    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!

    In fairness he did have 37 disposals (23 contested) and 17 clearances...

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
