Good to see that Gawn was rightfully acknowledged for what was an outstanding ruckman's game.  He is now 9th overall.  Oliver comfortably in front by 11 votes (61) to Bont and McCluggage both on 50.  Gawn 43, Salem 15th on 33, Petracca 18th on 32, Lever and McDonald equal 21st on 30.

Coaches Split:

  • 5/4 Oliver and Gawn
  • 3/1 or 2/2 Harmes/Lever
  • 3/0 Petracca
  • 1/0 McDonald

Interesting that Beveridge said he didn't see a 28pt loss as something to worry about.  That he couldn't find a single vote for any of his players in his up till then top of the ladder team, suggests he has quite a bit to worry about.

Only 2 defenders on the leader board:  Lever and Salem.  Our defence is certainly getting a lot of respect from opp coaches.  Of course May deserves to be there but there are only so many votes available.

The two aren't mutually exclusive - Beveridge is so objective he can award no points to his players, but is so confident in his system, his players and ability to adjust, he is unworried. I mean, they've won a GF and are second so it's hardly a disaster.

The 3/0 split on Petracca is interesting.
Was it Beveridge giving him 3 votes because you really notice him, and Goodwin thinking 'meh, just another good game, nothing special' or the other way round?
I think it more likely that Goodwin gave Harmes 3 votes given the way Goodwin, May etc spoke about Harmes post-game. (BTW I don't think it's possible that Harmes/Lever were split 2/2 but my brain is hurting with the maths).

Re Brownlow.
I did a calculation on Brownlow votes if they matched AFLCA between Clarry and Bont. 

After Rd11:

Bont is on 13.5 votes with a range 12-14.

Clarry is on 14.5 votes with a range 12-18.

Not sure about other players.

Clarry has possibly 4 BOGs so far. Another 4 in the second half and the Charlie is probably his.

St Kilda could go another 50 years and never assemble a better side then they did in 2009, and still they didn’t win a flag. 
Premierships are damn hard to win. You’ve just got to grab them when you have the chance because they won’t lay down for the taking.

Without seeing the other votes I wonder who are our next best.

I would put

Langdon

May

Fritta

Rivers

 

Im surprised Langdon isnt in the group mentioned. Really flying under the attention of most. A big factor in our ten one ratio.

Time for Clarry to get the peroxide out. He is a Salem home hairdressing Covid job away from a Charlie. 

Noooo! Not nearly enough rangas have won the BL. 
Adam Cooney was the most recent?

Would have thought Goody would have given Gus a vote

Yes interesting that role players that excel at their role don’t get coaches votes either! Never expect the outside observers to recognise the role players. Of course in the club B&F voting they usually do get some votes, but interesting the coaches don’t throw the odd one vote to their favourite role player.

Well he got a lot of touches but didn’t do much damage.

But Bradshaw got a lot of love on the night from several commentators for his continual defensive work, breaking up the Doggies efforts to run the ball out of their defence. Played an important role I think.

No. With his complexion he'd just end up looking like a pimple.

Well it was good response by our captain after his poor effort against the Crows. Well deserved.

You mean the lacklustre 20 disposals at 85% efficiency, 10 marks, 5 contested marks, 13 contested possessions, 6 score involvements, goal, and 32 hit outs with 9 to advantage poor effort against the crows?

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
