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

No wonder they are cold on DeGoey also.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, itโ€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itโ€™s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologistย  Itโ€™s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now letโ€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedย the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).ย

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Caseyโ€™s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckmanโ€™s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demonsโ€™ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
