Supercoach wise Flanders has been great but for the bulk of the season he was just getting cheapies in the back half as a loose back, wasn't super noticeable in game.
Has been a lot better in the second half of the season impact wise but Anderson has definitely been the standout player in wins.
Rowell the only one I anticipate taking votes off him.

I still think Naicos wins it of the main contendors he has the least amount of competition in his team.
Nick Daicos - ??? - ???
Cripps - Walsh
Bontempeli - Trealoar
Serong - Brayshaw - Young
Neale - Mcluggage - Dunkley
Heeney - Warner - Gulden
Anderson - Rowell

Apparently Cripps is the favourite.
I still think Heeney will get the most votes though which is a shame especially if Daicos Bradbury’s it.

Brownlow Medallist
A bloke who has played 70 games and not taken a single contested mark should not win a brownlow. Soft.

Who the f**k cares how many contested marks he has? You sound like a Carlton nuffy.
Every player has their strengths and weaknesses. Are you really saying someone like Cripps is FAR more deserving just because he has 7 contested marks? Should we just toss out the rest of the stats and give the Brownlow to whoever has the most contested marks, as if that’s the only thing that makes a player 'hard'? Lmao.
Last year's Brownlow medalist didn’t have a single contested mark, and there was plenty of criticism about Lachie Neale, but I didn't see anyone mentioning his lack of contested marks then. It feels like some people are just grasping at these little details to try and take down such an impressive young player, and for what? A player’s worth goes beyond just one stat.

That you Mrs Daicos? Boy oh boy that’s an almighty meltdown.

Nice rebuttal. Should I just reply with 'I know you are, but what am I?'

Yes you should Mrs Daicos.
Lachie Neale won it last year having not taken a single contested mark.

Daics almost equal favourite now after tonight's carnival
Feels like Cripps has done enough though, he'll get a lot of 3s
Well Daicos is probably not the toughest player going around. But that single stat means nothing especially for mids. Matt Rowell took is first contested last week after 83 games without. And he is probably what most consider a tough mid.

I think Neale will be top 5 again, maybe not win it but he is on track to move up to about number 7-8 all time for Brownlow votes after this year and is a possibility for being a top 2-3 all time by career end! Hats off to this guy!
Scoring 8.14 from 25 shots post bye will cost Bont. Felt like he's put in some equal performances to the some other contenders in the past 8 or so rounds & yet will poll significantly less. He's never received charity votes so not sure why people think that'll be different this year.
Cripps should probably win both the Brownlow & MVP. Daicos for the Coaches award. I think Bont has been just as good as them in 2024 overall.

I don’t think my heart can handle a Cripps/Daicos tie with Heeney getting the most votes

Take your hawks circle jerk to the hawks thread.
It was a well articulated and accurate rebuttal of a stupid post.

If serong didn’t have Brayshaw and Young by his side he would be a shoe in.
For that reason I think daicos will runaway with it

I agree that he is soft, he hears footsteps and fumbles or rushes kicks. But he is also still in the top 3 each game he plays
Serong is going through what Ablett had to 2007-2010 alongside Bartel, Corey and Selwood. Except he also had Johnson and Chapman as high vote getting AA forward/mids and players like Kelly and Ling as the midfield depth.
Ablett in this Freo side would've comfortably won 3 Brownlows in a row 2007-2009.

Serong is 23 he is tracking well
He will never be as good as the little master but his building.

I rate him highly and he's added more hurt factor to his disposal as the year has gone on.
My post wasn't a dig at Serong, merely adding context to "Player X faces this challenge to win the Brownlow". Bontempelli has had a vote stealing midfield most of his career.

With the age of our midfield it would compare to cats 05-06
