Bontempelli would be a just and deserving winner. As long as it’s not Daicos.

Bont will win and you watch all the Collingwood people say he won Daicos's Brownlow.

    If you're looking for a last foray of happiness in 2023, don't watch the brownlow.

    I have produced a 99 page Brownlow Medal guide based on my model's predictions and 20,000 simulations of the model. You can download it from the following page:

    https://www.wheeloratings.com/afl_brownlow.html

    My model has Petracca 4th favourite to poll most votes at 17.0% (17.8% to win, ignoring ineligible players) and second favourite to poll in the most games.

    I have Daicos favourite to poll most votes at 33.6% (35.6% to win) but unlikely to poll after round 18.

    Here are my top 4:

    Daicos 33.6% to poll most votes (35.6% to win)
    Bontempelli 26.0% (27.5%)
    Butters 21.6% (22.8%)
    Petracca 17.0% (17.8%)

    I plan on posting updated probabilities during the count under the following account on X/Twitter:

    Just switch off all AFL related content Dlanders, you'll be much happier 😉.

    Wait for trade and draft periods.

    Rinse and repeat in season 2024.

    Don't stop hating the filth. ✌🏻

    Daicos and the Bont don’t have many taking votes from them. De Geoy a few but he only averaged 24 touches. 

    Rozee will take votes off Butters abs Viney Gawn Clarry will take votes off Trac

    I would guess Bont to beat Daicos by 1 vote. Trac third

    Surely Bont wins it as most of his teammates are spuds.  Other favourites will have their vote tally cannibilised by other good highly visible players.

    Dont care anyway. Who GAF. Petracca will probably be very deflated on Brownie night. Good.Suck it up.

    Would be vomitous if Daicos manages to pull it off. Cripps then Daicos.  Oh FFS.

    Ouch …

    AFL Brownlow Predictor
    32 - Lachie Neale
    10 - Charlie Cameron
    8 - Joe Daniher, Josh Dunkley

    I guess he doesn’t have too many others aside from McCluggage and Dunkley to steal votes away.

    Yracc had a good year but he seemed to fade away somewhat in several games at the end of this year. I thought with Daicos injured he may have  been a chance but he didn't really dominate from then on.

    Does your model predict a total number of votes for Melbourne?

    who have you got coming second for Melbourne out of interest?

     

    Actually I found your report, it’s bloody amazing!!!

    Look I actually like daicos. No issues with him, he seems like a really nice polite kid. But I don't want to start the week off with the filth having something to celebrate. 

    We know only midfielders win this award. A shame really that's what it's turned into. 

    I'll probably watch the end and see Gill get through it in his final one. I hope he gets annoyed with the room again and tells them to sit down like last year

    The AFL employs the umpires. The umpires vote on the Brownlow. It is clearly wrong for the AFL to be making "predictions" on how many votes players might currently have earned. I know it's only meant to be a bit of fun, but it is clearly inappropriate.  

    Of course no conflicts of interest anywhere in the AFL - nor in their partners, Sportsbet. 
    And the votes are kept in a locked box and nobody has any idea about who is in the lead, especially the appeals board late 2022 - 🙄🙄🙄

    I'm not watching it. You guys can watch it like dorks if you want but I'm outta here.

    I reckon Trac is going to poll quite well. Umpires like him a lot and without Clarry for an extended period he'll score more votes than expected IMO.

    Love Trac, but if you think he’s Brownlow-worthy you haven’t been watching a lot of neutral games.

    Trac is an excellent player. Very powerful and great in the contest. he can turn games.

    But he butchers the ball regularly. Terrible set shot for an elite player. Bont or Daicos don't waste possessions at anything like the rate Trac does.

    If you asked non partisan peeps and coaches who they’d want out of tracc bont and daicos #35 who would they say?

    Theyd all want 2021 Grand Final Trac I’d reckon!

    We want him too. I think im fairly settled on him being 70/30 forward mid. That is where games are won. As long as he gets the service he’ll add influence games.

    GUS has played some good footy since probably Rd17. I'd like to see how many votes he might have received from the umpires. Here is an old article from Fox Sports:

    Melbourne’s Angus Brayshaw finds the lighter side to his Brownlow Medal snubAngus Brayshaw wasn't even invited to the Brownlow.

    MELBOURNE onballer Angus Brayshaw has cheekily thanked the AFL after his stunning third place in the 2018 Brownlow Medal.

    Brayshaw was not among the five Demons players who were invited to Monday night’s black tie function.

    Instead, Brayshaw watched the TV in a T-shirt as he polled 21 votes, only seven short of Hawthorn winner Tom Mitchell, while Collingwood onballer Steele Sidebottom was second on 24.

    Brayshaw then went on Instagram, posting a photo of himself kissing a fake medal.

    Trac's potential high possession 3 vote games in our wins:

    Sydney - round 3

    West Coast - round 4

    North - round 7

    Carlton - round 12

    St Kilda - round 17

    Brisbane - round 18

    North - round 21

    Sydney - round 24

    I don't think he quite gets over the line this year.

    Would need to vote well in his lower possession games and pull off some 2's and 3's in losses.

    • 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.
