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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
