Hnmm very interesting, based on previous winners how accurate is this prediction? I believe if Clarry doesnt win outright it could be a two or even three way tie. He has had a stellar year and his selfless mantra of improving for the teams sake says volumes about the buy in, not only from him, but the whole club.

Interesting.  Gawn also on 13 according to this.  So Clarry 34, Petracca 25 and Gawn 13 is 72 votes between them.  We won 17 games (hard to get the 3 in losing games, although Oliver should do it against Adelaide first time around) which is 51 total in 3's.  It's not beyond the realms to be fair.  I think Gawn is likely to be a little higher than 13 and both Petracca and Oliver marginally lower.  But I still think Oliver wins (or at least ties).

 

Loved on the Gawny and Gus podcast they were laughing about potential speaches if Jackson won the rising star or Clarry won the brownlow.


I reckon Clarrie’s lack of votes in previous seasons is telling. Might struggle (also the reason the ‘Coaches votes’ should be the most valued award). 

ABC footballer of the year, probably AFLCA….would have to be a very strong chance.

Age Footy Podcast didn’t even mention Oliver - Bontempelli or Wines was concensus.

The umpires historically haven't liked Clarrie (as Webber referenced).  The dislike has thawed but won't be enough to see him win it.   Clearly, Bontempelli was the favoured one for much of the season and would have a lot of votes banked.

I think it's really hard for teams that have multiple heavily polling players to produce a winner, which is why i think the winner will be Ollie Wines, but i also think Zach Merrett has had a VERY good season and could be top 3 

 


Unfortunately, I reckon there will be a correlation between the umpire free kick differential and the team the brownlow winner comes from.

Doggies lead a charmed life with the umpires on free kicks, no reason they won't also have affirmation bias when it comes to their voting. 

When is the Brownlow count and Coaches awards??

Agree strongly.

Reckon Clarrie is still seen as a bit of a stager by the umps, and is a long way off being one of their "pets".

Probably deserves to win on output, but there are others i would have my money on before him.

Logic agrees with you, but history doesn't. Aker/ Voss/ Black; Judd/Cousins/Kerr; Ablett/ Bartel; Mitchell/ Hodge; Swan/ Pendlebury; Fyfe/ Mundy; Danger/ Selwood, etc. Not many Brownlows get won by good players in bad sides (Fyfe the only recent exception).

The winner almost always comes from a team that wins 15+ games. Bont, Oliver and Wines will be a clear top 3 I reckon.

Coaches award announced tomorrow night.

I don't think the brownlow nights been locked in but if we have a bye between the prelims and the granny it'll be that week to maximise attention/ratings. 

I see Clarry as having next to no chance of winning. He just doesn't pole well. The fact we rate the Brownlow as the highest honour is stupid. Highest honour should be coach and/or player voted. Petracca is a better chance in my eyes.

I'll be very happy with a Clarry Norm Smith! 

Think it might be Bont's to lose this year.  Though he finished slow, he'll probably have a sizable lead by two thirds of the way though the season.   Player link Bontempelli and Petracca catch the eye a lot easier than Oliver and a probably a little friendlier to the umps in the heat of battle.

 


 

I had a closer look at the coaches votes and at the end of round 21 this is a summary:

image.png.e1d3425c7545b29d15a187483496f476.png

Oliver had 16 'minor' votes for a total of 104 and Bont had 4 for a total of 101.  As umpires vote 3,2,1 these 'minor' votes are unlikely to feature in Brownlow voting so I have omitted them from the above.  

Bont has 5, BOG, and 4 second BOG. ie 27 Brownlow votes if umpires see it as per coaches.  Oliver has 2 BOG and 4 second BOG ie 14 Brownlow votes if umpires see it as per coaches.

I doubt Bont will get votes in rnd 22 and 23.  Oliver may get 1 ca vote for rnd 22 and either BOG (which he deserves) or second BOG for rnd 23.  If Oliver gets lots of 1 votes from the umpires he might get closer to Bontempelli but those 5 BOG's look tough to overcome.

I haven't looked at Wines but he could pip Oliver and finish second.

Edit:  Did the summary for Wines up to round 21.  He has 5 BOG's. 1 second BOG.ie  17 Brownlow votes.  He has 33 'minor' ca votes which might be good for a few 1 Brownlow vote.  He will probably be BOG in rnd 23 but not get votes in rnd 22.   Again those BOG's will be tough for Oliver to overcome, if umpires follow coaches.

Thanks Luci. I think your analysis will prove to be pretty accurate.

Would like to see a similar thing done for Trac, if you could please.

Here is Petracca and Gawn to round 21.

Oliver is by far our best chance.

Other Demon players to get a 10 for BOG are:  May * 2, TMc *1, Salem *2, Fritsch * 1.

Thanks Luci - wish I had this info before I placed money on Trac!

Next Year I'll do a running tally!

Just for fun I plan to overlay the Brownlow results for above players and see how close the umpires are to coaches.

If the AFL predictor is a guide then there will be a bit of divergence.

Anyone have any 'smokies'?

While not polling well with coaches Andrew Brayshaw has by some accounts had a very good year.

Would laugh if he came 3rd!!

  • 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.

    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.
