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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
