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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
