The AFL Brownlow predictor currently has our skipper in second place, behind Lachie Neale. 

Do we think he could win it this year? He hasn't polled as well as expected in previous years, partly due to the intense focus on midfielders over any other position IMO. Maybe this will be the year though...

Brownlow predictor as it currently stands:

13 - Lachie Neale (Brisbane)
10 - Max Gawn (Melbourne)
9 - Matt Rowell (Gold Coast)
8 - Toby Greene (GWS Giants)
8 - Travis Boak (Port Adelaide)
8 - Jack Steele (St Kilda)
7 - Dylan Shiel (Essendon)
7 - Chad Wingard (Hawthorn)
7 - Mitch Duncan (Geelong)

Do they explain how the voting works?  Is it on stats?

Given that Petracca has had several BOG and 2nd BOG from multiple coaches it is a surprise he isn't in the top 3.   Worse, he is missing altogether ?

Not sure how it works. I agree, it's interesting that Petracca is actually third in the betting odds though.

 

I'd love to see Maxy win it obviously but Neale is going really well, is an umpires favourite and with possibly only Zorko to take votes away from him.  Of the others, I think the only danger (based on those listed) is Boak.  Rowell is out of contention of course and Toby Greene will probably shoot himself in the foot (or use his foot to shoot himself in the foot....).

Trac would be ahead of Gawn, no doubt about it. Except the umps are doing the votes so it actually probably Lockhart on 18 votes

Gawn was second favourite two years ago and Brayshaw outpolled him, albeit 21 to 20. I think Gawn's season has been underrated here.  The Age player of the year is a pretty accurate guide as a rule and Gawn is polling very well in that.  Second or third from memory.  He's in the top few in the Herald Sun award as well.  The coaches have Tracc in second place and Gawn around 10th. When we win Gawn is always a chance to poll 3's.  I believe Tracc has barely ever polled a Brownlow vote.  Be interesting to see whenever they count them.

I feel like short of an injury or suspension Lachie Neale is going to win the brownlow by a fair margin

yep, good luck to those who got on at 501/1 before the first practice match in Feb.  Paying 11's now.

Yeah... not sure if I've just missed the Hawks match reports entirely but I haven't heard a peep from him all season.

I can't find one.  It's usually in the paper every Monday.

No doubt, but just the thought of the Chad winning Charlie amuses me.

Haven't got a link but the totals after the last round are:

Neale 61

Gawn 46

Goldstein 45

Steele 42

Macrae 38

Parker 37

Gaff 37

Higgins 36

Pendlebury 36

Naitanui 35

That's the top 10.  Petracca is on 30 with Boak and Tim Kelly.

Update  https://www.afl.com.au/brownlow-medal/predictor

 Trac and Clarry have rocketed up the charts while Maxy hasn't moved due to injury and his two dominant mids  both firing up.

Travis Boak                                     13
Christian Petracca                                     12

Tom Hawkins                                     10
Clayton Oliver                                     9
Dustin Martin                                     9
Josh J Kennedy                                     9

Neale's to lose really.  He's had an amazing season.  Great effort by the three Melbourne boys - especially Oliver in recent times.


I'm on Petracca with Dees to make to make the 8 @120/1. Need Neale to fall over at this stage - even then it's anyone's guess.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
