Max still $51 for Brownlow. Am I the only one who thinks that's outrageous?

Was surprised as well, no one else will be stealing votes from him this year, unfortunately now you need so many votes too win you can’t get up with 20 something anymore

 

He could quite well have polled 10-13 votes in the last 5 weeks. 3s against Richmond, West Coast, Brisbane and Freo, maybe pinch one against the Hawks. He polls pretty well for a ruckman too. If he keeps this form up wouldn't be surprised at all to see him near the pointy end.

It's not, as sadly umpires have blinkers on when it comes to Brownlow votes. Only true mids win the award these days.

And I suppose the bookies also don't think Max can sustain this level of performance, which of course he can, and has done so 7 times before.

He does, though interesting that Xerri is the leader.

Completely agree.

He was $151 last week too!!

Nick Daicos is the fav at $5 despite his average form the last couple of weeks

Xerri having a great year, but Max has him covered in just about every stat you can think of bar tackles (easily) and clearances (just). I feel like Max's game would catch the umpires' eye slightly more as well, with the high marking. Along with the bald head/beard combo he's pretty hard to miss!

Xerri looks to be the one who'll take the mantle eventually, other than perhaps De Koning.

They might be picking two rucks in the AA this year.

Dont be surprised to see Cripps poll votes even in Carlton games he did not play due to injury

Neale will also get 3 votes for yesterday’s game

Not to mention " Mouse" Faicos

No love for Clarry IS surprising!

It's a midfielder's award. There'll be a few that'll get lots of votes where if you looked back at the specific games where it's obvious the umps have overrated their efforts.


Dees $101 for the flag, into Gawn $51 for the Brownlow, into Langford $7 for the rising star.

Could we, could we?

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
