Laughing at a mental image of Meggs speaking like Yoda....

On another note, I hope that Gil, if he's reading the votes, doesn't fall into that "Melbourne,  C...............Oliver/Petracca" garbage.

    Assume the lads will organise for the smart suits or at least trendy looking smart casual gear for the Brownlow. I’m sure Langers and Trac as MFC “fashionistas” will set the standard. 
     

    Also can someone help Clarry prepare an acceptance speech, just in case he nails it!!!

    My guess is it will be Bont, as Oliver, Trac and Max take too many off each other...

    Just as Trac and Max take votes away from Oliver, McRae and Libba will take them away from Bont as well. 

    its well know that the AFLCA award is the one that has the most meaning behind it as the others namely AFLPA & Brownlow is compromised somewhat.

    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. 

    My wife and her sister only watch it for the red carpet gowns. I'm not sure there will even be that this year.....

    The AFL are going to look a bit silly having a two week break between the Prelims and the Grand Final with only this snooze fest to keep people interested.

    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 Meggs is still hopeful one of them can…after all it’s the year of the Dees!

    Missed one!!!

    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 only reason that Clarrie might not win the Brownlow - we are full of great competitors in this very special year, robbing one another of the alleged votes. Still, that combination dominated the season from start to finish, and will again in the GF. Lever could be thrown into this mix, as well.

    Anyone else feel that Petracca is a good chance? Even thought about putting something down with his odds today.

    I know the two midfield studs are going to steal votes off each other (along with ol Rick and Gawn as well). But I just feel Trac sticks out more with is explosiveness. He accumulates a lot of ball and how he uses his body to break games open is just incredible.

    Anyway its unlikely but I just have a feeling he's closer then others think

    Agree. He’ll poll more than Clarry, just because Umpires.

    Lately the WAGS have, in general, been getting better style advice. Which is a shame; it was much better when it was much worse!

    Agree. Trac showed last year that umps notice his breakout and burst clear style. He also loves a goal which gets the umps attention.

    Yep. Trac has kicked 27 goals for the year, leads the league for score assists, and is the forward mid having the most impact on the scoreboard. I think he’s a big chance, had a better year than last year on stats and team has won many more games.

    I chucked some cash on him a while back so hopefully I’m right!

    Gill's sense of humour:

    C.........................................Oliver

    C.........................................Petracca

    C.........................................Salem

    C.........................................Spargo

    This has been happening as far back as the 70s when Jack Hamilton would read the votes with a smirk on his dial.

    Back then, the votes weren't read out sequentially round by round like they are today.  Instead, they were checked beforehand and stacked so a stage-managed close finish could be manufactured every year.

    I reckon Bontempelli wins it, which might be a good omen because from memory when the Brownlow winner has come from a GF team, that team hasn't general won the game

    I'm not a big believer in good teams stealing votes off each other.

    Simon Black did ok when accompanied by Voss, Aka and Nigel Lapappin.

    Judd did ok when he was accompanied by cousins, Kerr and Cox

    Hopefully Oliver wins but I'll be more pleased with a norm smith.

    In 1954 Peter Box won the Brownlow and Footscray won the premiership.

    In 1966 Ian Stewart won the Brownlow and St Kilda won the premiership

    In 2001 Jason Akermanis won the Brownlow and Brisbane won the premiership

    In 2002 Simon Black won the Brownlow and Brisbane won the premiership

    In 2009 Gary Ablett Jr won the Brownlow and Geelong won the premiership

    In 2017 Dustin Martin won the Brownlow and Richmond won the premiership

    These are some of the Brownlow winners on the top of my head

    Sometimes players win the brownlow and their team does not even appear in the finals or if they do they don't play in the Grand Final

    I remember there being a few years where the brownlow winner was on the losing team, i think in 05,06 Cousins and Goodes won and played in losing teams, i might be wrong but i remember reading it was a bit of an omen

    Loaded up on Trac to be winning after 5 and 10 rounds. And also Clarry to poll most in the last 8 rounds. Very juicy odds!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
