Just having a look at the coaches votes for the QB game, as follows:

Melbourne v Collingwood

9 Dane Swan (Coll)

9 Brent Moloney (Coll)

5 Mark Jamar (Mel)

5 Scott Pendlebury (Coll)

1 Brad Dick (Coll)

1 Dayne Beams (Coll)

Obviously one coach gave Beamer 5, the other coach gave him 4 and same for Swan. One coach has given 3 to Russian, the other coach 2 and same for Pendlebury.

Now, the one vote - both coaches have gone for Dick and Beams. I am obviously biased but IMO how Davey is not listed is beyond me. Malthouse tagged Flash who tore them apart, no vote there Mick?

I would argue even with Dick's 4 goals, 2 were over the top Joe the Goose' and Davey was better than him. In my opinion Flash was just as effective as Pendlebury but what do I know? As for Beams? Seriously......

    Garland of course!!! Thanks Nasher....seems I fell for the same trap as even coaches do by not giving a vote to defenders (even though flash is off half back is an attacker!). The overall leaderboard below reads like a Herald Sun player of the year award, bit surprising considering the majority of coaches were defenders or defensive minded and know better than us the task assigned.

    Reckon it's time an award was struck for the defenders.

    Leader board

    62 Luke Hodge (Haw)

    48 Dane Swan (Coll)

    47 Matthew Pavlich (Fre)

    46 Aaron Sandilands (Fre)

    44 Paul Chapman (Geel)

    41 David Mundy (Fre)

    38 Gary Ablett (Geel)

    38 Brendon Goddard (StK)

    37 Lenny Hayes (StK)

    37 Chris Judd (Carl)

    I thought Garland was fantastic. Starting to see some real 'freakish' sort of qualities in him. I though early on some of Flash's disposal was a little iffy, so I'm OK with him missing out.

    I cant bring myself to even make a bad joke out of it, which muppet from the media put Beamer as a collingwood player?

    Didn't even pick up on that....maybe because he was dragging three Pies through the pack at one time :)

    Interesting observation. I hadn't noticed that before.

    Craig: N/A

    Voss: Midfield

    Ratten: Midfield

    Malthouse: Defender

    Knights: Midfield

    Harvey: Defender

    Clarkson: Midfield

    Thompson: Defender

    Bailey: Midfield

    Scott: Defender

    Williams: Midfield?

    Hardwick: Defender

    Lyon: Defender?

    Roos: Defender

    Worsfold: Defender

    Eade: Midfield

    7 midfielders, 8 defenders, no forwards or ruckman, and one coach who did not play at AFL level.

    Sorry to hijack the thread.

    All good Nasher...bring it too life!!

    Out of the 7 mids I reckon only 3, Voss, Ratten & Knights would have been more attack minded players. Even guys like Clarko I would class as more dour if not defensive midfielders.

    Even those 3 were hard bodied more contested ball winners than outside players.

    Guess it all changes next year when Longmire starts coaching.

    As for the votes, I wonder if Bailey gave the 1 vote to Beams or Dick. I would have to presume Dick and can see why he got a vote, can't see what Beams did more than Davey or others.

    Indeed. If you count McKenna and Sheedy the number of defenders goes to 10.

    Entirely agree. Davey's impact upon the game was huge, in my view even greater than Moloney's

    Davey was very good, but I think you should watch the replay. Beamer was sensational, his best game for MFC by a mile

    Sorry to hijack the thread.

    Some of the defenders even started their careers as forwards or midfielders but found their "home" in defence.

    Harvey, Lyon & Roos started as forwards.

    Malthouse & Scott & possibly Thompson (not so sure about him) started as mids. And I thought Bailey also started as a mid but played most games in defence.

    Eade (and Sheedy, for what it's worth) went the other way - started in back pocket & ended up in midfield.

    But again, no forwards - even those who started out as forwards did better as defenders. IMO this makes your point even stronger, Nasher.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
