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

3.Langdon

2. Petracca

1. Oliver

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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
