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......

I agree with the 9s and 5s - especially the 9s. Geez Dane Swan is a good player. The second half really was Melbourne vs Swan in my eyes.

Totally bewildered by the ones - I reckon we had three players (Garland, Davey and Morton) who were better than both those two. Oh well.

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?

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

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.

So who was the coach who never played at afl/vfl level? It was either Neil Craig or Ross Lyon i'm assuming...

It was Craig....Ross Lyon played with Fitzroy.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
