Dare to dream.

    I remember when Shane Woewodin won the Brownlow as a Demons player back in 2000. It was definitely a great honour and exciting to watch at the time. However, I am sure Shane would of given up that Brownlow in a heart beat for a Premiership medallion.

    Don't get me wrong! Brownlows are nice to win and a Demons player hasn't won a Brownlow since Shane did in 2000.

    However, I am sure Clayton Oliver, Christian Petracca and Max Gawn are more focused on trying to break our 57 year Premiership drought! We definitely have bigger fish to fry in 2021!

    I also think either Marcus Bontempelli or Ollie Wines will probably win the 2021 Brownlow anyways.

    2021 Premiership medallions are what the Demons need to be aiming for!

    If umpires follow the coaches we should know if Oliver can win after round 19 votes. 

    Bontempelli will be in front but he scored once in the last 4 rounds with 7 (4+3) votes so unlikely to get BOG.  Oliver's votes in the last 4 rounds: 9, 3, 0, 10. Possibly two BOG's?   Wines will be close @19 and his votes in the last 4 rounds:  6, 2, 2, 8.  

    I just hope the umpires didn't buy the media hype all year of how fantastic Bontempelli is - bit of a media darling.

    Oliver won the coaches award by quite a margin.  Lets see if the umpires do the same.

    If Clarry doesn't win it, being rated 15% better than anyone else in the league by all the coaches, then it's just another example of the umpires having NFI and reinforces why I yell at them for poor decisions every week.

    Clarry deserves it but a little concerned about some other Dees grabbing some of the votes off him.

    1. Ollie

    2. Bont

    3. Wines

     

    Seeing Wines up and about in these lists, I Can only think about Jimmy Toumpas.

    If Oliver doesn't finish top 3 it will confirm once and for all that umpires have NFI and should not be allowed to vote on such an individual honour.

    I think you will find the AFL can take votes off Miller.  He is ineligible having been suspended earlier in the season.

    I dont trust the umpires

    Isn't it true that typically the winner is rarely from a top club because team mates share the votes? So Oliver would be unlikely.

    This gets repeated all the time and it's complete bollocks.

    Since 2000: Neale, Tom Mitchell, Dusty, Danger, Fyfe, Sam Mitchell, Swan, Ablett, Bartel, Goodes x2, Cousins, Buckley, Aker, Black, Woewodin all won brownlows in top 4 sides. 

     

    Winning games >>>> teammates stealing votes.

    I don’t think Miller can win it with the amount of games they won

    Trawling through the coaches votes it is noticeable that Oliver was very frequently a 5+5 or 5+4 vote. Those very visibly and unanimous top games should have him up there.

    It's hard to see him winning though, simply because of the variety of other Demons who have had BOG performances, and the highly visibly games of the likes of Wines and Bont.

    Then you've got Jack Steele whose numbers are every bit as good and who has stood out by a mile at St Kilda. Their next best mid is well below him for stats and a whole other level below him for the mystical 'presence' and real impact on games. I'd argue that St Kilda would have been bottom-4 without him this year and there's about 8 games where he is probably BOG and another five where he was St Kilda's best.

    Anyway, on that basis I've got Steele stealing it (oh, no, the headlines, the headlines, no)

    1. Steele

    2. Macrae

    3. Wines

    4. Oliver

    5. Bontempelli

    6. Angus Brayshaw

    Melbourne will have the highest total as a club, cracking 80 and possibly even 90 votes total.

    As mentioned earlier, he is ineligible due to suspension.

      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.
