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

  • 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.

How many votes does Oliver have to poll for him to stay at Melbourne? 

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    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

    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.
