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!

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
