The current market on TAB has Lachie Neale as the red-hot favourite. Pretty much unbackable at the odds. I didn't see much of him this year but he must have had a pearler.

Second in line is our current favourite son, one Christian Petracca.

$7.00 the win; $2.00 top 3; $1.30 top 5; $1.12 top 10.

Any chance of an upset?

Funny [censored] happens in the Brownlow. It's never certain until they hang Charlie around the winner's neck.

If Neale doesn't win it'll be daylight robbery.  He's had an outstanding season and would be the worthiest of winners. Tracc has no history of polling well and it usually takes a year or so for the umps to catch up.

That's what you get when you leave it up to Umpires to adjudicate the BOG players when they generally have NFI how to adjudicate the game.

When you follow an also ran club that just makes up the numbers it is usual to be interest in " can one of our players win the Charlie". About a decade ago I decided that not to have an interest on the basis of t is what club supporters like us do. So when we are finishing regularly in the top 4 I will get interested.

Especially given from very early and for most of the year the media was beating the Neale will win the Brownlow drum. The umpires would have to hear that. Does it increase their notice of him, or do they look past him while trying to manage their internal bias?

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
