I reckon it is between Bontempelli and Daicos. Dawson from the Crows is a possible smokey. I suppose Neale also has a chance but he had a big potion of the season in unusually average form.

I can't see Trac winning it. He will receive a lot of 1 or 2 votes. He will lose votes to Oliver (early in the season) and Viney (who has been our best player IMO).

Taranto has had a very, very good year but not Brownlow worthy.

I think champion data or someone had Trac sitting 4-5 votes behind Daicos going into the last 2 rounds, you'd imagine he didn't poll last week so 3 votes this week is his only chance. I think its between Daicos and Butters.

Any chance Christian Petracca might win the 2023 Brownlow Medal on Monday evening?

He should finish in the top 5 at least?

 

I stuck some on him at the season start. He’ll go close. I think win or close second

I would love Tracca to win but wonder if his interactions with the umpires may preclude him from the number of 3’s he should get down to a 2 or 1’s. He had a ripper year most disposals, most score assists but failed on scoreboard pressure. I would be horrified if he isn’t top 3-5. He had a better year than the Bont and Clayton was out for 10 weeks.!!

He shouldn't win it based on his kicking lately 

He really needs to work on this in the off season, sometimes he goes for the harder option which in turn opens up the play in our favour but he has been shanking alot of them this season. His set shots you can see the stress in his face and his gone from a great kick for goal to average. That calming work he does isn't working IMO

Daicos is already pencilled in if you believe Gil's hints on the Front Bar last night.

I would advise any Demon who doesn't want to have a horror experience to not tune in to chanel 7 for the next 2 weeks.

Gil wanted to go out with a bang and that's what he's getting, by hook or by crook.

A big stinking discusting dirty filthy black & white bang.

Never happier to ignore all AFL related content since we lost last Friday.

Based on the comments about tonight's game, it looks very scripted doesn't it?

Just waiting for the off season and draft.

Tbh I feel like we never took a stand about Maynard sniping one of our best mids to get an advantage. Just thinking about it makes me upset. I wish the club took some kind of stand. Maybe abandon the Brownlow. Empty table. Petracca win it and not be anywhere. [censored] them. But melodramatic but so what

I would admire the club very much if they tell both the AFL and the media to [censored] off and have an empty table on Brownlow night.

But we both know it's not gonna happen, the club and the competition as a whole is very corporate aligned.

But I will be happy if next time we face the thug and his mob, as I have said numerous times on Demonlad, May decks him hard (footy act of course).

Bont. 

I think Bont is a good thing. No stand outs this year. Oliver has been the standout best player in the league the past couple of years. However, Injury hampered him his year, as it did Daicos.

I agree

we allowed the media to defend him and made it about Maynard, as did gleeson

I emailed Kate Roffey about it as I think it was really disappointing

It’s actually making me rethink my membership next year 

can you imagine Collingwood’s response had Greene knocked out Daicos?

I put 100 on Tracc at 6s. I think he might pinch it by a vote. 
 

Flopcos misses 6 weeks and the Bont plays in a [censored] side that lost half their games.

The big worry is Butters.

Bont has to be the favourite.   Stood out for the Dogs.  Likely 27 votes. 
 

Daicos gets 25-26 votes.  
 

Trac might end up around 23-24 depending on how they give him votes.  Should poll in 10-11 games at least so a big chance if he gets the 2s and 3s

Bont is such a big name and presence on the ground now that the umps are just going to give him the 3 votes if there’s any doubt between the 3, 2 and 1. I think this is what gets him over the line. Heaps of 3’s. Frankly he deserves the medal - what a superstar over such a long period now. Has been the best performed player in the AFL over the past half decade. Bona fide Champion. 🏅

That's what some of the media said. Why didn't Pert or even Roffey come out and say something after the Maynard decision. 

Silence.

Agree. Given the horror show of our last  month I somehow expect Nick Daicos to get 3 votes in our game against Sydney.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
