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

One of the biggest myths in football I reckon. 4 times out of 5 the brownlow is won by a gun midfielder in a top 4 team, despite having other good players 'stealing' votes. It's damn hard to get votes in a losing side.

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. 

Ah, the old Delphi method.  Yes, that works when the group is composed of experts. Not the thoughts of a hundred idiots like us.

Idiots? But I'm sure each poster is an expert. At least, that's the impression I'm sure they want to leave me with.

I think all of us would like to think of ourselves as experts.  But if we were, we’d be working in the industry. Wouldn’t we all love to have a job at the MFC? Then we could cast votes for the B&F. ?

We can console ourselves with the thought that the soft cap is the reason why we - the acknowledged experts about everything to do with the MFC - are not working at the club. What other reason could there be?


I moved the post on the Coaches votes to the Post Game thread.

Votes

Let me indulge my biases a little:   If the Bulldogs are so good where are their players in the Coaches votes!!

They have a more even mix of team players than we do?

The coaches gave Salem the 10 on Saturday.  7 to Tracc, 6 to Lever, 3 to Oliver and 2 each to Gawn and McDonald.  Despite Gawn polling, he has lost the lead to Mundy but holds second.  Salem now up to 5th and ahead of Oliver and Tracc.  Lever also in the top 20.

You are very quick NC!  I moved the post to the Post Game thread.  Unfortunately, Max is no longer in the lead.

Decided to be a bit humble and left out e that mischievous line.  They have a few more players in the 11-20 range

Justified at the moment - but I wonder if Goody ever gives votes to the opposition!  


11 players have recorded coaches votes in the first 6 games.  No player has polled in all 6, but Gawn, Oliver, Lever and Petracca have polled in 5.  McDonald has polled in 4 games, as has Salem.  Pickett has polled in 3 games, Langdon in 2 and May, Viney and Tomlinson once each.

Gawn 34

Salem 28

Oliver 26

Petracca 25

Lever 18

McDonald 11

May 10

Pickett 7

Langdon 4

Viney 3

Tomlinson 1

Good stuff Swooper.  I could have sworn Trac had polled in all 6 games.. do you know which one he didnt get votes for?

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

Media discussion (sorry...) after this weekend has toyed with Petracca verging on being the 'new Dusty'. If the comparison were to be/become fully accurate, I'd be happy for it to go all that way, Mazer!

(On a side note, I'd also be happy for the opposition to have our Charlie around their necks - as in albatross, not as in free kick...)

Round 1.  May 10, Oliver and Lever 7, McDonald 4 and Fremantle's Brayshaw picked up 2.

McDonald getting coaches' votes in 4 of the first 6 games is not only possibly the biggest surprise of the year but also very pleasing. His performances have completely changed the way we play. I feel for Ben Brown and Sam Weideman "languishing" in the seconds while they wait for an opportunity.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
