Bontempelli would be a just and deserving winner. As long as itโ€™s not Daicos.

Bont will win and you watch all the Collingwood people say he won Daicos's Brownlow.ย 

ย 

If you're looking for a last foray of happiness in 2023, don't watch the brownlow.

I have produced a 99 page Brownlow Medal guide based on my model's predictions and 20,000 simulations of the model. You can download it from the following page:

https://www.wheeloratings.com/afl_brownlow.html

My model has Petracca 4th favourite to poll most votes at 17.0% (17.8% to win, ignoring ineligible players) and second favourite to poll in the most games.

I have Daicos favourite to poll most votes at 33.6% (35.6% to win) but unlikely to poll after round 18.

Here are my top 4:

Daicos 33.6% to poll most votes (35.6% to win)
Bontempelli 26.0% (27.5%)
Butters 21.6% (22.8%)
Petracca 17.0% (17.8%)

I plan on posting updated probabilities during the count under the following account on X/Twitter:

Just switch off all AFL related content Dlanders, you'll be much happier ๐Ÿ˜‰.

Wait for trade and draft periods.

Rinse and repeat in season 2024.

Don't stop hating the filth. โœŒ๐Ÿป

Daicos and the Bont donโ€™t have many taking votes from them. De Geoy a few but he only averaged 24 touches.ย 

Rozee will take votes off Butters abs Viney Gawn Clarry will take votes off Trac

I would guess Bont to beat Daicos by 1 vote. Trac third

ย 

Surely Bont wins it as most of his teammates are spuds.ย  Other favourites will have their vote tally cannibilised by other good highly visible players.

Dont care anyway. Who GAF. Petracca will probably be very deflated on Brownie night. Good.Suck it up.

Would be vomitous if Daicos manages to pull it off. Cripps then Daicos.ย  Oh FFS.

AFL Brownlow Predictor
32 - Lachie Neale
10 - Charlie Cameron
8 - Joe Daniher, Josh Dunkley

I guess he doesnโ€™t have too many others aside from McCluggage and Dunkley to steal votes away.ย 


Yracc had a good year but he seemed to fade away somewhat in several games at the end of this year. I thought with Daicos injured he may haveย  been a chance but he didn't really dominate from then on.

Does your model predict a total number of votes for Melbourne?

who have you got coming second for Melbourne out of interest?

ย 

Actually I found your report, itโ€™s bloody amazing!!!

Edited by Rossmillan

Look I actually like daicos. No issues with him, he seems like a really nice polite kid. But I don't want to start the week off with the filth having something to celebrate.ย 

We know only midfielders win this award. A shame really that's what it's turned into.ย 

I'll probably watch the end and see Gill get through it in his final one. I hope he gets annoyed with the room again and tells them to sit down like last yearย

The AFL employs the umpires. The umpires vote on the Brownlow. It is clearly wrong for the AFL to be making "predictions" on how many votes players might currently have earned. I know it's only meant to be a bit of fun, but it is clearly inappropriate.ย ย 

Of course no conflicts of interest anywhere in the AFL - nor in their partners, Sportsbet.ย 
And the votes are kept in a locked box and nobody has any idea about who is in the lead, especially the appeals board late 2022 - ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„

I'm not watching it. You guys can watch it like dorks if you want but I'm outta here.


I reckon Trac is going to poll quite well. Umpires like him a lot and without Clarry for an extended period he'll score more votes than expected IMO.

WTF???

Love Trac, but if you think heโ€™s Brownlow-worthy you havenโ€™t been watching a lot of neutral games.ย 

Trac is an excellent player. Very powerful and great in the contest. he can turn games.

But he butchers the ball regularly. Terrible set shot for an elite player. Bont or Daicos don't waste possessions at anything like the rate Trac does.

If you asked non partisan peeps and coaches who theyโ€™d want out of tracc bont and daicos #35 who would they say?

Theyd all want 2021 Grand Final Trac Iโ€™d reckon!ย

We want him too. I think im fairly settled on him being 70/30 forward mid. That is where games are won. As long as he gets the service heโ€™ll add influence games.

GUS has played some good footy since probably Rd17. I'd like to see how many votes he might have received from the umpires. Here is an old article from Fox Sports:

Melbourneโ€™s Angus Brayshaw finds the lighter side to his Brownlow Medal snubAngus Brayshaw wasn't even invited to the Brownlow.

MELBOURNE onballer Angus Brayshaw has cheekily thanked the AFL after his stunning third place in the 2018 Brownlow Medal.

Brayshaw was not among the five Demons players who were invited to Monday nightโ€™s black tie function.

Instead, Brayshaw watched the TV in a T-shirt as he polled 21 votes, only seven short of Hawthorn winner Tom Mitchell, while Collingwood onballer Steele Sidebottom was second on 24.

Brayshaw then went on Instagram, posting a photo of himself kissing a fake medal.

ย 

Trac's potential high possession 3 vote games in our wins:

Sydney - round 3

West Coast - round 4

North - round 7

Carlton - round 12

St Kilda - round 17

Brisbane - round 18

North - round 21

Sydney - round 24

I don't think he quite gets over the line this year.

Would need to vote well in his lower possession games and pull off some 2's and 3's in losses.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
