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. ✌🏻

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
