    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.

    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

    • 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.
