Last time we had a brownlow winner in the GF was Woey and we finished second. If we get the winner this year we could even it up to 15 all 

Malcolm Blight gave his tip for the brownlow this morning on SEN and his ti[p was a draw. Olly and Trac and he was serious, said it would be the first time two players from the same club have tied in the award.

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 suppose I could look this up, but who was the last player to win the Brownlow when his team didn't make the finals? I'll open the bidding with Bob Skilton, but I assume there have been others since then.


For the first time in VFL/AFL history two players from the same club tie - Oliver/Petracca.

(Haha - I think - ET)

Anyways, if it happens, I wouldn't mind it being Bontompelli and Macrae - for them, the distraction, and for Oliver and Petracca, the extra, 'we'll-show-'em!' spur!


Sorry to burst your bubble. 
Trac and Clarrie joint runners up. 
Max gets the 3 versus Geelong and wins by one -last vote of the night

most fair result seems to be a 6 way tie between Oliver, Petracca, Bont, Wines, Steele and Gawn

Christian Petracca/Clayton Oliver $26.00 if you want to take it.

The man is left field for sure.

But let’s also remember, his lateral thinking on occasion has paid off in spades!


Footscray can have The Brownlow as a distraction. I am only interested in next Saturday 

The Brownlow means nothing to me ever since Dipperdemenico won it in 1986

Since when was that Thug ever the Fairest Player in a season??

Absolute waste of time

I'm interested in how MFC players scored in the Brownlow in our 10 Premierships in 25 years (1939 - 1964).

1939 - Jack Mueller eq 10th (* ineligible)

1940 - Ron Baggott eq 10th

1941 - No MFC player in top 10

1948 - Alby Rodda eq 10th

1955 - Denis Cordner eq 4th

1956 - Ron Barassi eq 4th

1957 - John Beckwith 6th

1959 - Bob Johnson eq 7th

1960 - John Beckwith eq 5th

1964 - Hassa Mann eq 8th

... and some wonder why we have a such a deep-rooted disrespect for umpires' judgement!

Out of sheer desperation my friends and I are playing a drinking game tonight where we drink every time our club’s Brownlow favourite gets a vote. 
My friends barrack for Essendon Carlton and Sydney. 
I’m going to be plastered.

 

TBH I had forgotten it was on after having spent most of the day looking at the nuances (or lack thereof) of Dan's plan.

Good luck young Oliver but I expect he may have too many team mates pulling votes off him.

It will be sweet if we top the team votes. Not sure if we have done that since the glory days.

Lots

Peter Moore did it for us.

In the old days players from lesser clubs were often favoured as they had less competition from team mates. Not sure why that has turned around but I suppose the game does not allow individual dominance like it once did.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
