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.

Like your suggestion

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.

 

I'm sure he'll treasure that award.

Straight to the pool room.

CP5-couldn't give a stuff.

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?  🤦‍♀️

If Clarry  Choo Choo wasnt player of finals then I am Sgt Shultz

I KNOW NOTHING

TRAC CLOSE SECOND! In fact 

IM CALLING IT A TIE !! CLARRY AND TRAC🤩

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 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? 

Pretty sure it was one more than Coleman Medal winner McKay

 

couldnt be bothered looking up Tomahawk’s finals campaign 🤮

Who won the most helpful cutting up the oranges award?

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.

well it’s good to feel a bit of outrage back on this site! it’s been strangely absent now for weeks.,

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.

Great thing is, this club doesn't care one bit for individual awards!!!

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
