    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!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
