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

    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

    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!

    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
