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.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
