THE AFL has on Wednesday announced the 2021 Charles Brownlow Medal Count will commence at 5:30pm AWST / 7:30pm AEST on Sunday September 19, broadcast live on the Seven Network.

2021 marks the 94th year the Charles Brownlow Medal will be awarded to the league’s fairest and best player with five state-based venues across the country set to host players for the count, including a Western Australian event held at Optus Stadium.

Invited players will attend the location closest to where they are currently residing.  

 

This is what the bye week was? For this? Sheesh

Generally the worst footy related entertainment of the year.  Will only be good if a dee wins.

 

It's Clarry's to lose.

1st Oliver

2nd Petracca

3rd Gawn

2 or 3 way tie with Oliver and or either Wines and or either  Bontempelli for mine!


Bont for mine. Mr Nice-guy. 

I don't understand why this isn't on the 12th or 13th to give the media time to focus on the brownlow winner.

Anyway I think the top 5 will be:
Wines
Oliver
Bont
Steele
Petracca

Ditto 

 

Would love to see Clarry win it. Deserving IMO.

But I think it will go to Wines. Apart from Boak he doesn't have the level of competition for votes that Clayton has with Gawn, Trac, Lever etc.

The way the umpires fawn over the Bont, you can already tell he's got it in the bag. 

Oliver will be lucky to finish top 3.


I'd expect Little Lord Fauntleroy of Essendon to poll well.  He played some outstanding games this year.

Oliver should win it but won't IMO.  Clarry isn't popular with the umps when compared to Bont.

Or as popular with opposition players evidently,  Wasn't even top 5 in the AFLPA MVP.  What an absolute joke. Talk about a popularity contest.

I think it's OK to be a hardcore, one-eyed, Demon fan and also be able to acknowledge that Bontempelli is a fantastic player who has had a very, very good year. 

Bont
Wines
Oliver

It’s gonna be one boring events. Two clubs with 75 people each who can’t drink and can’t mingle. Fun times. 
Brownlows are boring at the best of times. This will be a total hoot. Just hope Clarry is in the mix late to keep it exciting. 


Meggs anticipates Ollie Wines to vote very strongly but expects Jack Steele to surprisingly pilfer the Charlie. With 5 All Australians, Meggs can’t see one of Clarry, Trac, Gawn, Lever or May accruing sufficient votes to win it.  But he’s still hopeful one of them can…after all it’s the year of the Dees!

Why do you refer to yourself in the third person, Meggs?   

faulty was also a little surprised by this.

Not really fussed about a Brownlow Medal.

If Clayton Oliver, Christian Petracca or Max Gawn win one it would be nice. 

However, I would much rather prefer them with Premiership medallions and one of them winning a Norm Smith Medal though!

Its true really, we all remember what happened a week later when Woewodin won the Brownlow in 2000...

TBH Clarry had the un/fortunate challenge of being surrounded by Tracc/Gawn/Viney who most certainly challenged his contributions. Having said that, ONLY a freak of competition like Oliver could have polled so well. Bont is the same in some regard, but not to the level that Clarry has done.

To stand out amongst the all-Australian talent within the team says something..

Ollie Wines for me, Bont second.

Clarrie will fly home in the last eight rounds but early on Tracc, Gawn, TMac, Lever, Salem and Langdon will have their fair share of votes.

I'll be shocked if Lever gets any votes. He should, but umpires seem incapable of giving votes to anyone who doesn't start in the middle of the ground.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
