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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
