Christian Petracca a chance to win the 2023 Brownlow Medal?

Featured Replies

I have the following predictions for MFC

Petracca 19

Oliver 15

Viney 11

Gawn 8

Petty, Melksham 3

May, Hunter 2

Pickett, Grundy, Fritsch 1

 

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.

Strap yourselves in for the longest night of the year everyone...

They really love a TV ad channel 7.

I hope i don't have to see that pig Maynard on the TV screen.

How strong?

So does he.

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

Mum just making sure he doesn't try and move back 

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

I thought that was his identical twin sister.

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

Trac leading after round 4. Call off the voting now.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

  • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
