Interesting seeing the votes from the game on the weekend.

Melbourne v Fremantle

8 Brad Green (Melb)

5 Dustin Martin (Melb)

5 Jordie McKenzie (Melb)

4 Tom Scully (Melb)

3 Nathan Jones (Melb)

3 Jack Watts (Melb)

2 Nathan Fyfe (Fre)

First, that's copied and pasted off the AFL site, not the HUN as you might have guessed from the wrong name in second place.

Second, Green BOG and Jones got votes...that's odd. Must've gone something like this:

Dean Bailey

5 Jordie McKenzie

4 Brad Green

3 Jack Watts

2 Tom Scully

1 Nathan Fyfe

Mark Harvey

5 Stefan (or Dustin) Martin

4 Brad Green

3 Nathan Jones

2 Tom Scully

1 Nathan Fyfe

Would've assumed McKenzie and Martin would have been high up in the voting from both coaches but it doesn't look possible.

    Jordie is massively, massively underrated by a lot of opposition coaches IMO.

    I think you will find that Jones is massively, massively underrated by many posters on the forums, but coaches see what he is creating with his plays and acknowledge him for it. Just because he isn't flashy doesn't mean he isn't having a big impact on the game - it is often Jones who is getting the hard ball out to the likes of Scully who are then able to dazzle with their free running play. But, I'm a Jones fan, so that probably devalues my comments :-)

    I reckon Mark Harvey would have given Jordie Mac the 5. Firstly, because he kept Pavlova out of the game (Harvey's only real asset on the day). Also I think Bailey was quoted as saying he wasn't too pleased with the overuse of the handball by some of the midfielders. Jordie had 2 kicks 26 handballs.

    It is hard to kick on all fours or from under a pack of players.

    But it's easy to kick when Jack Watts handballs it to you four times in 30 seconds. Eventually the penny should drop that you should kick the damn thing before you get caught with it.

    Yeah I'm a Jones fan too. Think he does a lot of the hard stuff that often goes un-noticed. Its all about playing your role within the team.

    Could have gone like this:

    Bailey Harvey

    5 - Green Martin

    4 - McKenzie Scully

    3 - Jones Green

    2 - Fyfe Watts

    1 - Watts McKenzie

    We'll never know. I know that personally it would have been a hard game for me to give votes in. At the ground on the day I liked the work of Scully early and thought Watts was very clean and Fyfe was very good for Freo. I probably would have thrown in Martin for some of his brilliance and especially after I saw the stats difference of McKenzie v Pav he'd have to get votes, but that was harder to see at the game.

    Broken hearted by the lack of love for the Stef Martin Experience from Bails.

    What gives you that impression?

    You do realise that that is how the poster thinks they voted...

    I wish the posters who like to do these wouldn't give their "this is how it might have worked" - it is so pointless.

    Why? Because you then extrapolate from an assumption.

    And that is literally pointless.

    I tried to extrapolate an assumption once, but I ended up surmising on a spread of statistics instead, metraphorically speaking of course

    Don't tell me, you disappeared up your own fundament? ;)

    there was one unbelievable moment where he emerged froma pack and about 5 blokes tried to bring him down in heavy traffic but he just kept shrugging them off until he could fire of a handball to a passing teammate, ball was near the centre, we were kicking to the city end, got a huge recognition from the faithful

    Cheerfully withdrawn. I'll assume there is much love.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
