    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
