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 

tried his guts out every week and lead from the front

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.

How did Trac get 0 for the last game?

He got 0 in the last 4 games go figure 

Edited by Demonsone

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

 

What did we think was going to happen? It's the AFL and the umpires after all

Small mercies, at least Diacos didn't win

Round 6. lions v giants

Best. Brisbane: Cameron, McInerney, Payne, Rich, Dunkley. 

3 votes L Neale !!!  20 possessions.  150 metres gained.

Yeah but I'm specifically talking about this one, a clear 3 voter for mine.

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

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
