Votes from Sunday:

• 10 Gawn
• 7  Salem
• 4 McDonald
• 3 Petracca
• 3 Oliver
• 2 O'Meara
• 1 Lever

Just to try and see how the coaches rated the players compared with the Votes on here

 

Max   got both 5 votes

Salem must therefor have been given a 4 and a 3,

McDonald must then have the other 4,

One 3 left                  

one 2 and one 1

O'Meara got a 2

because Lever got 1

So either Petracca got a 3   and Oliver got a  2 and 1   or the other way round

 

Is that the way it was ?

Dees are the only club with 4 players on the leaderboard. Long time since we have seen that...

4 players in the top 14. Fantastic stuff.

No surprise Salems output is rated by the CA.

Edited April 19, 20214 yr by Commissioner Dreyfus

David Mundy is on the other side of 35 and still considered elite by the coaches.  Respect.

Love seeing Salem on that leaderboard. He's having a career best year. He's been a steady and reliable player in our side for the last five or so years, but it seems that he's finally taking the next step.

Having a brilliant year. Solid in defence! He’s taken 33 marks for the year which is 1 behind big Max! Only 1 other defender in the top 20  coaches votes.

Just interesting that both coaches saw Max as BOG  but both also had Salem up high in the best, some disparaging remarks on this site, Tmac getting a four,  might surprise.  and Lever only getting one vote  also a surprise.   well i thought he did well.

I think we all see what reinforces our beliefs, a bit like politics,  But coaches should know what they are doing.........

I’ve always thought that the coaches votes are the best indication of how the players went. They know better than the umpires and media. (And maybe better than we Demonlanders.) The  Brownlow has the prestige, but the AFLCA award is the real deal. 

Interesting Langdon didn’t get a single vote

Unlikely.

Perhaps not as individuals, but there is some merit in the argument that as a group we are more often likely to be right than wrong.

Just Maybe?

````Unfortunately, Oliver and Petracca will 'take votes' from him and each other which makes it less likely that any of them will win it.

A good thing too. I don't want any of our players burdened with a Charlie around their neck going into the grand final.

Which is why it might be hard for Maxy to win a Brownlow - too much competition for votes in his own side.

Given their position on the ladder, surprising that Sydney doesn't have a player in the top 20.
