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.

    A fair few of us didn’t have Gawn in the top 6. I think we might have gotten used to his excellent performances

    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.

    Yes, and as a result too many set unfairly high expectations on him.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    I agree, short back and sides or a 1950s Madman hair do. Definitely not a Don Mattingly sideburns job though.

    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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
