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

1 Langdon

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.


AFLCA votes:

Petracca 10

Gawn 7

Oliver 4

Langdon 3

Lever 2

Salem 2

McDonald 1

Pickett 1

Tracc and Gawn the only players to receive votes from both coaches. Gawn is now second on 22 votes, 6 behind Tex Walker.  Oliver in 4th place and Tracc 13th.

6. Viney

5. Lever

4.Fritsch

Spargo would have got 3 votes if he had kicked 2 goals

Apolgies to Gawn and a few other players.... very good team effort

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

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
