    Was laughing at the Daicos missed votes earlier but I’m [censored] now. Tracc should have got atleast 2 vs North

    North game 2 and Sydney game 2 also.

    Robbed.

    They sure had that medal ready to go quickly in Brisbane.

    As good as it would have been for Trac to win, you've gotta feel for the Bont. Seriously dudded twice

    Dogs lost too many games in the end.

    Does anyone expect a fair count? The umps cannot get the basic decisions right, how can they adjudge the best player.. 

    Exactly. That's why the Brownlow is over-rated, on account of the fools that decide it.

    This award has lost its magic, but well done to Tracc and Vines. 

    AFL football has lost its magic.

    I hate the Brownlow these days. The wrong midfielder won it, again. Change the voting system. Why don't the clubs all make it an issue and get it done?

    24 votes for Viney is bloody fantastic

    4 umpires now. Surely it would be better if they should each give 3 2 1 votes without conferring with each other.   Better still to not use the umps at all.

    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.

    Gus had 37 versus North. He deserved 3. But Hunter and Fritta over Trac against North and Sydney is a joke.

    Good. Nick Daicos and his Dad give off 'Andy Murray and his mother' vibes. I prefer Christian and his nona. Less in your face.

    Trac fkking robbed in the last 7 rounds 

    the umps count touches not influence. they shouldn’t be allowed to check stats. If we had a fwd line and Trac played 70% midfield he’d have 34 votes easy

    Yes agreed, Trac's vote-getting drop-off coincided with him spending more time forward with the petty and melky injuries. Pretty rough because he showed extraordinary power in several games to turn things our way.

    So many cheap votes for Neale and so many votes robbed from Trac 

    Bont robbed. That 3 for Neale for a 20 possie game, when Kelly 42 and Coniglio 38 no votes is pathetic.

    2nd year in a row that 2 Dees the highest 2 from any club.

    Have said it for some time, the Brownlow is increasingly becoming a mediocre award to win. It no longer goes to the ‘best’ player in the league anymore.

    Melbourne players aside, the Bont had a much better year than Neale, as did Butters, Gulden and even Daicos.

    May as well call it the best midfielders award too btw.

    Until they stop the umps picking the votes this will continue to decline into an irrelevant award

    anyone honestly think they can be aware of who is playing well when there are 100 new rules and tweaks and coping abuse over the fence. and now with 4 you only see half the ground

    Trac's kicking for goal most likely cost him the medal.

    Rather he wins the Norm Smith again.  Didn't cost him that one.  Just needs another season like that.

    2 Norm Smith's Vs 2 Brownlows?

    Agree.

    Hunter.  Lots of nothing possessions.

    Fritsch played 5 minutes in the last quarter.  

    Trac carried us over the line in BOTH games

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
