well he was the only one who played all 22 games, so not surprising

Rooey based it on the next hypothetical game where he would line up; and not only the 22 as you point out.

    So Gawn and Oliver "tie" on 464 votes.  What are the odds of that?  We hardly get brownlow ties in a 1-2-3 system of voting, which is akin to a sprint.  Yet we are supposed to believe that there was a dead-heat in this marathon?  Rigged.  They didn't tie, but the club thought it was convenient that they did.

     

    Frost 9th.  What a joke.  Probably had 464.1 votes until Goody came in with his eraser.  Might have been a triple dead-heat?

     

     

    An absolute rort.

    Poor old TGR.  Not unlike Sam Newman, he's suffering terribly from Relevance Deprivation Syndrome and is forced into making more and more ridiculous statements in at attempt to gain some attention.

    RDS can be a good thing depending on the IQ of the audience.

    Which is why it’s only happened once in our entire history. 

     

    Im struggling to see your point. Even IF what you allege is accurate , and it well might be, you can be damn sure all clubs do that . But your anger seems very directed at our club only. 

    Re Frost,  he clearly divides opinions. Personally I love him and wish we could work around his assets more as they’re very unique. But as coaches and casting votes post game,  how the hell do you rate his brilliance against his deficiencies and how well he gets the job done. I’m sure votes for him are wildly divided also. Do u rate his 6 excellent intercept marks and 5 running bursts from the backline higher than the 5 times he gave up goals thru poor positioning or turnovers. Top 10 finish is about right for frosty imo.

    I don't know what you are on, but please tell us    it seems to be really good [censored]

    Frost was good and exciting to watch, but maybe the goals kicked from his turnovers or poor decisions had some impact on his votes

    I suppose the only thing missing from this left-field conspiracy theory is motive.

    Why on earth would anyone want to rig a B&F to ensure a tie?

     

    In fact, it would be in the club's benefit to not have a tie as you can bet that now both Gawn and Oliver will be receiving a little bonus in their contract for winning and Best and Fairest.  Would be much cheaper to have one winner.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
