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.

    You have a serious problem I think.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
