It will be interesting to see if the B&F results reflect the lopsided result on here. Hopefully he can pull a vote or two in the Brownlow too, though key defenders in losing sides don't tend to be in favour much.

My observation is that the DL 1st two vote getters each week are usually on the mark...after that votes start to reflect the biases/favourites of the poster.

Think we will be surprised by how players who 'play their role' will poll well in the b&f while they hardly get a mention here, in part because we don't know what those roles are. Toumpas on McV is a good example. Reckon he would have polled very well with the coaches this week but only 1 of 20 posters on here gave him any votes.

    We all jump all over Jack Watts, interesting to see Dom Tyson sitting down the bottom with 1 vote, he has been extremely disappointing this year

    Keep in mind, though, that votes often reflect expectations. More is expected of Tyson (and Jones) so when players don't live up to expectations they tend to get marked harder.

    My votes:

    6. Salem

    5. McDonald

    4. Jones

    3. Cross

    2. Vince

    1. Garland

    (I found the first three reasonably easy to give, the last three were much harder as each of those players were flawed in aspects of their game. Just less flawed than the rest.)

    Unbelievable that Vandenberg is down at 15 votes.

    He should be up with Viney considering how many games Viney has missed.

    Thing is, the votes are 'best 6'. Vandenberg might have been seventh best for every game.

    It is not a perfect voting system but it generally will pick out the very best.

    Also, I really enjoy gloating to anyone who will listen about how three months ago I was telling anyone who would listen that Tom McDonald was going to be a star. But I think we were all thinking it here - just saying it quietly to avoid invoking the rage of football's cruel gods.

    A good indicator is that Tommy is equal fourth in the coaches' votes (after round 5 ).

    And he's up there in the age player of the year. Might miss out in a 3,2,1 system in the loses.

    Coming 4th so far. Amazing effort.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
