I know I could easily google this, but anyone know how many B&F's Viney has won? Reckon he's going to add to that list this year.

Adams ruled out.

Went to the round 24 Sydney V Melbourne game and there was absolutely no way I left the SCG thinking Jack Viney was the game winner and the difference maker to warrant him getting the 3 brownlow votes. Gulden 3, Fritta 2 and Trac 1 should have been the outcome.

Aside from those 2 blokes that ended up in the clink, did any VIC posters manage to legally get over to watch the game?

Generous. You'd imagine West Coast will be getting the same sort of gifts in 12 months time if they have another bottom 2 finish.

Neale wins another remote Brownlow.

Yes

Neale had 30 touches in the last game, a win.

Trac’s sub par game against Hawthorn could cost him dearly.

Viney 17 votes by only round 19. Great season.

Richmond, North and Carlton games he might scrounge some 1s and 2s.

In fairness I don’t think May did steal the votes that night. He was marking literally everything that came his way.

Lachie Neale $1.20 to win the thing. Trac $4.00 Does he really have that much a better round 15-24 than Trac?

Could Trac get 3 in our Carlton win?

He barracks for Collingwood and Carlton. He got one of his sides into the GF.

Trac got 2 bonus and unexpected votes in the Dons and Port losses. Every little vote will count.

You know it might his night when he even polled a vote in our worst loss of the year at Gather Rd.

We’re not very good at semi finals. 1-4 from the 2002 Adelaide final onwards. The last time we won a home semi final (ie the higher ranked team) was 1998 V St Kilda.

Trac's potential high possession 3 vote games in our wins: Sydney - round 3 West Coast - round 4 North - round 7 Carlton - round 12 St Kilda - round 17 Brisbane - round 18 North - round 21 Sydney - round 24 I don't think he quite gets over the line this year. Would need to vote well in his lower possession games and pull off some 2's and 3's in losses.

Exactly my thoughts. Jake reeks of captaincy material and will be our skipper in 2025 IMO. The recent 4 year contract extension he signed all but confirms that I reckon. Outside of Max he’s essentially the face of the club with all the media he provides.

Could easily be only 3 wins if Milne got a better bounce or extra time was brought in for 2010.

Collingwood losing another grand final by under a goal would be the equivalent satisfaction and happiness of us beating North or West Coast by 8 goals. Hopefully the (long range) forecast holds up and the pies struggle in the heat.

After two weeks of absolutely gut punching soul destroying losses, I honestly couldn’t care less that Collingwood won last night. Not worth the emotional energy. Assuming Brisbane make the GF, they may have a massive advantage if the weather forecast holds up. Mid to high 20’s. In 2001 Brisbane overrun Essendon on a 28 degree day. Maybe history repeats itself. Can Collingwood’s manic defence hold up on very warm day?

Carlton I’ll give you. Absolutely should’ve won that game. Collingwood beat us fair and square on the night. We were asleep at the wheel in the first quarter and they started the game at finals intensity and grabbed a match winning lead at qtr time. Then in the third quarter they had all the answers by way of competent goal kicking.
