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

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
