The DR4 Brownlow Medal

Featured Replies

Posted

Havent given you guys an update in a while, so I thought I'd let ya know! The Cats are dominating the top of the leaderboard, with Gary Ablett in remarkable form and Jimmy Bartel still with a large amount of votes. Ablett holds a slim 3 vote lead over Bartel, with Brent Harvey of the Roos in close pursuit. Chris Judd, Scott Thompson and Dane Swan appear the only men likely to make a charge. I'll keep you informed!!

G. Ablett - 24

J. Bartel - 21

B. Harvey - 20

C. Judd - 17

D. Swan - 15

S. Thompson - 15

B. Johnson - 14

D. Kerr - 14

Best placed Melbourne player is James McDonald on 6 votes. Only 12 Melbourne players have polled.

ablett has it sewn up, cousins will get 3 this week for sure

what about sam mitrchell heard he is a chance

Yep, I gave Cousins 3, he was outstanding.

Sam Mitchell could be a chance, but I think too many of his teammates are going to take votes off him. Lance Franklin, Shane Crawford, Jordan Lewis, Luke Hodge are all good vote getters.

 
Seriously....where is chad cornes?

He would be up near the top

I was going to ask the same thing. I enjoy your Brownlow predictions DR4, and I haven't been keeping 3-2-1s, but if he's not up there given his dominance this season I'd be very surprised indeed.

Thanks Pantaloons, appreciate it. As for Cornes, he is polling well, he's actually on 14 votes but there are around 10 players on that number and I could not be bothered putting them all up there. In the real thing, he may be a big threat. Its his brother Kane who has taken quite a few votes off him.

out of interest, cousins won his year with 21 votes. you already have ablett on 24, with 6 games to go....

does anyone know the highest brownlow votes ever?

I was actually thinking the same thing. Last year I had Brad Johnson on about 24 with 5 games left and he only finished on 26 in mine. It seems to even itself out. Even so, for some reason I generally do get high scores.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
