I was just wondering what fellow Demons supporters thoughts are on who from the Melbourne Demons are a good chance to win the Brownlow Medal this year?

Personally, I think Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver would definitely be strong chances. I am slightly in favour of Christian Petracca due to his current line of form.

However, the sad fact is, the last time we had a Brownlow Medal favourite in Cameron Bruce back in 2005 he ended up with a brutally injured shoulder from a tackle by Brent Guerra from St. Kilda.

Anyway, as much as I would like to see another Melbourne Demons player win a Brownlow Medal (our last one being Shane Woewodin in 2000), I would much more prefer to see the Melbourne Demons win another Premiership.

Nevertheless, I am interested in hearing other people's thoughts on who they think is likely to win the Brownlow Medal in 2022.

 

It's interesting, the way they play, the way our gameplan works and the way the umpires tend to notice the midfielders, if they stay injury free and at the top of their game, they're both likely to poll 30 votes.

We should win 15+ games again. That gets them to 21 votes each (if they're the best on) and this not taking into account 2 and 1 votes or losses.

I can't see too many other players stealing votes off them in the team.  I think Gawn and Jackson will share the load more which means one will have to play a blinder to get a look in.  Defenders don't get votes (maybe Lever / Salem) and forwards have to kick 6+ or have a stack of possessions to have a chance.  Doesn't happen much in our team.  I can't see many of the other midfielders getting more recognition from the umpires than Trac and Clarry.

I would love to see them both win it - imagine if it happened in the same year!

 

Melbourne's 2021 Brownlow Medal Final Leaderboard

3rd Clayton Oliver – 31 votes
= 9th Christian Petracca – 23 votes
= 17th Max Gawn – 16 votes
= 40th Tom McDonald – 8 votes
= 68th Jake Lever – 5 votes
= 98th Bayley Fritsch – 3 votes
= 98th Luke Jackson – 3 votes
= 98th Jack Viney – 3 votes
= 132nd Kysaiah Pickett – 2 votes
= 160th Steven May – 1 vote
= 160th Christian Salem - 1 vote

 

Haha Salem - 1 Brownlow vote. 

Did more on the Big Day in Perth than some former Norm Smith medallists 

Trac is the best bet. Reckon he has 6 votes in the bag already so thats a big head start. Clarry wouldn't have polled against the Suns, not sure about the doggies game.


Unfortunately (or fortunately from a team perspective) me thinks they will be pinching votes from each other which will most likely prevent either from getting the chocolates.

Not to mention the likes of Max, Jackson, Fritta, Viney etc popping up occasionally.

I rate each of them about a 50% chance.

:laugh:

But seriously, Petracca after two games in 2022 is AVERAGING the numbers that were his very best games of 2021.

It is horrifying. He is the god of war come to destroy us all.

 

 

Trac must be on 6 votes, easily BOG round one and two. 

 

Trac seems like a man possessed at the moment. Reckon he wouldn't mind adding a Chas Brownlow to his trophy cabinet on the back of last year's Norm Smith & numerous other accolades. I'd be staggered if he's not already on 6 votes.


Nah Trac is only on 5 votes. J. Bowey, 3 votes

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
