    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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
