Nealy A clean sweep!

10 Christian Petracca (MELB)

7 Clayton Oliver (MELB)

7 Steven May (MELB)

2 Jordan Dawson (ADEL)

2 Jake Lever (MELB)

1 Ed Langdon (MELB)

1 Angus Brayshaw (MELB)

 

A fairly similar coach vote for top 3 honours.   Interesting that 3 of our defenders got votes.  They deserve it - a record number of intercept marks.

 

Split

5/5 Petracca

4/3 Oliver and May

2/0 Dawson and Lever

1/0 Langdon and Brayshaw

 

Leader Board

 

Oliver now has a big lead.  Will be interested to see how many Brownlow votes he has after round 16.

Petracca equal third

Incredible season by Oliver thus far, and extraordinary to have Trac within a few votes of 2nd place. 2 players in top 4 this deep into the season is great to see.

Pfffft what would AFL coaches know about who played well?  According to opposition fans on Facebook he only gets 30 backwards handpasses a game and doesn't hurt the opposition.  They'd know more than the coaches wouldn't they?

Hopefully, the umpires are switched on and give Oliver the Brownlow votes he deserves.

I still find it baffling that footy fans rate/like players not from their team eg Cripps, Danger, Dusty, Bontempelli, Neale etc etc but don't rate or like Oliver.

The scary thing for oppositions is that Petracca might have been best on ground but he was still a fair way from playing at what he's capable of when playing at his very best.

Agreed. I was out for lunch yesterday with a couple of Carlton supporting mates, who were baffled by the level of my delight when asked about Clarry's 7 year deal.

surprised Viney didn't get any votes but there was an even spread.

Oliver likely to win b2b coaches awards is rare air. I think Ablett Jnr was the last player to do so.

Forget back to back, Ablett Jnr is the ONLY player to win more than one coaches award over the course of an entire career.

Clarry will be in rare company if he continues this form.

Out of curiosity, went and had a look at the complete list. Ablett Jr won it three times in consecutive years (2007-2009). Interestingly, Simon Goodwin won it in 2006.

To state the obvious, it's a list of very good players: https://aflcoaches.com.au/awards/the-aflca-champion-player-of-the-year-award

Despite his flat patch petracca sits equal 3rd in the coaches award. When he is on he is unstoppable.

And whats even scarier is that he will probably clean up is kicking a bit more, goalkicking a bit more. And when he gets even more confidence and experience, he will exit stoppage and move to the right places even more. There is no question on his contested dominance. He is probably only 2nd to Diesel - but that was a different era arguably at the end of his career he may just be the GOAT. 

Trac is a bit more balanced in contested / uncontested footy, which is fine. You have to have different types of players in the middle. But even his clearance play, explosiveness and sheer power will go down in history. 

Add Viney and Gawn into that mix and we have a centre square line-up that is truly remarkable.

with clarry already on 83 points he's likely to break the points record, too

Another sensational year from Clarry.  I think we have Clarry polling Brownlow votes in at least 9 (maybe 11) of our 15 games so far.  Likely only issue is if he gets the 3,2,1.  I think C……Petracca will be the one to take votes off Clarry.  Guys like Brayshaw, Neale, Miller and Cripps won’t have another star taking votes.

I reckon Gawn has 4 x 3 vote games so far as well.  Port, Giants, Hawthorn and Swans.

There will be others taking votes...Walsh at Carlton for example poles well, not sure how Rowell is going this season at GC.

Neale will be the one though, a bit of an umpires pet.
