1.Neale

2.Boak

3. Petracca

 

He has had a fine year Trac, at times he wasn't as effective - but I'd hope he would be 18-22 votes range.

Predicted Melbourne Leaderboard:

  • 18 – C.Petracca
  • 7 – M.Gawn
  • 7 – S.May
  • 7 – C.Oliver
  • 5 – J.Viney
  • 4 – A.Brayshaw
  • 3 – E.Langdon
  • 2 – B.Fritsch

Will be interested to see how many votes Oliver gets.  It always seems odd that he polls so few, even in AA or winner of BnF years.  Plenty of players score highly in poor performing teams so do not think that is the reason.  And its hard to think the umps don't notice him.  Just wonder whether he is still suffering from the false claims of 'staging' in his early years.

I think it is based on the AFL predictor which has Petracca 3rd with 18 , Boak 2nd on 21 votes and Neale 1st on 25 votes.

Shows what we all know that the only forward to get a look in  is Frisch with 2.

He couldn't threaten to leave the league should he poll too few could he? 

A few weeks ago, I had the most vivid dream that Jackson Macrae from the Bulldogs won the Brownlow this year.  In the dream, I wondered if they meant Toby McLean but somebody said that he was injured.  The very next game,  McLean got injured!!

So convinced was I by this dream that I went to the local TAB to put money on Macrae at very enticing odds, but the agency's machines were down and the bet couldn't be placed.

I intended to return at a later date, but caution kicked in and I've decided to keep my money in my pocket in the expectation that either Lachie Neale will win comfortably or Petracca will prevail.  That bloody Macrae better not win.

 

macrae is totes winning now

like everyone it's hard to imagine the maggots going past neale as a regular 3-voter, and trac should canter away with our votes

i would love to see him or boak get it, but it'd be hard to begrudge neale - had an incredible year

Edited by whatwhatsaywhat

Neale, Boak and Trac are the common top 3 across most media outlets.

There's always an outsider who goes close.

I think Gaff will poll ver well and think Gray, SPP and some of Ports young brigade will take votes away from Boak, to see Trac jump him. I think Lyons, Mcluggage, Rich and Zorko may take votes from Neale but not enough.

Top 6

1. Neale

2. Trac

3.Gaff

4. Boak

5. Danger

6. Mcrae

He stays as long as Viney doesn't poll more than him ?

Very funny. I was about to post the same thing...just for the conspiracy theorists on this site.

Had a look at the AFL Predictor brownlow-medal/predictor  and Petracca is on 18 votes.  However, it has not scored him votes in rnd 6 vs GCS, rnd 8 vs Lions and 17 vs Giants.  The coaches gave him 7, 7, and 6 in those rounds.  So he may get a few more than 18.

I don't think he will overtake Neale but votes in those 3 rounds could be enough to overtake Boak.

Note:  the 3,2,1 by round in the mfc article differ occasionally to the AFL Predictor.

Kinda bummed Rowell did his shoulder. May have been a chance to take out the medal if he'd played the season out - what a ridiculous debut season that would have been! He was on fire early.

He threw it out punching a wall after finishing 5th in the best and fairest.


Lol, how does Gawn get two votes in the Carlton game when a rookie broke even with him?

Umpires love gawny

 

Gawn managed 4 votes across those two ordinary MCG losses we had.

Expect him to poll 3-5 more votes in the NSW hub games and be near the top of the table after round 7.

Gawn’s first half was that dominant that the umpires didn’t even bother reviewing his second half.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
