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.

    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. ✌🏻

    3AW betting promoter saying one punter put $36,000 on Petracca to win it at 6.50 or something. Was it you @binman ?

    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.

    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 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.

    • 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.
