Perhaps it should read '1 - Todd Viney's sperm'.

Well he is "fluid" in his motion, and we are talking about a "ball" game.

More interesting than a typo is that one coach thought Howe was BOG and the other thought he was second best. That wasn't reflected in the voting for the Demonland POTY votes.

If anyone can be bothered, it would be an interesting exercise to compare the coaches votes with the Brownlow votes and the Demonland votes at the end of the year. It would demonstrate the real difference in perspective between the fans, the umpires and the coaches.

lol Go Todd

On a related note, the Father - Son rule has to be the best rules in any sport in the world and a massive credit to the AFL for conceiving it

Its great to have that connection to the team from earlier generations, Todd Viney was a lot of peoples favorite player back in his day and he was a real heart and soul player for us a long time and a great skipper

and now we have the please of watching his son play for us

Nice use of the word "conceiving"

Actually... If what I have read is true Melbourne actually lobbied the then VFL to create the Father/Son rule.

Carlton were the first to actually benefit from it.

Later, one Ronald Dale Barrassi Jr was recruited via this rule.

Anyone able to confirm?

And the B&F.

Of course, the different voting systems blur the outcome. Doesn't the MFC B&F give players a mark from the Senior Coach and some or all assistant coaches (or Match Committee?) from 1 to 7 for each game played? So a player who had the worst day imaginable, but was out there, will get votes under that model.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
