Dees after 4 games should again have a few players up in the votes. Iā€™ll try to update weekly or periodic. Ā 
Ā 

v SwansĀ 

Likely no Dees players get votesĀ 

only JV7 could be considered for a voteĀ 

v DogsĀ 

Likely votesĀ 

M.Gawn 3 C.Oliver 2 S.May 1Ā 

Trac might get a 1 voteĀ 

v HawksĀ 

Likely votesĀ 

C.Petracca 3 M.Gawn 2 B.Fritsch 1Ā 

v PortĀ 

M.Gawn 3. ANB 1 (Butters will probably get the two votes). Trac might squeeze a 1 vote but unlikely.Ā 
Ā 

so after 4 rounds likely Gawn to have between 5-7 votes, Trac 3-5 votes and Clarry 2-3 votesĀ

    Would be disappointed if ANB didn't get at least 2 votes - he repeatedly stood and delivered for us when the game threatened to go Port's way in the 3rd.

    Last night I think itā€™s almost unanimous that the votes are headed by Trac. Ā For me itā€™s likely to be

    3 C.Petracca

    2 J.Dawson - yes the umps were so crows biased, he will steal 2 votes šŸ˜”

    1 M.Gawn

    May or Lever or Mcvee could vote but backline players mostly get ignored

    so after 5 games, likely Gawn to have between 6-8 votes, TracĀ also on 6-8votesĀ and Clarry 2-3Ā votes.Ā

    Hope you are right. Max is still at 100/1 - same as Grundy which is ridiculous - Ā and I am on him.

    Gawn has managed double-figures Brownlow votes six times, including 20 in 2018. So it is possible.

    By the numbers this season you could realistically make the case that he is playing his best football. The only stat that he's down on is contested marks but that can be changed with one clunking game. His stubborn refusal to kick his 100th goal might be a problem.

    Every once in a while it blows my mind to reflect on how good Max is. He has been monstrously dominant in three games already this season and very, very good in another, but by the numbers this is all just normal.

    Anyway, currently on 99 goals, 97 behinds. Which will hit the ton first and will we all be storming the pitch? :D

    2 goals, 30 disposals, 7 tackles, seeing we lost it may not be as high on the list but should at least get 1 vote hopefully. Something like the below

    3 - Heeney
    2 - Grundy
    1 - Viney

    I think the Lions players will grab all the votes. Ā They were 8 goals up before the last 15 minutes saw the Dees actually find the footy in the contest and kick the last 4 goals. Ā Gawn was clearly our best and may get a 1 vote but I think itā€™s unlikely.
    Probably afterĀ 6Ā games, Gawn sits between 6-8 votes, TracĀ also on 6-8votes    Ā and Clarry 2-3Ā votes.Ā

    S May 2Ā

    ProbablyĀ afterĀ 7Ā games, Gawn sits between 9ā€“11 votes, TracĀ also on 6-8votes , May on 3-4Ā and Clarry 2-3Ā votes.

    V the cats, like to see either May or Lever in the votes. Ā With the Dees win, likely itā€™sĀ 

    3-S.May

    2- M.Holmes

    1- M.Gawn

    so projected votes have Gawn between 10-12votes, Trac around 6-8votes , May on potentially 6-7 votes and Clarry modestly on 2-3Ā votes.

    3-S.Walsh

    2- C.Petracca

    1- P.Cripps

    The projected votes have Gawn between 10-12votes, Trac around 8-10 , & May on potentially 6-7 votes.Ā

    If it was an award that wasn't exclusively mids then Max would be looking at top 3 right now behind Heeney and Merrett.Ā  He is having a superb season.Ā Ā

    Smashed by the Eagles in a very poor performanceĀ 

    Eagles definitely will scoop up all the votes.Ā 

    Likely votes

    3- H.Reid. Embarrassed our experienced gun mids. Ouch. Ā He bullied us without much of a whimper Ā Ā 

    2- T.Kelly. Ā Did Goodwin not see him clearly as someone to restrict. 30 possessions as he ran free (like Walsh did the previous week)

    1- J.McGovern. Ā Dees players kicked it to him all night as if he was our key forward

    orĀ 

    Jake Waterman might get the 1 vote with his 5 goals by strong marks & straight kickingĀ

    Itā€™s another 3 votes for Max Gawn surely.

    I think itā€™s likelyĀ 

    3- M.GawnĀ 

    2- J. VineyĀ 

    1- C.PetraccaĀ 

    maybe S.May for a voteĀ 

    I think the umps like and remember Mids who also kick goals. The goals and inside play get them votes ahead of strong defensive trio Ā 

    TheĀ projectedĀ votes have Gawn between 13-15, Trac around 9-10 , & May on potentially 7-8 votes. JV7 up to 4 votes likely. Ā Ā

    V Freo. Nil.Ā 
    V Pies. Nil.Ā 
    Ā 

    v Kangas. Ā 3 votes for Viney, 2 LDU, 1 Rivers. May deserved votes but itā€™s always biased towards players in the midfield. Ā 
    Ā 

    TheĀ projectedĀ votes have

    Gawn between 13-15

    Trac around 9-10

    May possibly 8 votes

    JV7 possibly 7votes Ā

    V Brisbane Lions. Ā Given the unfortunate loss, likely itā€™s 3 Dunkley 2 Pickett 1 McCluggage. JV7 could get a vote as he had another excellent game.Ā 
    Ā 

    Still guys like Daicos, Heeney, Cripps, Bont and Merrett are favourites this year at this stage. Ā

    If Patrick Cripps wins the Brownlow this year, I propose the AFL reinstate his suspension in 2022 so that Lachie Neale can get the Brownlow he should have won.

    Then, they can correct the preposterous 2023 result to say Bontempelli gets that Brownlow, and hey presto, peace justice in the world.

    Neale has the Brownlow he deserved, Bontempilli gets the Brownlow he deserved, and Cripps gets a Brownlow that isn't tainted by the second most obvious and consequential political distortion of the tribunal since the Barry Hall hit was cleared.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonā€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyā€™s three matches and, with Melbourneā€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekā€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardā€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnā€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Ā There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.Ā Since that game, the Demonsā€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyā€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
