AFLCA votes in the last 2 rounds are held over as secret. After RD21, the leader board was:

  • 88 Miller, Neale
  • 86 Oliver, Petracca
  • 75 Cripps, Rozee

I don't think Neale would have received votes in Rd22 and certainly not last night.
GC got thrashed last week, so I doubt Miller was in the votes

I'd be confident that Oliver got some votes last night, and maybe some against Carlton. Trac possibly too.
I think Cripps and Rozee are too far behind.

If Miller doesn't get in the votes this week (GC are playing Nth, so easily possible), then I'd put money on Clarry taking home a 2nd consecutive award.

    What about the Brownlow?

    Lots of pundits have Neale two votes ahead Clayton before last night.

    Could we see a tight race and perhaps Oliver wins it with the last round votes?

    I think Clarry would be happy to leave both prizes behind for another medal in September

    When Clarry looks back on his career, he will acknowledge and appreciate all his achievements. But I get he feeling that because he knows he isn't a great media performer, he dislikes having to do all the public stuff that comes with the awards. 

    Also, I am of the opinion that there won't be too many AFL-wide awards for Dees players during this era. We have too many players playing at the peak of their powers, all at the same time. Trac, Clarry, Max, Gus, May, Viney, etc... all taking votes from each other. I will be very glad to be wrong and would love to see some of them rewarded. But Premierships count so much more.

    Clearly if it’s fair dinkum then Oliver gets 10 votes last night.  Fagan might give Neale one vote if he’s generous.  

    Pretty even performance from our boys. If I was Goody I'd give Clarry maximum to look after him. Certainly would be undeserved votes

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
