Interesting vote spread.  Obviously Gawn hit the two 5's, then Salem and Tracc went 4/2 and 3/3 one way or the other, Oliver got 4/0, Viney 2/1 and Pickett 1.

Pointless medal. If it’s not done on averages, then anyone who plays less matches is disadvantaged.

Norm Smith is the only finals medal that counts. Reckon Trac is gonna win that!

Dogs play an extra game so how can an MFC player possibly win it?

Just win the Norm Smith Clarrie - that's all that matters!

totals should be divided by games played.......with a minimum 2 or 3 games

Haha. I’ve seen some mathematically questionable awards before (I’m looking at you, Demonland Player of the Year!), but that takes some beating.

Ahh, a premiership medal is much more valuable than a Norm Smith one.

Doggies can have it, provided we win the ones that matter.

Hell, the Bont can have the Brownlow and the Norm Smith provided Gawn and co get the other 23.

Yep.  Happy for the Bont to join the prestigious club of Norm Smith medalists from the losing team.  👍

Clearly compromised award.  Here are some alternatives that keep the award a coach voted system..

Option 1 - Only use votes from the PF and GF's.  If there's a tie, whoever receives more votes in the GF takes the award.

Option 2 - Use votes from SF, PF and GF.  Players from teams that don't play in the SF's score double in the PF.  Break tie the same way.

Week one of finals involves 2 games involving the top 4 teams, 2 games involving teams 5-8.  Obvious difference in quality so easiest way is to discount that whole week.  Alternative is to apply multipliers to the games.  QF votes are worth more than votes from EF's  (maybe only a 4,3,2,1 vote system for EF's?)

Clearly the award should go to aplayer that plays in the GF.  Another reason to exclude FW1 game as with the fewer games contributing to scoring, you pretty much have to play in the GF to win it.

I didn't know this award even existed.

If you asked me previously, I would have guessed that it was awarded to the player with the most spectacular mullet in the AFL.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
