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?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
