    Very much look forward to seeing our total team votes. Rarely get a player in double figures let alone near the leaderboard!

    He'll win a Brownlow if they ever double their win count. 

    It's a disgrace, anything to keep them relevant.

    If Oliver wore a helmet he would have acquired 57 votes.

    Brayshaw had an insane last half of the year. I had him in my supercoach all year and he deserved his votes.

    Disgraceful.  Got votes when they were massacred.  

    He was good but not enough to warrant better than the winners best 3 or best 6 !!

    2 in top 5.... Great effort.

    Did Braysh missing out on the first few rounds cost him the medal? ;)

    How about the run by Brayshaw! Could have had 2nd if Sidearse didn’t pinch 3 in the last.

    Whilst not compensation for the disappointment of the weekend, how good was it to have 3 players “taking votes off each other” - brilliant work lads and bring on 2019.

    second most to the filth. They got something like 96 total votes, we got 93.

    WDFD, they're in a GF and we aren't. Sidebottom is and Mitchell isn't. That's the one that really matters

    Jones and Neal-Bullen stole votes off Clarry and Gawn

    Mitchell wins as there is no one to take votes off him at the hawks. If he stayed at the swans no way he would have won. 

    Gus is a fricken gun!

    I am so pleased for Gus. Taken at pick 3 and now showing his worth in a breakout year. Now for the guy taken at pick 2 to show us his worth,  I talking about you Trac.

    I’d just like to note that someone deacribed Gus as “not AFL standard” in the prelim match thread.

    CP5 = 3 votes. Long way to go if he wants to be a Hall Of Famer...

    Time on his side i guess.

    No Brownlow votes.

    It begs the immediate and obvious question.

    Should it be decided by head coaches alone? Just roll the coaches award into the actual Brownlow.

    Eighteen coaches with intimate knowledge of who really impacts the matches versus the umps who year on year make huge blunders like the one you’ve highlighted.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
