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!

    No love for Gawn?

    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!

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
