Christian Petracca a chance to win the 2023 Brownlow Medal?

[waynewussell 4,234]

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 :)

It'll be endless ads and boring speeches. Pass.

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.

[YearOfTheDees 3,142]

Lot of late money going on Trac.

[Return to Glory 7,846]

FWIW - strong tip that Petracca gets up. 

[Ethan Tremblay 28,827]

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.

Of course Luke Jackson brought his mum. Hard to understand his rambling mumbles

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

[Chook 14,701]

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.

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.

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

[Chook 14,701]

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