They’ll never make it enforceable because the bookies get more knowledge than the punters. And if you’re a punter, deal with it 

It's an ethical thing and everybody should be entitled to the same information. Its the bookies job to use the information better.

I very rarely bet on footy but I had a fair whack on Oliver to get most Brownlow votes for Melbourne in his 2nd season at 150-1 and bookie banned me.

Although Jake wasn’t our best performing Casey player at the time, he was identified as the player to assist us with that given his disposal, footy smarts and ability to win a one one contest. Immediately we started kicking higher scores.

The rest is history…

FMD who was the best performing Casey player at the time? If he is better than Bowey bring him in. Petracca and Oliver might need to watch their back.

I don't care how many games Selwood has captained. I've never seen Neitz, Jones, Gawn snipe lick that in their career, letalone a quarter.

And to make it worse he ducks himself.

How are those two things anyway related?

If I want to bet on a player winning on the rising star or Brownlow the information is very important.

If I want to bet on Melbourne to win the minor premiers and they aren't transparent with an injury to Oliver it effects the fairness.

If the AFL are going to take a fortune from gambling agencies they should be obliged to enforce transparency of clubs reporting on injuries.

Petracca - wasn't moving freely

Weid - changed my mind

It's a bit stiff when you have played 9 games, never lost, had 2 rising star nominations, won a premiership and they start you on the bench.

Viney doesn't need to tag but he does get the opposition through attrition.

Harmes is our best tagged but why would you rob Peter to pay Paul? We have the best midfield in the league.

I laugh at anyone who thinks our first Premiership Captain in 57 years is struggling.

The ball was slippery when we played the Gold Coast last week

Tom Scully says hi

Tom Scully measured up to Luke Jackson's knee in height and ability. All he could do was run and positive lingers can do that and is a better fit for the team.

If he doesn’t get the nod this week the panel have zero brain cells. What a gem we’ve got here!

I wanted to load up on Bowey but the best player doesn't win.

Daicos is a moral because of name. Don't get me wrong he is a good footballer. But there is no way for AFL PR it goes to Bowey over Daicos.

At 1.50, what happened to this aggression? Think we all thought we had a player on our hands after this game. Has been ‘almost’ taking marks ever since.

To be eligible for nomination, the player must be under the age of 21 at 1 January that year, and have played ten or fewer AFL games as of the start of the season. A player can only be nominated once per season; if a player is suspended during the season, he may be nominated, but will not be eligible to win the award.

I ask " Why not" ?   He qualifies.

Is it too early to call JVR the first player to win it twice?

If he dominates the last 9 games and wins it, I still think he is eligible the following year under the criteria.

Bowey - on different planet

Bowey already looked the goods then with Salem out he just went to another level.

I'm in a very blokes group chat with mates I've had from the 80's.

If any of them posted that content

1) I'd make sure we got it removed

2) I'd be asking my mate wtf was that and making sure he understood that it wasn't funny

Nothing at all. The silence coming from my corner these days is deafening 

I must admit I got alot of love from mates in the lead up and following the premiership.

I was arguing we were going to win the premiership every year for 20 years straight and then when I realised it was likely last year I shut up and nobody could believe it.

I am getting baited about back to back and a dynasty now. I'm staying quiet again for the same reason.

Txt to my cousin who barracks for Geelong

You guys were good. Could even finish 2nd this year.

What I am feeling really weird about is sending messages to Carlton and Collingwood mates to congratulate them and they all write back that they have nothing on Melbourne.

Every single one of them. I'm not used to it.

31 votes last year and 3rd place. Not sure I agree.

He should have got more. Won the coaches award  just 1 vote short of the record.

The umps don't like him he was by far the best player in the league last year.

Petracca or Gawn could win but Oliver won't.

Hunty should have got a vote for his attack on the ball and Daniel’s!!!!!

Has anyone got footage of Hunt smashing Daniels?

That is heart and soul type football.

Oliver had what 7 or 8 free kicks paid against him for iffy infringements and yet when he was infringed against...... Play on. CLUB might need to make representations to AFL if this continues

I don't think he is ever going to win a Brownlow, despite being the best player in the league. The umpires hate him.

May the swagger continue.

I  haven't watched any  the presenter has done with the other clubs but he seems to have a genuine enthusiasm for Melbourne.
Makes me wonder if he's a supporter.
Does anyone know who he is or if he is one of us?

I've thought the same.

I'd look at AVB if he is fit.
