    Seems like the broken finger has stalled Oliver's season. I hope he can regain his full form and take the Coaches' and Brownlow home!

    He got a hard tag from Aish and did the team thing. We all know he is a great footballer that would rather a premiership medallion than a coaches award around his neck. 

    Still has a great chance and will unlikely attract a tag for the last 3 games.

    Given how well we leveraged the tag from a team perspective, other teams with think twice before applying a heavy tag to Oli or Trac

    Who tagged who? Wasting a player like Aish on a Clarrie tag when the team is getting smashed seems like a mistake.

    Clarrie kept him occupied and out of the game.

    OTOH how come the multiple umpires could not pick up the holds and jumper tags on Clarrie at ball ups. A couple of free kicks would have quickly stopped the tag.

    Touk Miller has no competition.

    Oliver is literally competing with his own teammate who is just 3 points behind him. It's why he is unlikely to win a Brownlow. He plays in a midfield that is just too strong.

    Has to start kicking goals if he's to win it one day I think, or hope Trac and Viney have shocking seasons... which he never would want!

    Probably right,. By my bit of research he has 3 for the year, Touk has 7.

    Sure, but Touk has no competition within his own team.

    Quite often standout players in middle of the road sides win Brownlows. It would help enormously that GC have received a lot less thumpings this year than previous years, and no doubt Touk has had an outstanding year and is a gun player. No doubt Dew is gonna help him along too. 

    For me Oliver winning the Coaches Award last year in a premiership winning season was an outstanding achievement. To finish top 3 again this year, which I suspect he will, just backs up what a remarkably consistent player he is at the top level. I think his last two weeks have been well down due to his injury, and not because he has been successfully tagged. It's very hard to tag someone who is so skilled at winning contested footy.

    Also if he played for Geelong, he would get 10 free kicks a game. Alas he just gets dragged, held and hit behind play instead.

    I’d rather he get a second premiership medal than either of those 2 awards.

    It isn't the main game tbh and I'm sure that at this stage of the season things can become a little compromised.  I'm sure all the Melbourne players a focusing in on one thing at the moment.  We are very lucky to have players like Oliver, Gawn, Petracca, Viney, May and Lever in the one team at the same time.  I'd much rather that than one Touk Miller (who is an absolute champion player, by the way, and would be a very deserving winner).

    Give Miller a bit of credit he’s a great footballer

    I thought they used Aish to tag Oliver in the second half of this years earlier meeting - worked well for them that day 

    Aish did a good job and was certainly one of their few good players Friday night

    Ludicrous that he finished in the votes. And ludicrous that Fritsch scored one.

    You haven't been watching the Suns play. Noah Anderson is a hell of a player. 

    And if Touk is to win any awards, he deserves it on merit. Fantastic player.

    We used it against them by Oliver playing a team game, opening up space for other free players, and other team focused acts. Is no coincidence that all our other mids were the best players on the ground (Trac, Viney, Gus)

    Agree ask any player who was there toughest opponent and there always will be some obscure non entity type that just seems to play well against superstars. Aish was a fumbly nobody at Collingwood, but has now beaten Clarry TWICE. Ask Robby Flower who was his toughest and he always said Wayne Shimmelbusch over Keith Grieg and a host of others. Not that Shimma was a slouch. Aish has improved as a footballer and at the end of his career, I would hope he nominates Clarry as his toughest ever opponent. Fair praise I would say.

    Watchh CHOO CHOO TRAIN BECOME THE "RED HAIRED FIREBALLLLL EXPRESS LAST 3 ROUNDS!

    But can you imagine what it would be mean to win one in those circumstances!

    Took Miller has had a good year although not as good as last year

    However, Clarrry’s year is head and shoulders above him. Not even a contest

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
