Can anyone please enlighten me as to how the voting works? I remember that one year recently, every player was awarded votes from 1-7 for every game played resulting in the strange result that players who might have played just one poor game for the year still got votes. Is it still that system? if so, it makes it hard for players who missed multiple games with injury irrespective of how well they played when on the park (eg, Viney).

Bernie. That patch of form was white hot. Best form I've seen at the MFC since Woewodin in 2000.

Jones and McDonald to round out the top 3. Viney to make a late charge to finish top 5, but will prove to have missed too many games to challenge the others.

Viney has been our most consistent performer this year IMO. Didn't have the real form slump that the top 3 had, at least not that I can recall.

Vince

N Jones

Tom McDonald will poll well early in the year

Viney wil poll very well late in the year.

Gawn's influence in games has been immense - may surprise with how well he polls.

Wow - very one sided so far. Thought there would be more love for Tommy Mac. Thinking that Dunn will poll well as he does do the 'team' thing, and he did chop out TMac on a few occasions. Gawn to do well in the second half, but should be Vince, Tommy, Viney, Jones, Cross, Hogan pretty clearly.

Tommy was undoubtedly our best in the first third of the year but he regressed from QB onward - unfortunately, too many of the brain fades and shocking disposals that blighted previous years. I do wonder if he started to try and do too much after Cloke got the chocolates against him, he does seem to beat himself up after a bad performance. He also wasn't helped by being shoved forward for a few games. He did ok there at times but he should only be tried there again as a pinch hit or in an emergency.

Top four will easily be

Vince

McDonald

Jones

Viney

Viney missed 6 games, which will make it difficult for him to be top 4.

Tom McDonald has had some very ordinary games.

Nathan Jones stank from round 16. Round 23 is about the only decent game of the last 8.

Hogan should be in the top five , it's just the order of the 3rd 4th and 5th out of Hoges, Jones and Viney,but Vince and Tmac will be top two in my opinion.

I couldn't find anyone had answered this question so here's last year vote details.

The votes are cast by four members of Melbourne's match committee who give players a score from 0-10 for each game.

I'm afraid that description needs more detail from someone in the know because last year's top five scored between 238 and 311.

That would imply that Jones scored four out of 10 on average for each game last season - if he's scored that low then god help us.

1. Nathan Jones (311)

2. Dom Tyson (293)

3. Bernie Vince (270)

4. Lynden Dunn (264)

5. Daniel Cross (238)

But regardless of the system, it fair to say that we have a really even bunch this year with four players who could win it I think.

Tom Mc - brilliant early, poor middle, very good late

Vince - late start, very good middle part of year, poor finish once he got sick, except for last game.

Viney - injured Rds 2-8. Most consistent player since.

Jones - solid all year but not as spectacular as 2014.

You could also make a case for Jesse Hogan, but tin my view, he was too hot or cold - as all forwards are.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
