    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

    • 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.
