maximum bob 462 Posted August 26, 2021 Author Posted August 26, 2021 Well we always wish for the best don't we. Premiership, Brownlow medal and Rising Star. Dare to dream. 1 Quote
Supreme_Demon 4,144 Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) 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!

Lucifers Hero 40,733 Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 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. Quote
Mazer Rackham 14,972 Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 1. Miller (no one to take votes off him) 2. Bontompelli (the umpires pet) 3. Oliver (the best mid in the comp) Quote
In Harmes Way 7,870 Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 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. 5 1 1 Quote
roy11 4,076 Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 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. Quote
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted August 26, 2021 Posted August 26, 2021 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. 2 Quote

sue 9,277 Posted August 27, 2021 Posted August 27, 2021 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. Quote

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. 1 Quote

Little Goffy 14,966 Posted August 27, 2021 Posted August 27, 2021 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. Quote
