Recipe for disaster, but trying to squeeze 8 into 6 doesn't go. And then shuffle, because the order is too hard to determine. End result?

6. Petracca

5. Oliver

4. Gawn

3. Viney

2. Lever

1. Salem

Apologies to Langdon and Brayshaw (as well as McDonald and Fritsch)

Sorry I differ a bit and just loved the way Hunt played yesterday - so much run and pressure and he hit targets. Fritter was great, but it was hard to get over his two first quarter blunders.

No votes for him, but also pleased that Tomlinson again showed that he is getting more and more comfortable down back and this time he had to cope with Hawkins from early in 2nd, but he just misses top six. 

6 Trac

5 Gawn

4 Hunt

3 Fritsch

2 Viney

Just trying to figure out how Fritter is only on one vote. I thought you randomly took three lots of votes from Demonlanders each week? If that's the case, did you only choose ones where he didn't feature as nine out of 10 of us had him in their votes?

Sorry, just did a count - five out 10 had Fritter in their votes. But still one vote only!

The Age Footballer of the Year Top 10 after Round 4:

T. Walker Adelaide 31

R. Laird Adelaide 24

T. Mitchell Hawthorn 23

C. Oliver Melbourne 23

C. Mills Sydney 23

M. Gawn Melbourne 22

M. Bontempelli Western Bulldogs 22

C. Petracca Melbourne 22

O. Wines Port Adelaide 21

C. Jiath Hawthorn 19

This is a better award voting system than the Herald Sun 3-2-1 model where the best player is three times better than the third best.  The top 5 on the ground are scored out of 10.  A great effort to have three Demons in the top 8 players. Interesting that other two undefeated sides only have the one player each.

Oliver unlucky? You gave him 2 votes.  So do you mean he was unlucky to only get 2 votes. 

I think your votes show us the team game.  Many had Trac and Gawn as best in ground. Yet I think there were fantastic contributions from 8-9 players. Good times.

Can't fit Salem, Oliver, Tomlinson or Fritsch in. 

Perhaps we should give out top 10 votes

Gee those coach’s votes are interesting. Tracc was good but didn’t think both coaches would give 5. And I presume only one coach appreciated Lever’s efforts. I thought both coach’s would have worked out that Lever stuffed up numerous Geelong attacks by intercepting marks, by just being in the way, forcing cats to kick sideways and then there was his intercept of the cats guys streaming toward him. Gee it is interesting that your own coach didn’t rate Lever higher up the tree. Like mids are going to get 25 to 30 on a usual day so they always get the media votes but I thought Coaches might see things differently for the role players like Lever.

too many players hard too separate - 5,4,3,2,1 style voting doesn't recognise this

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
