Brownlow betting for 2008

Recommended Posts

Are there any bookmaker web sites that have odds for next years Brownlow winner up yet?

I'm going to load up on Trav for the Brownlow next year. He's going to carve it up for Brisbane, as he will only attract the 4th or 5th tagger after they tag Lappin, Power, Black etc., as opposed to having the best tagger each week at Melbourne.

I hope they have also have the odds for who going to be our next coach because it's a well known fact that Bailey named Trav as definate trade bait during his interviews for the coaching gig. Bailey had better hope that his assessment of Trav form the other side of the SA border was accurate. Me think not!!

I wonder if there are odds on when this current board "lead" by the snow flake Gardner is going to be challenged............I'd give them 12-18 months.

Yeah good early bet on TJ would be a good one. I think Bailey has made the right call however, as sad as I am to see TJ go.

I agree he'll do well, and I hope he does.

That doesn't mean it was the wrong decision - you rightly point out that he would receive more attention at Melbourne - as our Premiership tilt isn't within the next two years.

Whether TJ does well for Brisbane is irrelevant.

While I won't go so far as to say TJ will win the Brownlow next year, I reckon he'll poll at least 15 votes. Jon Brown's Coleman Medal odds mst have shortened today. As we speak he's probably fashioning steel nipple-protectors in anticipation of TJ's laser passes.

Sure, a great move - Trade the only match winner on our list and state that a hack like Miller is untouchable.

PATHETIC!!!

Ok, I've now heard it said that Travis Johnstone is our only player who can deliver to the forward line, AND is our only match winner.

Christ on a Bike!

I s'pose we'd better get Pickett back in, too.

Travis Johnstone will be Brisbane's payback for dumping Aker on the Bulldogs.

I am in the camp that is sad to see Trav go and I think he will have a much easier footy career playing up in Brisbane as he will get the 2nd, 3rd or 4th best tagger each week. Although I don't think he will be outstanding as I still think he will be hit and miss with his form, you can guarantee that he will be arming the laser and hitting the J Brown's chest so accurately he will need nipple protectors as has been mentioned.

Surely J Brown will win the Coleman again just through sheer volume of delivery from all the Brisbane mid-fielders, but I also think that this will be Trav's best Brownlow polling year, but he might not lead the Lions in the count as they have other players to take the votes from him.

Interesting thought on how good he could be, but we have been saying that for a few years at the Dees too?

The load shifts a little off Simon Black, now that TJ is there.

Black nearly won the Brownlow without much notice or recognition of an outstanding year.

I think he may be a good bet next year.

But J.Brown may very well pinch Lots of votes off both.

It Maybe that the Lions could be having a good year.

A bet on Tj for the brownlow?

I have a better idea. How about you invest your money in the Melbourne Football club. Instead of paying out on what is now a DONE DEAL, move on with your life and give to the club.

If you really want to bet, how about you invest it in Shares, something that will have a chance at a return, instead of the absurd delusion that travis johnstone could actually win a brownlow.

For all the trapper sooks, a Brisbane membership is just a phone call away. And while you are at it, why not buy a WAFL membership, isnt woey buried in there these days??

What makes you think it's absurd?

TJ's still young enough to play to somewhere near his potential. In the past, he finished #4 in the Brownlow, so he can poll votes. It's likely another Brisbane player may be tagged, so TJ might find he has more freedom playing as Brisbane midfielder. Maybe he might even find himself an improved player with a new Coach and Club structure - I don't think we got the best out of him.

Stranger things have happened.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
