That is the biggest load of BS for a brown low medal.  Umpires cannot get it right.  It's getting worse by the year.

    But hopefully an omen for Saturday 'Collingwood' falters in the last, to be run over by 'Brisbane'

    Just [censored] off. When you think you can’t hate the AFL anymore you watch this waste of time 

    Meh ... I just tune in at the end.
    But even the last 10mins I won't get back.

    Does anyone really think Neale had a Brownlow quality season?

    To me he was mostly average in a great side.

    All we need to do is not release the coaches votes every week and bang! We have a much more meaningful award to celebrate at the end of the season.

    What a joke!!! He did nothing all year, not AA............I hate this rubbish. Bont would have been a much better winner.

    He's second half was ok but was going to get dropped at one point.

    If Gulden was a Daicos, he would’ve got the 3 votes in the last round. Two goals and 42 touches is a Nick Daicos 3 vote game every day of the week.

    Neale was average. Nothing given to Dunkley or McLuggage etc

    Add neale to the accumulators like Mitchell, Priddis etc. 

    Curnow had twice the year Neale did and wouldn’t even be in the top 25

    100% 
    Gulden deserved 3. Trac 2. 
    How did Trac get 0 votes for this game and his game against North? Absolutely putrid.

    Far out! That was frustrating!

    Jack Viney 3 votes against Sydney was a mystery.

    Angus Brayshaw 3 votes against North Melbourne was also bizarre.

    But oh well.

    Lachie Neale from the Lions is a well deserved winner.

    Pretty confident Christian Petracca will win the Demons' Best & Fairest this year though at least.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
