Gary Ayres Player of the Finals

There's a clear flaw when Petracca gets 23 out of 30 votes available (76%) but is beaten for the award by someone who got 25 out of 40 (62.5% of the votes available).

    Surely the simple solution is that all players get their three best games counted.

    Done, issue over. Still fair to the four-game players without giving any ridiculous advantage.

    Simples... at the completion of the final series a panel of 'experts' (or even Gary Ayres himself) vote 3,2,1 for their choice of best player in the final series.

    It could be a meaningful award but it needs to be more than just stats or subjective opinion. Then the best player would be clearly displayed. They need to sort this out: for the sake of Gary Ayres who must cringe at its irrelevance, but also because it should genuinely be a prestigious award. Finals showcase the best of our game.

    Who gave Caleb Daniel 3 votes, Goody or Bevo? Goody feeling a bit generous? Or Bevo taking the [censored] with favouring his own players?

    That would be Bevo. Bontempelli 1 vote I can understand, but Daniel 3rd best on ground?  🤦‍♀️

    Jeez, they need to rethink that award…

    Honestly who cares. MaCrae can have the GA Medal. Trac will just have to be content with a Premiership and Norm Smith Medal. No doubt Christian is shattered 😄

    That’s my point.

    That’s not the point.
    We all know Tracc wouldn’t  give a rat’s, but it is a discussion of a totally flawed AFL award.

    How many goals did Fritter get for the year IN THE END?

    59. 

    McKay 58

    Floppy Elbows Hawkins 62

    Absolutely elite from a medium forward.

    GF votes should be weighted to be 1.5 or 2.0x for the very reason most people stated.

    this is the definition of a bureaucrat award.

    Daniel had a lot of the ball, a lot of intercepts and a lot of turnovers. I felt like we were happy for him to be the one we let of the leash. I think we put a lot of work into a bunch of Dogs players, including Weightman, Liberatore, McCrae and Bailey Smith who were all kept much quieter than usual. Assuming we didn't put work into him, then I'm not sure that Goodwin could have him 3rd best on ground (because he did what he thought he would, and would probably rate our defensive efforts to stop key players a bit higher), so I think it has to be Bevo who gave him the votes

    Treloar is the other one we allowed to run around a bit.

    That leaves us in the exact same situation though doesn’t it? Macrae would have had the advantage of extra game, effectively being able to discard his worst game, which was the GF.

    I personally would have had Bailey Smith ahead of him across the first 3 finals anyway. Macrae doesn’t excite me much at all.

    • 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.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
