10 Christian Petracca (MELB)
6 Aaron Naughton (WB)
6 Ben Brown (MELB)
4 Bailey Smith (WB)
3 Clayton Oliver (MELB)
1 Ed Langdon (MELB)

A little trickier to work out how the votes split by coach, this week.  I make it: 

  • 5/5 Petracca
  • 3/3 and 4/2 Naughton/Brown
  • 4/0 Smith
  • 2/1 Oliver
  • 1/0 Langdon

A fairly even assessment except that one coach rated Smith 2nd BOG and the other didn't rate him at all.  If my split is correct I would say Beveridge gave Smith the 4.

Edit:  An alternative split is in @titan_uranus's post below which I'm copying here:   Could also be that Naughton and Brown were both 4/2, Smith was 3/1, Oliver the other 3 and Langdon the other 1. 

This split looks a better reflection of the game than my first guess.  On this basis the voting is more even and Smith wouldn't be 2nd BOG but even with Oliver.

It was only a guess as I don't see Goodwin rating Smith that much higher than Oliver.

Bailey Smith with 66% disposal efficiency versus Oliver at 75%. Smith 5 score involvements, Oliver 8…I know who Goodwin rates here 😉

Umpires loved Smith too with 5 frees for.

Spoiler alert they hated Oliver with 7 frees against.

Smith is one of the most overrated footballers going around. If he did not look the way he looks and have 15 year old girls swooning over him, he would rarely be talked about.

He's a good player, the winner he kicked in the semi last year was gold. Needed to start running more defensively which it looks like he's been working on. Still very young, i think he'll be a good player for years to come (not Petracca, Bont, Oliver good but very good still)

He is a good player who can’t kick very well. 

Bevo must have given Smith 4.  I wonder what the sequence of events was.  Lost the plot while doing coaches votes and then lost it again at the presser, or vice versa.

I mean, 33 disposals, 11 tackles, 7 marks and 8 clearances in just over 3/4s of a game is a decent hitout.

Seems to be a heavier tint of red and blue on the glasses since the premiership.... ;)

Apparently he had Hunter as 3rd best of ground so I think you might be right! 😂

In front of Oliver who he would hate to give votes to coz it would then say that his mids were second rate! Which, other than Bont actually are🤩

and 5 score involvements.  Those stats are only impressive if you ignore the fact Smith played most of the game inside directly opposed to Tracc or Oliver who had 21 score involvements between them.

Not saying he had a better game than either of them, just saying it's not that crazy he was in the coaches votes. Had a pretty fair game.

Um, judging by some of their decisions, that would be a fair assessment.

Yet McRae doesn’t crack a single vote?

I know this will sound full nuff, but despite Macrae having the better disposal efficiency %, and Smith's clangers maybe standing out more, I thought Smith's useful disposals contributed a lot more than Macrae's.

Haven't watched the game multiple times though.

I don’t disagree. McCrae only having 4 score involvements is very poor considering his possession count. He is a distributor but he doesn’t create damage forward of the center. It’s why I don’t think we cared that he was racking them up. 
I don’t dispute that Smith deserved votes. I just think it’s a bit rich of Bevo (and again I’m assuming it was him who gave him the 4 votes), to rate his game that much higher than Clarry’s who had more score involvements and was significantly better by foot. 
But it’s ok because Bevo not rating our midfield suits me just fine. Worked out super well for him the last two times we’ve met.

Yeah, it's a little bit like the old chestnut with Brownlow votes:

3 votes - winning team, 2 votes - losing team, 1 vote - winning team.

Few rumours going around Bevo has a bit to deal with behind the scenes, so might be an interesting few weeks for them with team selection, coaches votes and the like.

Sounds interesting! Some enlightenment please Nev.

What are these "rumours", and how are they going to impact "team selection , coaches (sic) votes and the like"?

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
