Coaches Votes

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

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
