There are other Brownlow predictors. This one is on Betfair which seems to use the ESPN model which is explained below. https://www.betfair.com.au/hub/sports/afl/brownlow-medal-predictor/ ESPN is once again giving you an advantage with Jake Michaels' one-of-a-kind predictor, which has correctly picked seven out of the past eight winners, including Ollie Wines in 2021. Most Brownlow Medal predictors use a standard 3-2-1 voting structure, mirroring what the umpires do after each game. ESPN's system, however, does things a little differently. A player can be allocated 3, 2.5, 2, 1.5, 1 or 0.5 votes per game, resulting in a much lower margin for error. For example, in a game where it's difficult to split two players for best on ground honours, this system would give each 2.5 votes, as opposed to one being given 3 and the other receiving 2. Over the course of the season, the difference between the predictor and the actual votes a player tallies will be much closer, and therefore more accurate. There are still six votes allocated to players per match, and can be done through any combination of the above scores. I prefer this model because it makes my pre season Melbourne Premiership/ Petracca Brownlow wager look a lot better. 😉

A positive would be getting him and get a hundred games into him so we can get the next generations of Silvagni's under father-son. A fear would be for WCW and the Demon Army. Would he be too taxing on their already fatigued salivary glands? There is a limit to how much one can drool before becoming dehydrated. 🙄

IF Grundy goes, Jack would be perfect as an Unrestricted FA option. Always liked him as a player. Would certainly be a better fwd/relief ruck option than we currently have. I prefer to keep Roo as a permanent forward. One question I have is, if he were called upon as a injury cover for Max mid/long term, could he do it? I would think we'd still need a genuine first ruckman on our list.

Nothing that involves humans is predictable. They have always confused me.

He is why I became a member 45 years ago. I cried like I'd lost a brother when he left us. I still grieve. You'd swear football was an art when he played. A truly unique player who will never have a peer in my eyes. God, I miss him.

Pies playing bruise free footy.

After a bad start to the year, the Tigers have been OK I think. The AFL did them no favours yesterday and it wouldn't surprise me if they knock over the Saints next Sunday, like they did 7 weeks ago.

This ^ Completely unnecessary for Richmond to play on a Friday after a Sunday game. Why?

You had me until you said you could shut Basil up 😏

Maybe contact the club to see what can be done. Failing that, I'm sure one of the wonderful Demon Army that post here can give you some tips. Even if by DM. Good luck.

I blew up about this on Demonland when it happened. I was so angry that I was witnessing the deliberate creation of an unsafe work environment. All for for the sake of winning a game of football. I would not let my son be drafted to that club and would take legal action to prevent it. I'd be confident on what we witnessed that I'd win the case in a court of law. We have seen the tactics they use to target Max. There is no duty of care in anything they do. I'd suggest there are many lawyers salivating at the prospect of the AFL being soft on this because if they are, we won't have an AFL at all. At least not a game we will recognise.

To do nothing, the AFL would be taking its greatest ever risk in its history.

My ladder predictor has blown up!

Port want to play him next week, f*@k potential long tem health concerns. The AFL has to come down hard on Port. Putting the competition in jeopardy. Yes I'm serious.
-
The decision to let Alir back on and Jones not yet ruled out will be the biggest news of the round I expect. Impossible for me to believe these blokes are truly OK. Watch this space.

No it's not. The Premier gets last pick, no matter where they finished at the end of the home and away and so on. The final order is post finals. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-2022-afl-draft-20221115-p5byco.html

Why does everyone believe we will have pick 15? It's going to be pick 18. Have faith, people!!

If I had to chose between watching Footy Classified and a lobotomy, I'm chosing the latter. At least I'd have some of my brain left afterwards.

Until this, I wouldn't have given Kane the time of day. This has changed my view of him. It's 10.54 a.m. Kane

Petty was very good up forward in his last match before injury. We will definitely see him there again at some stage.
