    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

    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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
