6 Oliver - With his best three clearance support acts missing, he had to step up and he did in a big way and before Cripps left as well).

5 Frost - He reminds me more of Sean Wight (circa 1987) every day. 

4 TMac - Can those who used to reckon he couldn't kick please head to church confession now.

3 Neal-Bullen - Horror start but kept buttering up and that's why he will play finals if we make it.

2 Petracca - The best hips since Brian Wilson and unlike Willo, he can kick a long ball as well as clear packs.

1 Jetta - Great final play and once again showed he can play on bigs and smalls.

Apologies Wags (great first half), Hunt (super disallowed goal), Jordy (Boo, who!) and Bernie (did Gibbs play?).

Interesting votes.  Murphy got a 5 and a 4.  No other player got more than five which means the coach who gave Murphy 4 gave either Curnow, TMac and Trac 5.  The other coach didn't think they were in the top 5 players.

Am I missing something?

You are correct.

And given that each coach gave their 1 vote to separate players, we can also work out that Oliver must have got 4-0. Otherwise, there's no way to allocate the votes to two of Petracca, Curnow and Tom McDonald. Two of these players must have got a 3-2 split while the other one got a 5-0. 

So, in summary, only three players (Murphy plus two of Petracca, Curnow and Tom McDonald) scored votes from both coaches.

Amazing how differently the coaches saw it. Does anyone know if this is common for Bolton and Carlton to give votes out of whack with the other coach?

Their club doctor sees things differently.

Goodwin was effusive about Oliver in his presser, so I'd be amazed if he didn't give Oliver the 4.

Either coach would find it hard to ignore Tom McDonald's 4 goals, so my other guess would be Petracca getting 5 from Bolton.

Strange stuff this week for sure.

In the scenario where Goodwin gave Oliver 4 votes, that means he gave Murphy BOG as Bolton is the only one who can give Murphy 4 votes. That leaves Bolton thinking one of T Mac, Petracca or Curnow was BOG and the other coach allocating no votes to that player.

Surely Goodwin gave T Mac votes. In the above scenario I'd safely rule him out. Petracca is a curious choice but Curnow even moreso. It seems very much a Bolton type move giving out an "encouragement award", so it's certainly possible, but would be the oddest choice of all. 2 goals and 19 possessions isn't usually a BOG performance. But would Bolton have really given Petracca BOG? I doubt it. So in this scenario all three seem unlikely, although Curnow is possible as Bolton is a bit of an oddball.

In the scenario where Bolton gave Oliver 4 votes and Goodwin gave him zero (also strange), that means it's likely Goodwin thought either T Mac or Petracca was BOG and Bolton gave them zero. Both odd for different reasons. Odd if Bolton gave T Mac no votes, and slightly odd if Goodwin thought Trac was BOG.

Jetta getting 1 vote is a shocker and Frost was also very stiff.

Very strange votes all round. Usually not that difficult to figure out where the votes went but not so this week.

Just wait until Gil read's out who the umpires gave the 3-2-1 to on Brownlow... that'll be strange stuff indeed!

Murphy 5 4

  My guess is this. No other makes sense

Petracca's numbers were good and opposition coaches and commentators are enamoured with him so its possible...

I just find it unlikely that one of the coaches ignored TMac's performance altogether - he was clearly the standout key forward on the day.

I think I prefer ProDee's breakdown although I'd like to see it spelled out (as you have) to make sure it adds up - too lazy to do it myself though.

You could fix that by simply switching "Bolton" and "Goodwin".

Though if you do that, I'd suggest swapping Jetta and Kreuzer as well.

Yeah except I don't see Bolton giving Petracca BOG. It's possible I guess,

I've invested way too much time into this today :wacko:

  • 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.
