Oliver is twice the player Wines is. Easily

    I personally think Clarry is the best mid in the league , but I fear Trac and Gawn will take votes off him and make it difficult for him to win the medal.

    Having said that I put a nice bet on Clayton at the start of the season and will be riding him home.

    If not, then a Norm Smith medal will look just as good around his neck.

    We've been there before in 2018.  Gawn won the coaches award and should've polled better than he did (20 votes), but Brayshaw got 21 and Oliver 13.

    Trac could well be winning it at round 11. 

    Bont will pass him by round 20

    Clarry to come home strong and win it. His second half of the season was ridiculous

    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!!

    Not sure if you'd call them smokies, but Jack Steele and Sam Walsh have each had very good years with very few team mates likely to steal votes from them. I recognise that Weitering and McKay are likely to be all-Australians but as they are both key position players, I assume that won't translate into many Brownlow votes for either.

    If Touk Miller hadn't been suspended, I would have included him in this group, too.

    The umpires [censored] up all weekend every single week. Why do we suddenly value their opinion and give this stupid award so much prestige on Brownlow night?


     

    If Oliver wins it’s a very great award.

    His game v Crows in Adelaide (a loss due to home-ground umpiring but hey - stick it up your woolly jumper) may well be one of the best of any player in our lifetime.

    If anyone else wins it'll be dead-set theft.

    Whenever we needed something this year it was Oliver that got us rolling near every time.
    He's a machine and his will to win is off the charts.
    I don't even care he's hack kick any more.
    Gawns had a quiet year and Tracs in and out of the game.
    By rights all things being equal Oliver should lead our side in the voting easily.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
