Trac will have polled enough to tie with or better Neale.

    Agree. Just passing on information

    Wouldn’t read into Trac being asked to stay in QLD. Haven’t all favorites been asked to stay in/travel to QLD for the event? Got mentioned on some footy show today that Boak is flying up to QLD today.

    Tipping Trac to finish 4th. Had a great season but Neale was a level above.

    I think Neale is a level below...

    Not a match winner for me/game influencer/changer for me... Too much cheap ball and stats are a false commodity and don’t tell the real story. Commentary around his game i believe is well over blown!

    Petracca would be a well deserved winner!

    It’s a race for second. Neale will get the Lions votes and easily get 25-27 votes.  
     

    Petracca should attract the umpires attention like a Dusty or Dangerfield.  I hope he does get at least the 18 or 19 votes he deserves and reward him for a great year.

    If we had of won 3 more games I reckon Trac would win the medal. Not enough wins to get enough 3 votes

    He is great value in the market without Neale (about $3). Menegola is the other one to watch tonight - I think he’ll lead Geel and is a smoky at huge odds.

    How could the umpires not be charmed by the disarming smile of a handsome young lad like Trac? Give him the 3 votes umps!!!!

    Done deal. ?

    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) 

    It went as predicted

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

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

    As predicted

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

    As predicted.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
