    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.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
