    Thought Clarry would have got the 10 votes (nit picking i know but i thought he was head and shoulders above everyone else particularly in the first half)

    Coaches split:

    •  5 and 4 Petracca/Oliver
    • 3 and 3 Gawn
    • 2 and 1 Jackson/Lever

    Very consistent voting by the two coahces this week.

    Oliver on 101 has a handy lead over Bontempelli who is on 94.

    Nice to see Jackson among the votes from both coaches.  His performance justifies the confidence Goodwin showed in him in his previous press conf.

    I am quite shocked Oliver didn't get a perfect 10. He did have a quieter second half though.

    Didn't think Max was as influential as normal around the ground, and thought Steven May was just enormous on King who literally did not touch the footy.

    But what do I know.

    Nice to see Oliver leading the coaches votes. He isn't flashy like Bont, but his consistency is incredible.

    i hope this doesn't seep into Trac's ego and cause him to lose his new found selflessness.

    i was quite happy with Bont being the brownlow favourite and ahead in the coaches votes just as i was happy with being 3rd on the ladder. 

    We are still a bit immature when it comes to publicity and expectation. The 3rd quarter against the Suns was all to telling with the Hollywood handballs and low percentage decision making. Individual accolades dont win you GF's and are best left until after seasons end. Would be just as happy for the Coaches votes to be sealed in the same vault as the brownlow counting only to be opened up in the lead up to the GF.

    Given that he had three handballs, he literally DID touch the footy. 

    Only rarely and to no great effect, though.  May thrashed him.

    He literally did not touch the footy once in the air? Better?

    We have waited so long to have genuine stars in the midfield. Hasn't happened in my 33 years following the club and now we have 2.

    All hail Clarry and Trac

    No wonder  we are third on the ladder and one of the real chances for the flag for the first time in 21 years.

    If it doesn't happen this year we have the list at such a stage that any time within the next 5 years it could be just as possible.

    I've said it before but I think Gawn is criminally underrated by a lot of posters here and media elsewhere.  He played a fantastic ruckman's game, got the ball moving in our direction (31 hitouts 42% to advantage), kicks a couple of goals, goes at 69% DE and has 11 score involvements (second highest for us).  Lyon says on the telecast that Gawn has been quiet - Fox Footy group think takes hold, the media who aren't at the game but listen to Lyon's commentary all fall for it.  Only the HS listed Gawn in the best players.  Nothing in the Age for Max, nor AFL.com.au.

    He was statistically better than any other ruckman this week in nearly all categories.  Both coaches rate him the third best player on the ground.  The coaches clearly didn't listen to the commentary team.  It never ceases to amaze me how frequently wrong the "experts" are.

    Agreed with this but I would extend it, somewhat, based on the team performance. What stood out for me was the communication and almost brotherly love between Tracc and Clarrie. This includes Gawn and Gus as a framework of the magnificent four. It lifts the whole team, in particular: Jackson, BB, HIbberd, Lever, May and Kozzie and Salem (when fit). There is almost a silent co-operation going on between these blokes and when we win, it stands out like dog's marbles. At the gritty end of the spectrum, it could well be the reason for the wins we've had this year.

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

      The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • 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.
