Refer below for the odds the Herald Sun have reported for 2008 brownlow betting.

This list triggered off a couple of questions in my mind:

1. Does Judd deserve to be outright favorite given his move to a side that is less likely to win as many games as the 2007 Eagles?

- I would have started Gary Ablett as favorite.

2. Given that not a single Demon has made this list - Who would have the shortest odds and what do you think they should be?

- Tough call; Based on last year, could throw a blanket over most of the team and give them 100-1

3. How on earth did Lance Franklin make it on to this list?

- Perhaps the Hawks faithful have a gambling culture similar to our recently departed.

2008 Brownlow Medal betting:

Chris Judd (Carlton) $10

Gary Ablett (Geelong) $12

Jonathan Brown (Brisbane) $13

Daniel Kerr (West Coast) $13

Adam Goodes (Sydney) $15

Sam Mitchell (Hawthorn) $17

Matthew Pavlich (Fremantle) $21

Jimmy Bartel (Geelong) $21

Simon Black (Brisbane) $21

Nick Riewoldt (St Kilda) $21

Andrew McLeod (Adelaide) $28

Dean Cox (West Coast) $31

Brent Harvey (Kangaroos) $31

Nick Dal Santo (St Kilda) $35

Lance Franklin (Hawthorn) $35

Luke Hodge (Hawthorn) $35

Scott West (Western Bulldogs) $35

The odds are always based on the previous year and players at clubs. Based on this, you would have to say Jones would be there and i recon at 60-1. Brock should be 80-1 too. My outsider chance at melb would be Pettard...watch this kid

The TAB has Brocky at $61 - the shortest odds for a Melbourne player. Following that is Bruce at $201 and then Junior at $251.

For Occo, you can have a piece of Ricky P at $1001.

My pick (out of MFC players) is Jonesy. Get on him for a place at $76, or, if you're ultra-positive, the win at $301.

I think Franklin deserves those odds. Hawthorn should win more games next season and Franklin could be pushing towards 90 goals next season with his rapid improvement. He will kick bags of 6, 7, 8 and probably have 1 game where he kicks 10 or more. 6 or 7 good games for franklin is 18- 21 votes right there.

If you're betting on the Brownlow now you are an idiot. Same goes for the premiership and the wooden spoon.

I've got a mate who writes reports on oppostion teams' game plans for Alastair Clarkson and he tipped Bartel to win the brownlow at 300-1 at the beginning of this season. He also gets foxtel as a tax deduction but that's another story...

Yep. I won't say I'm a fan of his, mostly because he doesn't wear the red and blue (though he barracked for us didn't he?), but this kid is, and has been for a while, something really special. When Johnno Brown starts to age and fade, or when he gets his next big impact injury, Franklin takes his place as the scariest CHF in the comp.

That said, Forwards don't traditionally win too many Brownlows. I wouldn't be punting too much on him, but yeah, I think you're nuts if you don't rate him.

Out of the Dees, I think Brock would be "facied" if you can call it that, as our best Brownlow chance. He seems to have a VERY strong reputation among opposition fans... But I don't know that he'd be within reach of a Brownlow with the list in the state it's in. After him, I'd say Bruce, despite all his misgivings in the last 2 years, deserves to be next.

    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
