I reckon it is between Bontempelli and Daicos. Dawson from the Crows is a possible smokey. I suppose Neale also has a chance but he had a big potion of the season in unusually average form.

I can't see Trac winning it. He will receive a lot of 1 or 2 votes. He will lose votes to Oliver (early in the season) and Viney (who has been our best player IMO).

Taranto has had a very, very good year but not Brownlow worthy.

    This year is his chance with Clarry out for so long however I think Viney has had a better year thank Petracca.

    I think champion data or someone had Trac sitting 4-5 votes behind Daicos going into the last 2 rounds, you'd imagine he didn't poll last week so 3 votes this week is his only chance. I think its between Daicos and Butters.

    Any chance Christian Petracca might win the 2023 Brownlow Medal on Monday evening?

    He should finish in the top 5 at least?

    I stuck some on him at the season start. He’ll go close. I think win or close second

    I would love Tracca to win but wonder if his interactions with the umpires may preclude him from the number of 3’s he should get down to a 2 or 1’s. He had a ripper year most disposals, most score assists but failed on scoreboard pressure. I would be horrified if he isn’t top 3-5. He had a better year than the Bont and Clayton was out for 10 weeks.!!

    He shouldn't win it based on his kicking lately 

    He really needs to work on this in the off season, sometimes he goes for the harder option which in turn opens up the play in our favour but he has been shanking alot of them this season. His set shots you can see the stress in his face and his gone from a great kick for goal to average. That calming work he does isn't working IMO

    Daicos is already pencilled in if you believe Gil's hints on the Front Bar last night.

    I would advise any Demon who doesn't want to have a horror experience to not tune in to chanel 7 for the next 2 weeks.

    Gil wanted to go out with a bang and that's what he's getting, by hook or by crook.

    A big stinking discusting dirty filthy black & white bang.

    Tracs round 24 game V Sydney was brilliant. He essentially turned the game off his own boot.

    Im expecting that game will get him within 1-2 votes of the winner.

    With the luck the demons have had in the last month. He will be leading with two rounds to go and lose by one vote

    Never happier to ignore all AFL related content since we lost last Friday.

    Based on the comments about tonight's game, it looks very scripted doesn't it?

    Just waiting for the off season and draft.

    Tbh I feel like we never took a stand about Maynard sniping one of our best mids to get an advantage. Just thinking about it makes me upset. I wish the club took some kind of stand. Maybe abandon the Brownlow. Empty table. Petracca win it and not be anywhere. [censored] them. But melodramatic but so what

    I would admire the club very much if they tell both the AFL and the media to [censored] off and have an empty table on Brownlow night.

    But we both know it's not gonna happen, the club and the competition as a whole is very corporate aligned.

    But I will be happy if next time we face the thug and his mob, as I have said numerous times on Demonlad, May decks him hard (footy act of course).

    Bont. 

    I think Bont is a good thing. No stand outs this year. Oliver has been the standout best player in the league the past couple of years. However, Injury hampered him his year, as it did Daicos.

    I agree

    we allowed the media to defend him and made it about Maynard, as did gleeson

    I emailed Kate Roffey about it as I think it was really disappointing

    It’s actually making me rethink my membership next year 

    can you imagine Collingwood’s response had Greene knocked out Daicos?

    I put 100 on Tracc at 6s. I think he might pinch it by a vote. 
     

    Flopcos misses 6 weeks and the Bont plays in a [censored] side that lost half their games.

    The big worry is Butters.

    Bont has to be the favourite.   Stood out for the Dogs.  Likely 27 votes. 
     

    Daicos gets 25-26 votes.  
     

    Trac might end up around 23-24 depending on how they give him votes.  Should poll in 10-11 games at least so a big chance if he gets the 2s and 3s

    Bont is such a big name and presence on the ground now that the umps are just going to give him the 3 votes if there’s any doubt between the 3, 2 and 1. I think this is what gets him over the line. Heaps of 3’s. Frankly he deserves the medal - what a superstar over such a long period now. Has been the best performed player in the AFL over the past half decade. Bona fide Champion. 🏅

    That's what some of the media said. Why didn't Pert or even Roffey come out and say something after the Maynard decision. 

    Silence.

    Agree. Given the horror show of our last  month I somehow expect Nick Daicos to get 3 votes in our game against Sydney.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
