Dees after 4 games should again have a few players up in the votes. I’ll try to update weekly or periodic.  
 

v Swans 

Likely no Dees players get votes 

only JV7 could be considered for a vote 

v Dogs 

Likely votes 

M.Gawn 3 C.Oliver 2 S.May 1 

Trac might get a 1 vote 

v Hawks 

Likely votes 

C.Petracca 3 M.Gawn 2 B.Fritsch 1 

v Port 

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

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

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 it’s almost unanimous that the votes are headed by Trac.  For me it’s likely to be

3 C.Petracca

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

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, Trac also on 6-8votes and Clarry 2-3 votes.

Hope you are right. Max is still at 100/1 - same as Grundy which is ridiculous -  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.  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.  Gawn was clearly our best and may get a 1 vote but I think it’s unlikely.
Probably after 6 games, Gawn sits between 6-8 votes, Trac also on 6-8votes
 and Clarry 2-3 votes.

V Tigers. 

M Gawn 3 

S May 2 

T Rivers 1 

Probably after 7 games, Gawn sits between 9–11 votes, Trac also on 6-8votes , May on 3-4 and Clarry 2-3 votes.

V the cats, like to see either May or Lever in the votes.  With the Dees win, likely it’s 

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 2-3 votes.


We won’t be winning the brownlow and i couldn’t care less

we have 5-6 guns who take votes off each other which is great 

  • Author

V the AFL FAVOURITES Bluescum

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. 

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

Smashed by the Eagles in a very poor performance 

Eagles definitely will scoop up all the votes. 

Likely votes

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

2- T.Kelly.  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.  Dees players kicked it to him all night as if he was our key forward

or 

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


  • Author

It’s another 3 votes for Max Gawn surely.

I think it’s likely 

3- M.Gawn 

2- J. Viney 

1- C.Petracca 

maybe S.May for a vote 

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  

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

V Freo. Nil. 
V Pies. Nil. 
 

v Kangas.  3 votes for Viney, 2 LDU, 1 Rivers. May deserved votes but it’s always biased towards players in the midfield.  
 

The projected votes have

Gawn between 13-15

Trac around 9-10

May possibly 8 votes

JV7 possibly 7votes

AFL.com.au's Brownlow Predictor

22 Isaac Heeney (Sydney)
19 Patrick Cripps (Carlton)
18 Errol Gulden (Sydney)
17 Nick Daicos (Collingwood)
16 Chad Warner (Sydney)
16 Zach Merrett (Essendon)
15 Marcus Bontempelli (Western Bulldogs)
15 Lachie Neale (Brisbane)

  • Author

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

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


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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
