    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 ?

    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.

    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?

    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.

    And Josh Kelly no where to be seen!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
