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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
