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

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
