    I've long been a fan of Brownlow night, but it is increasingly becoming a tiresome experience to sit through. Things I'm not looking forward to tonight include:

    • The boss's brother pretending he is best mates with all of the players: "Trac", "Bont", "Daics", "Crippa".
    • The collective circle jerk performed by the media every time a member of the Daicos family appears or is mentioned. 
    • Any segment created for the sole purpose of giving air time to Rebecca Maddern or Abbey Holmes.
    • Any "content" sponsored by the league's official betting partner.
    • Any segments involving Auskickers.
    • Any fan voted award that allows Richmond or Collingwood supporters to vote en masse for their favourite player.
    • The telecast going well past 11pm when it should be done by 10:30pm.

    All I want to see are some highlights from each round, the votes then a summary every 6-7 rounds, and a quick chat to 3-4 players. Should be done in less than 2 hours, including the winner's speech.

    As for the winner, hard not to see Bontempelli winning given Daicos was sadly injured late in the year.

    So it sounds like your pumped for the Red Carpet session Poita :)

    And the winner will always be a midfielder. Time for actual footy experts, not umpires, to hand out the votes.

    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.

    Still, Petracca has had 62 scoring shots to Bontempelli's 33.

    Over the last 2 years Petracca has had 50 more score involvements than the next best player, i.e. 410 to 360.

    Let that sink in.  Fifty more score involvements than the player coming second over 2 seasons.

    He gets marked harshly, Petracca.

    FWIW - strong tip that Petracca gets up.

    I’m not suggesting anything here.. Luke Jackson purchased a house for his mum and then requested a trade back to WA and moved into said home with his mum. Just saw he took his mum to the Brownlow. Totally unrelated, but I might watch the original “psycho” movie after the Brownlow.

    I would be VERY surprised if Trac is sub 25, let alone sub 20.

    Luke Jackson must be very inept with the ladies if he's bringing his mum to the Brownlow.

    Is every channel seven "personality" doing an opening speech? Revolting. I think I'll turn off the radio and follow the tracker instead.

    Hey! Let’s pick on one of the rare WAGs who isn’t botoxed to the eyeballs, who isn’t wearing makeup that was put on with a trowel and who clearly hasn’t troubled a cosmetic surgeon. Way to go 👍🏽

    The umpires award. Who gives a rats. A lot of umps haven’t even played the game 

    MVP and coaches award a lot more meaningful. 

    Still, Ill be happy for Trac if he gets up

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
