Well we always wish for the best don't we.

Premiership, Brownlow medal and Rising Star.

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!

What Bob says ⬆️
And I hope we’re right! 😊


Oliver

Bontimpelli

Walsh

Oliver 
Bont

Throw a blanket over the rest.

1. Wines after Port lose PF

2. Oliver

3 Petracca 

both to enjoy an even better week

 

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'm going to go with a surprise option

1. Zach Merrett 

2. Marcus Bontempelli 

3. Ollie Wines

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

1. Wines

2. Bont

3. Oliver

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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
