I give 0 [censored] about this award. I’m just confused how the umpires can get it so wrong. 
You can give 2 out of 3 votes to players who played for a team that got comprehensively beaten by 41 points. It just doesn’t make sense. 
Yet Touk Miller clear BOG in an 11 point loss to the Dogs not one vote. 
Umpires are lazy. May didn’t poll a single vote (?), Lever with 5. Arguably our most influential players. Lever with the most intercept marks ever taken in the history of the game. Salem was superb in the first half of the season. One vote. 
Walsh with so many votes in a losing team. 
It’s a popularity contest.

    why was Wines the only port player with their partner with them?

    I heard a port player say the players that got invited chose to take some of there teammates over for a bit of a holiday for them. Well I'm pretty sure that's right

    Honestly I think the umps would prefer not to have the job of deciding the Brownlow. 
    It beggars belief that the most prestigious award in the game is voted on by semi professionals.

    100% should be voted on by the coaches or an independent panel like the AA team. 
    Umpires don’t know anything about the game beyond the rules. And even that’s questionable. 
     

    Edit: Tmac polling more votes than Lever, May and Salem combined tells you everything you need to know.

    I don’t recall Ed Langdon or Angus Brayshaw’s names being called out much either, if at all. They are fundamental to our games. Langdon, in particular, should catch the eye.

    The problem is that the way the game is played these days, the Brownlow is made for midfielders and bad luck if you’re a defender.

    Stupid award. Steven May 1 vote. 😂 Wines did not have his best year and did not deserve it. I think Clayton will win it sometime in the next few years. Hopefully that Marcellin chump Bont never does!

    On another note I just flicked over to fox footy & they replayed the 2018 gf. Ha the last 2 minutes was great. I don't know what was better, Ed being disappointed or bucks having his head in his hands after the siren. 

    Anyway now the Brownlow is over it means the big one is next & the nerves are going to start to kick in for us supporters

    Sad to read Steven May is just the 160th best player in the competition but I’m glad we have some others who can pick up the slack for him.

    Congratulations Ollie Wines, great season.

    A friend messaged me to say “Wines wins Brownlow and you got Toumpas”

    Pretty easy to guess what I said next.

    Correct??? Because its true. One of the most monumental stuff ups if not THE MOST monumental recruiting stuff up Ever

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
