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?

Edited by YesitwasaWin4theAges

Apologies for railroading this thread into punting talk! I know some don’t like it. Back onto the coaches award, I really wish this was the most prestigious award instead of the Brownlow. I feel like the wheel is turning in this regard, but the Brownlow still gets all the attention. Coaches opinion should far outweigh the umpires opinion.

In an unprecedented security breach, the Brownlow votes for our game v Brisbane have been leaked.

3 - P. Cripps

2 - N. Daicos

1 - L. Neale

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
