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.

I have the following predictions for MFC

Petracca 19

Oliver 15

Viney 11

Gawn 8

Petty, Melksham 3

May, Hunter 2

Pickett, Grundy, Fritsch 1

I would be VERY surprised if Trac is sub 25, let alone sub 20.

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 👍🏽

The umpires award. Who gives a rats. A lot of umps haven’t even played the game 

MVP and coaches award a lot more meaningful. 

Still, Ill be happy for Trac if he gets up

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
