Christian Petracca a chance to win the 2023 Brownlow Medal?

An interesting article here regarding Christian Petracca's chances of winning the 2023 Brownlow Medal.

For those interested, the link to the article by Damian Barrett can be found here:  https://www.afl.com.au/news/968337/barrett-cruel-twist-that-has-star-melbourne-demon-christian-petracca-on-track-for-brownlow-medal

 

I definitely think that Christian Petracca is a smoky to win it.

That is the one silver lining of Clayton Oliver being out injured, I guess. Although I would prefer them to steal Brownlow votes from eachother.

 

However, realistically, the Magpies Nick Daicos is probably the clear favourite for the Brownlow.

 

Nevertheless, I am sure Christian and the rest of us here would prefer he wins another Premiership Medallion and a Norm Smith Medal with the Melbourne Football Club.

    $6 for the win. 
     

    As good as Daicos is I reckon there is enough of an element in the football Public and possibly even the umpires minds, that he takes the easy receives and therefore possessions.
    The kid is a jet, don’t get me wrong. 
    Petracca while looking through my red and blue glasses, is the grunt player and his movement at stoppages and cat like instincts/movements is a pretty compelling example. 
     

    So at $6, who’s game?

    Daicos is a shoe in and deservedly so.

    Trac is always compromised by Oliver. 

    May should,but won't , get a swag of votes.. 2's and 1's at least

    Put $750 on for me and I’ll pay you out of the winnings

    Daicos would have to slow down and Tracc would have to barnstorm home, no C.Oliver would help him no doubt.

    Keep producing like Saturday night and anything is possible.

    That’s a bad gamble. 🤣

    This article is a load of [censored]. We've lost 3 of our last 6 games since Oliver's injury, which will cleave votes off Trac. Our form hasn't been scintillating either in that period, meaning even if Trac has played well, umpires will have cast some of the votes to the opposition.

    At least we know that he is not going to get a recall back from the old country at the end of the home games....

    Maysie won't get a swag of votes this year as his firm dad dipped earlier in the season and he has just in the last weeks regained his best vote winning ways.

    25 - Jordan Dawson (Adelaide)
    24 - Marcus Bontempelli (Western Bulldogs)
    23 - Zak Butters (Port Adelaide)
    23 - Christian Petracca (Melbourne)

    Trac would have to get votes v Kangas. But he’s likely to pickup too many 1s and 2s and perhaps again not the coveted 3s to win it. He went off on the last quarter v Kangas as a protective move (agree with Goodys move).  Perhaps an extra goal or two for the Trac might have been enough to get umps 3 imv.

    Jordan Dawson is my smokie. 
     

    At $21 I’m chucking a pineapple on him. 
    Also got a bet on Butters.

    Bont coming home strong and is favourite IMO. Trac in with a chance if he finishes the season strongly with a few 2s and 3s. Viney has been very good since Clarry went down and will get some votes too.

    If Taranto wins it, then just cancel the award. He's bog average. Racked up some big numbers, but in terms of impact you wouldn't have him in the top 20 midfielders in the league, let alone top 20 players. Definition of an accumulator with no hurt factor.

    Had a nice little collect on It'sourtime on Saturday, so it might be worth a pineapple on him @ 6 bucks

    Both have had excellent seasons

    Butters is lock for 3 votes against us

    So basically Mitchell 2.0 

    Bont or Trac deserve it purely for being elite for a long period of time and backing up over and over again (unlike Daicos... not yet at least). 

    Would be thrilled for Bont to win it, he is the most influential player in the game in terms of being able to impact mid and forward. Trac is a close second... if he can kick straight. 

    If Trac kicks a bag or two in the next 3 rounds he could pinch it. We could also have a tie.

    I've said all year that Bont will win it. Another AFL darling....but of course, he is an outstanding player. From memory he did turn the ball over quite a bit in the first half of the season, but the media are always right up his clacker.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
