    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
