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.Β

    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 πŸ˜‰.

    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.Β 

    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.Β  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.Β  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.Β

    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 haveΒ  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?

    Β 

    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.Β 

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

    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 yearΒ

    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.Β Β 

    Of course no conflicts of interest anywhere in the AFL - nor in their partners, Sportsbet.Β 
    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 - πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„

    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.Β

    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!Β

    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.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Β There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.Β Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • 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 β€˜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?
