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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
