Hard to argue with your top 3 Picket but I think you’ve undersold Viney.

The Brisbane QF match was a fair while ago now so it’s easy to forget but he was enormous in that game.

Even in the GF it’s not until I’ve watched the replay 3 or 4 times lol that you realise how pivotal he was.

Had him in at 7 but could easily have been in for 1 or 2 votes that game!

 

Coaches votes were:  

    QF PF  GF     
Petracca 7 6 10 23
Oliver 10 4 5 19
Gawn  1 10 0 11
Salem 0 6 2 8

Lever had 3 vs Lions, Viney had 3 vs Cats and there was a few 1 votes for other dees.

Unfair to pick out a top five as it was a superb team effort. Salem played a blinder in the Granny for example!

Only trouble is Max's effort in the prelim should have been a 15

Whats a blinder? 

We knew the top blokes were going to be fantastic, but what about Sparrow proving finals is not a barrier and young Bowey who also proved he was up to it !

Spargo , ANB  as well

Viney & Gus .........the list goes on .

Actually you are not going to believe this, because I thought the finals was best of five (just like NBA) and we won the first three by exactly the same score...........resounding !!! ( How come Foxtel was the only broadcaster for the final 2 games.

Seriously?  It's a term for an excellent performance in a game and a well-known phrase at that.

It's out of an advertisement.

Oliver is stiff to only get 5 coaches votes in the grand final. I would normally say I must have been watching a different game but given I have watched the replay enough times it amazes me.

They are all champions in my eyes but here's a bit of data to mull over.  Weighted average scores from the three finals.

I usually add about 0.70 to Maxy to allow for his hit outs to advantage which would bring him into about 5th posi here and something a tad less for LJ.  Say about 0.30 bringing him up to around 11th?

In the table I showed players who voted in more than one final.

Fritsch got 8 votes in the GF.  Only so many votes to go round.

 


18 were drafted and developed by the dees and, of the top 10, eight were home grown.

All 18 earned and deserved their place in the team on GF day. There were no easy spots or players making up the numbers.

Only 5 out of 23 came from other clubs. But what a five - May, Lever, Langdon, Brown and Hibbert. Three AAs, a champion goalkicker and the best wingman in the league.

Kudos to the club.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
