Christian Petracca a chance to win the 2023 Brownlow Medal?

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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
