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.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
