    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
