Christian Petracca a chance to win the 2023 Brownlow Medal?

I've long been a fan of Brownlow night, but it is increasingly becoming a tiresome experience to sit through. Things I'm not looking forward to tonight include:

  • The boss's brother pretending he is best mates with all of the players: "Trac", "Bont", "Daics", "Crippa".
  • The collective circle jerk performed by the media every time a member of the Daicos family appears or is mentioned. 
  • Any segment created for the sole purpose of giving air time to Rebecca Maddern or Abbey Holmes.
  • Any "content" sponsored by the league's official betting partner.
  • Any segments involving Auskickers.
  • Any fan voted award that allows Richmond or Collingwood supporters to vote en masse for their favourite player.
  • The telecast going well past 11pm when it should be done by 10:30pm.

All I want to see are some highlights from each round, the votes then a summary every 6-7 rounds, and a quick chat to 3-4 players. Should be done in less than 2 hours, including the winner's speech.

As for the winner, hard not to see Bontempelli winning given Daicos was sadly injured late in the year.

And the winner will always be a midfielder. Time for actual footy experts, not umpires, to hand out the votes.

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.

Still, Petracca has had 62 scoring shots to Bontempelli's 33.

Over the last 2 years Petracca has had 50 more score involvements than the next best player, i.e. 410 to 360.

Let that sink in.  Fifty more score involvements than the player coming second over 2 seasons.

He gets marked harshly, Petracca.

I’m not suggesting anything here.. Luke Jackson purchased a house for his mum and then requested a trade back to WA and moved into said home with his mum. Just saw he took his mum to the Brownlow. Totally unrelated, but I might watch the original “psycho” movie after the Brownlow.

Darcy Moore's partner looks like a blow up doll! 

Hey! Let’s pick on one of the rare WAGs who isn’t botoxed to the eyeballs, who isn’t wearing makeup that was put on with a trowel and who clearly hasn’t troubled a cosmetic surgeon. Way to go 👍🏽

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
