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.

Trac looked like he’d been dressed by Pee Wee Herman!

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 

TOUMPAS over Wines FMD

  • 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.
